Canada-based Creaform, a worldwide leader in portable and automated 3D measurement solutions, has launched the third-generation version of its patented professional-grade Go!Scan 3D portable 3D scanner - Go!Scan Spark.

This portable 3D scanner has been specifically designed for product development professionals who need the most efficient portable scanner to capture 3D data of physical objects—anywhere, said a company statement.
 
Go!Scan Spark features four inline cameras for faster 3D scanning and colour acquisition. It also features an ergonomic design that allows for different types of hand positions, it said.

The Go!Scan Spark enables full-field dimensional measurements on a wide array of surfaces and textures for various product development applications.
 
The Go!Scan Spark features include:
• Plug and play: No setup required. Robust positioning using geometry, colour or targets;
• 4X better resolution: Stunning scan quality with flawless tracking on colour texture and geometry;
• 3X faster measurement speed and instant workable files: Scanning area featuring 99 stripes that take up to 1,500,000 measurements per second, ultimately cutting down the time to get usable mesh files, which users can import into 3D modelling and 3D printing software without post-processing;
• 2X more accurate: Reliable measurements of up to 0.050 mm;
• Intelligent design: The multi-position handle integrates efficient ergonomics through an effective design.

Simon Côté, product manager at Creaform, said: “The work of product designers and engineering has greatly evolved over the past few decades.”

“Today, product development teams are under increasing pressure to innovate more quickly, work with multidisciplinary, remote teams and launch products faster than ever before,” he said.

“The new scanner generates quality 3D models, facilitates the design iteration process, mitigates errors and speeds up reverse engineering. Without a doubt, it is a key tool in designing products to maintain a leadership position in innovation and a manufacturer’s specific market sectors,” he added.
 
Creaform introduced the Go!Scan Spark at the company’s international sales meeting. It will make its European debut at the Control international trade fair in Stuttgart, Germany, which takes place May 7 to 10, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
