Wireless 3D scanning devices generally fall into three categories: external wireless, embedded wireless, and standalone. External wireless systems like the Mobility Kit integrate all wireless components directly into the solution, so no external router or additional hardware is required to connect to a computer. Embedded wireless devices eliminate cables on the scanner itself but still depend on a separate router to manage communication with a computer. Standalone scanners are fully self‑contained and operate independently, capturing and processing data without the need for a computer during scanning.
The built-in GUI aligns the user’s view with the scan and the object, making scanning more intuitive and comfortable. The integrated display provides real-time guidance, instant access to settings, and live 3D feedback, reducing reliance on a computer and improving data validation.
Yes, all HandySCAN 3D scanners from FARO CREAFORM are specifically engineered to perform reliably and accurately—independent of vibration—in outdoor, industrial, and shop floor environments.
Yes, all HandySCAN 3D scanners from FARO CREAFORM are engineered to handle complex geometries and surface types, including shiny, dark, or reflective materials, which are often found in industrial components.
Calibration is now simplified with a compact scale bar that fits directly into the scanner case. Just place it in the environment of the scanned part and the system performs real-time calibration automatically, ensuring accuracy with minimal setup.
The HandySCAN 3D scanners from FARO CREAFORM are designed and manufactured in Canada. FARO CREAFORM develops and produces the handheld scanners at its facilities in Lévis, Quebec, which is also where the company is headquartered.
