The optical CMM 3D scanner for industrial applications

The most accurate manual or automated 3D scanning solution, whether in a lab or on the shop floor.

The MetraSCAN 3D is the most complete 3D scanning solution for metrology-grade measurements and inspection. Truly portable and insensitive to changes found in shop-floor environments (e.g. vibrations, part displacement, set-up or CMM instability), it is highly efficient at measuring parts that can’t be moved to a granite or cast iron table.

Creaform's 3D scanners working for these industries

Creaform has set itself apart in the aerospace industry as a strong and reliable supplier of portable 3D solutions in various applications including quality control and inspection, reverse engineering of original parts, and prototype, tooling and mold adjustment.

Creaform is a key partner in the automotive and transport industries. Thanks to a deep understanding of both industries, Creaform's portable 3D measurement technologies play an important role in many applications including design, styling, reverse engineering, prototyping, quality control and inspection, manufacturing and replacement part design.

When it comes to product design, Creaform's systems are known for their quality and high efficiency in applications, such as product design and styling, ergonomic studies, tooling adjustment and reverse engineering of packaging.

Since Creaform tests all of its portable 3D measurement technologies in real shop floor conditions, manufacturers turn to our highly reliable and accurate solutions for quality control and inspection, machine and tooling design and adjustment, work instructions, and part design.

With optical 3D measurement and Creaform's 3D technologies gaining more and more attention since 2005, numerous post-secondary institutions from all over the world have since started to teach the basics of 3D technologies--all while putting them to effective use. To remain on top of on all the latest developments, these establishments have made it their focus to ensure that their research staff, teachers and students learn to use 3D equipment.
