Business Value of HandySCAN BLACK|Elite

Fast Setup, Accurate Results

Save time and increase confidence in your results with the ability to scan a wide variety of parts and assemblies. With less time needed to prepare the part before scanning and to restore it to its original pre-preparation state, users can scan more parts faster, with greater throughput.

Maximum Versatility

Measure large, complex, harder-to-access features like deep holes and fine details common in an engine chassis, and eliminate the need to use additional metrology devices, getting more done with the same system. The scanner is directly compatible with FARO’s CAM2 Software and allows current customers to use in their native software ecosystem.

Trust Your Results

The HandySCAN BLACK|Elite 3D scanner meets the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. Backed by ISO 17025-compliant accredited calibration laboratories, this cutting-edge made-in-North America technology guarantees traceable and repeatable results and includes worldwide repair and customer support.

Short Learning Curve

HandySCAN BLACK|Elite is integrated with FARO CAM2 Scan Professional Software and FARO CAM2 Expert Software, part of the FARO® CAM2® Software Editions. It is also compatible with other leading metrology software, including Innovmetric, Oqton, Siemens, Autodesk, and more. Whichever software platform is selected, users have the flexibility to inspect parts in their preferred environment, avoiding additional training costs and reducing the need for differentiated skill sets.

Smart Resolution

Advanced mesh intelligence determines the most preferable resolution level for each scan.

Automatic Shutter

Camera and laser lines optimize surface measurement for better performance on difficult, contrasted finishes.

Live Mesh Visualization

The on-screen display directly reflects the 3D model as the point -cloud is generated.

AI-Driven Target Detection

AI-driven intelligence automatically identifies and tracks targets.

Real-time Feedback

Real-time feedback guarantees optimal data acquisition for anyone, at any time.

Mesh Enhancement

Sophisticated algorithms provide superior mesh quality

Flexible working distance

200 to 450 mm (7.9 x 29.5 in) for faster acquisition

High measurement rate

Up to 1,300,000 measurements/s

Large scanning area

Scanner generates 22 blue laser lines, plus an extra line for deep holes

Quick setup

Up-and-running in less than 2 minutes

Lightweight

HandySCAN BLACK|Elite is one of the lightest and most compact 3D metrology handheld products. It’s a small but important feature that has a noteworthy knock-on effect. Lighter weight means easier to use, less physical strain, and reduced risk of repetitive-stress injury. All of which adds up to fewer hours of lost productivity or downtime.

Self-positioning with dynamic referencing

The scanner uses specialized targets to know where it is while scanning. This self-positioning system means users don’t require a tripod or fixed setup. With dynamic referencing, both the scanner and object can move, but accuracy stays consistent, making scanning faster, easier, and more flexible anywhere.

Fits into a suitcase

When portability is key, size is critical. The HandySCAN BLACK|Elite is designed for compact storage. That means it can fit in a standard suitcase – ideal for taking the scanner to the jobsite in question, or to another location on-site.

Take it anywhere you need

No fixed setup or special environment is required, giving you flexibility to capture accurate 3D measurements wherever your projects demand precision and speed.

3D Scanning for Quality Control, Reverse Engineering, and Non-destructive Testing

From simple 3D scanning tasks to complex development projects, HandySCAN BLACK|Elite improves quality control, accelerates time to market, and supports reverse engineering, quality control, and NDT applications while reducing costs.

 

In-Process Parts Inspection 

Identifying errors further upstream in the manufacturing process is key to reducing rework, waste, scrap and the need to monitor that production processes are still within tolerance. With faster scanning, and industry-leading measurement technology, users will be able to reduce downtime and gain intelligence on process trends. Not just knowing when a part or a machine is out of tolerance, but when it’s heading in that direction.

Final Inspection

Whether it’s a car, a boat, an airplane turbine, or any medium-to-large part, scan for quality control and to ensure that all parts are within tolerance. HandySCAN BLACK|Elite allows users to close the inspection loop faster and move to the next project with ease, saving time and money.

Reverse Engineering

Intricate and complex shapes are hard to design or inspect without scan data. What’s more, existing parts may not have a digital history to re-use for design purposes, delaying the development process and go-to-market. With HandySCAN BLACK|Elite, intricate shapes can be 3D scanned with minimal setup and capturing time, allowing data to be used for reverse engineering or CAD modeling, accelerating time to market.
