LEVIS, Canada, November 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Creaform, one of the world's leading manufacturers of 3D measurement technologies, presents at Euromold and to the entire world its new MetraSCAN optical CMM 3D scanner.

Despite a very recent launch at mid-October, customers such as BRP, a world leader in the design and manufacturing of motorized recreational vehicles and powersports engines, moved fast and already expanded their suite of inspection and quality control instruments with a MetraSCAN 3D unit.

The portable, arm-free MetraSCAN 3D and the C-Track 780 dual camera sensor are used to take precise measurements in the laboratory and in production. When combined with the HandyPROBE, this comprehensive and efficient measuring solution improves the reliability, speed and versatility of measuring processes. Thanks to a unique design and powerful algorithms, the MetraSCAN 3D scanner delivers a volumetric accuracy that outperforms that of articulated arms of similar size. The MetraSCAN also features TRUaccuracy technology, which guarantees highly accurate dimensional measurements regardless of the measurement environment (instability, vibrations, thermal variations, etc.) or operator skill level.

Meet us at our Euromold stand (Hall 8, Stand I150) to see the MetraSCAN in action, along with the complete range of Handyscan 3D self-positioning handheld laser scanners and the HandyPROBE portable and wireless optical CMM. These innovations are equally portable and easy to use, fulfilling a wide range of 3D scanning and probing applications.
