Handyscan 3d

With an accuracy of 0.025 mm, the Creaform HandySCAN 3D sets the standard for portable metrology-grade 3D scanning. It is the most effective and reliable way to acquire accurate 3D measurements of physical objects anywhere, generating incredibly accurate and repeatable results—even in difficult environments and with complex surfaces.

​The Chief Engineering team utilizes the HandySCAN 3D for highly efficient applications, including reverse engineering, compatibility and fit, quality control, and jig & tooling. This technology can be utilized independently or coupled with engineering services.

Reverse engineering

Reverse engineering services turn a painstaking task into a cakewalk by scanning your product or component and provide you with models and drawings.  The level of detail can range from general drawings for tolerance information to fabrication and shop drawings for product or component replication. 

Compatibility & fit

When parts are too tight, too loose, or have different tolerances, our compatibility and fit service can make the impossible possible. We can scan the mating parts and provide models, accurate fits and tolerances to ensure that parts mate exactly as intended. 

Quality control 

We make quality control inspection a breeze, offering you the ability to compare product, components and replacement parts against the certified part to verify that your new part is certified for use and accurate to the highest required degree. 

Jig & Tooling

Combined with reverse engineering and compatibility and fit services, a jig and tooling service can provide you with the jigs for any application. Create quality inspection jigs for inspection checks, component jigs for automation applications, and assembly jigs for multiple parts. 

Chief Engineering PLLC is an official Creaform distributor. ​

Terrestrial scanning

Our facility and process mapping services provide an accurate scan and model of the exact conditions of your environment. A metrology specialist will scan the process or facility and provide a 3D point cloud file and CAD model that gives access to all dimensions without physically performing a single measurement. A typical service includes onsite scanning, scan registration, and an interactive 3D model of the facility and/or process. Pairing this service with an engineering design package allows our engineers to model your design exactly as it will fit within the facility, ensuring no detail is missed and accounts for every variable.

In engineering, 3D scanning enhances the project team’s ability to identify exact locations and distances and design challenges up front and ensures designs will work as intended. There are numerous benefits to using 3D scanning technology and unlimited potential to capture any aspect of reality. It continues to revolutionize the way engineers, project managers, constructors, and key stakeholders interact for the successful outcome of any challenge. Interested in learning more about the technology and how it can reshape the way you think about design?

Terrestrial scanning: HOW IT WORKS

1

First, the team identifies the key project details before the 3D scanner is deployed.

2

A series of scans is completed and registered in real-time with an accuracy of 1 mm at a distance of up to 230 feet.

3

Once complete, the scans are rendered together with accuracy as tight as a 1/32”.
