3D scanning has an important place at the beginning and end of 3D fabrication workflows. Engineers, product designers, and researchers use 3D scanners as a faster and more efficient way to start constructing digital models, whether by incorporating existing designs via reverse engineering, digitizing hand-sculpted designs
e HandySCAN 3D | SILVER Series delivers accurate and reliable 3D measurements regardless of the measurement setup quality and the user’s experience level. Featuring dynamic referencing, both the scanner and part can move freely during scanning, and an accurate and high quality scan can still be obtained.
Using triangulation on optical reflectors to determine its relative position to the part, this handheld 3D scanner is a stand-alone device that does not require a tripod or any external tracking device to operate. Compact enough to fit into a small suitcase, it can be brought anywhere and used in any environmental conditions without its performance being affected.
3D scanning and printing workflows can be applied to replication and restoration, reverse engineering, metrology…

3D scanning software
VXelements™
The HandySCAN 3D | SILVER Series comes with VXelements, which powers our entire suite of 3D scanning and measurement technologies. It combines all the essential tools you need from data acquisition to CAD Software, in a user-friendly, simplified and sleek working environment.
Both structured light and laser 3D scanners use projected light and an offset camera to triangulate points on a scan object. A laser 3D scanner projects laser lines on the object, while structured light projects a focused grid from a digital projector. Structured-light 3D scanners can achieve higher accuracy than laser scanning due to the noise caused by laser speckle patterns.
