Rio Tinto Iron & Titanium: improving analysis methods with the Handyscan 3D
By: Isabelle Roy
25 Mar 2013As part of a measurement campaign targeted toward carbon electrodes in reduction furnaces, Rio Tinto Iron & Titanium wanted to follow up on its different electrode consumption mechanisms and optimize them, in order to better identify its electrode consumption reduction needs, and analyze the different possible solutions from an economic standpoint.
Rio Tinto wanted to study [...]
We recently received this image of a rock crab, scanned for an exhibit to be unveiled later this month at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, in California. The critter was digitalized using the newest member of our portable scanner family: the Go!SCAN 3D.
The author, Jay Morewood, a rapid prototyping engineer for Zip-Bit, said that the scan [...]
We even help scan… mastodons!
By: Isabelle Roy
13 Feb 2013We always knew that the Creaform products were versatile, but sometimes their application surprise and amaze even us!
The University of Michigan owns a Handyscan 3D, which is made available to its research staff for various projects. In their own words, “this method of scanning is perfect for not only capturing an object’s basic form but [...]

Short-range 3D scanning technologies: an overview
By: Daniel Brown
3 Dec 2012According to engineer Dr. Mostafa Abdel-Bary Ebrahim “a 3D scanner collects distance information about surfaces within its field of view. The “picture” produced by a 3D scanner describes the distance to a surface at each point in the picture. This allows the three dimensional position of the each point in the picture to be identified [...]
3D Scanning of Frog Castings
By: Isabelle Roy
26 Nov 2012Based in the Czech Republic, DT is a leader manufacturer of turnout structures for railways, undergrounds and tramway tracks. Using a Handyscan 3D portable self-positioning 3D scanner from Creaform, DT scans the frog casting of rails. The profile and geometry are scanned for further monitoring of running edges surfaces in operating conditions.
2012 Olympics: How 3D Scanning is helping Australia’s Kayak team
By: Stéphane Auclair
27 Jul 2012What do Olympic Kayakers and 3D data have in common? The ability to make custom-fit shapes to allow kayak slalomers become world beaters.
Olympic sport keeps pushing athletes to find new and nuanced ways to condition their bodies. The same is true with their equipment. Engineers continually look for new refinements that propel the competition to [...]
