Embedded Screen for Streamlined 3D Scanning
The HandySCAN 3D MAX Series features a built-in display that improves ergonomics by keeping scan data and the physical part within the same line of sight, which creates a more comfortable scanning experience.
By providing real-time mesh visualization and guided workflows directly on the 3D scanner, the embedded screen streamlines the scanning process—simplifying onboarding and improving operational efficiency.

FAQ HandySCAN 3D MAX Series
-
The HandySCAN 3D MAX series is best suited for measuring large parts, assemblies, tooling, or structures that would require multiple setups with conventional handheld 3D scanners. The MAX Series helps users capture large measurement areas more efficiently while maintaining the metrology-grade accuracy required for inspection applications.
-
Yes. In addition to inspection tasks, the MAX Series can be used to capture large existing parts, tooling, molds, and assemblies that lack CAD models or require design modifications. The resulting 3D models can be imported into reverse engineering software to support redesign, customization, or legacy part replacement.
-
The HandySCAN 3D MAX Series is widely used in industries that work with large parts, including automotive, transportation, heavy equipment, energy, shipbuilding, rail, and manufacturing. It is particularly valuable when inspecting, maintaining, or reverse engineering large parts that are difficult to move or bring into a metrology lab.
-
Yes. Maintenance teams can use the MAX Series to document the condition of worn or damaged assets, compare parts against nominal CAD models, and generate accurate 3D models before repair or replacement. This can help improve planning and reduce downtime.
-
Measuring selected features provides information only at specific locations, while full-surface scanning captures the complete geometry of the part. This enables users to detect deviations that might otherwise go unnoticed, while creating a 3D model that can be reused for inspection, reverse engineering, and future measurement needs.
