Software
The handheld, self-positioning 3D laser scanners from the Handyscan 3D line-up are mainly used for 3D scanning and data acquisition. These scanners “read” a physical shape, determine its position in space and transmit this information to a data acquisition and post-treatment software.
Handyscan Scanning Module™ (HSM) plug-in for CATIA V5
The Handyscan Scanning Module for CATIA V5 was developed within the scope of the CAAV5 Software Partner Program of Dassault Systèmes, developer of the world-renowned CATIA V5 CAD software.
The VxScan data acquisition software fully integrates the process of scanning 3D objects with the Handyscan 3D™ laser scanner into CATIA V5. The key is that the acquisition process is fully integrated with post treatment, model re-construction, surfacing and inspection operations to gain efficiency.
The versatility and the accuracy of the Handyscan 3D™ laser scanner combined with the ability to scan directly into CATIA's environment delivers great benefits to organisations using Dassault Systèmes' CATIA platform, and that are striving to reduce development time.
Indeed, no data transfer is required, which ensures the model's integrity. Users also work with the same consistent, ergonomic and intuitive environment that they are used to, therefore shortening the learning curve and eliminating the need to use many software.
CATIA is a suite of software applications that includes all aspects of product design, which are CAD (computer-aided design), CAE (computer-aided engineering) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing), thanks to functionalities that support all types of collaborative product design or facilitate seamless integration to ensure integral support of the company's processes.
VxScan, Creaform’s proprietary acquisition data software
very 3D handheld and self-positioning laser scanner REVscan and EXAscan is sold with VxScan™, the data acquisition software developed by Creaform. This performing software has proven very efficient and powerful.
VxScan's main features
Easy to learn and use software
In the mind of VxScan's designers, ease of use is not a principle, it is a philosophy. We went the extra mile to develop a software that is extremely powerful, yet easy to use. With VxScan, forget about countless buttons menus and never-ending training before being able to use your scanner! You get the first results in a few minutes, no matter your expertise level!
Plug and Play System
The technology used in our products allow for simple installation, without any compromise on quality or accuracy. The Handyscan 3D scanners are lightweight, truly portable and readily available. From the moment it is taken out of the suitcase, less than 60 seconds are required for the scanner to be functional!
Surface optimization algorithm
Even if our products present a stylish and user-friendly interface, one must not underestimate the power of the treatment feature, which now reaches beyond what we thought possible. Our technology and algorithms allow for maximal optimization of the scanned surfaces. These advanced processes generate extremely accurate surfaces.
Real-time rendering feature
Thanks to the Handyscan 3D technology, no need to wait to see the results! A rendering displays in real time the surface being scanned with the scanner. The image can be viewed at all times.
File exportation in standard formats
No matter the use you make out of our products, our software simplifies the process by allowing you to export your results directly in standard formats used worldwide.
Mesh optimization
Quite obviously, the generation of quality results depends on the high quality of the meshing. VxScan's highly performing algorithms provide unequalled mesh optimization, for crisp, detailed and accurate results.
Sensor autocalibration
The technology used by the scanners of the Handyscan 3D line-up allows for autocalibration. In a nutshell, this means that everything is done by itself! One simple click and a few seconds is all that is needed for the calibration to take place.
Windows-based system
Our software and products are based on the most renowned platform in the world, to ensure maximum compatibility.
