Creaform's TRUaccuracy Technology

Creaform’s TRUaccuracy technology ensures highly-accurate measurements, regardless of the measurement environment (instability, vibrations, thermal variation, etc.) or operator skills. Request for information.

  • With the dynamic referencing mode of the C-Track, the coordinate system can be literally “locked” onto the part(s) being measured, thus maintaining part alignment during the entire 3D scanning process.
  • With the automatic alignment function, manual operation is no longer needed during the alignment phase and root cause errors are drastically reduced.
  • With the fast user calibration process using a certified gauge, the MetraSCAN delivers constant accuracy during its entire life cycle.
  • With the continuous monitoring of parameters (temperature, accuracy, etc.), constant accuracy is ensured during the entire useful life of products.
