21 May 2013Here’s a video we digged up from our archives about the MaxSHOT 3D (you can actually add photogrammetry capabilities to your Creaform technos by using a MaXSHOT 3D with them).
Yeah, it goes back to the product launch in 2010 – but, hey, a little refresh can’t hurt!

15 Jan 2013Put us to the test… Once more!
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we introduce our third engineering contest, where one or a team of lucky participants will win $25,000 towards the realization of their dream project… Yes, you read that right. That’s the kind of people we are at Creaform: we will reward [...]
Simplifying inspection while increasing precision – How Olympus makes the most out of their HandyPROBE!
By: Serge Bonsaint metrologist
8 Jan 2013I recently faced an interesting challenge: inspecting a large metallic part according to the specifications of a 2D drawing, then producing a report certifying the part conformity –or not! This device belongs to one of our Quebec city-based client, Olympus, and is used for non destructive inspection (NDT) with ultrasounds to assess the structural and [...]
Creaform and Camoplast: Jig Control During Production
By: Isabelle Roy
15 Dec 2011Camoplast’s Polymer Solutions group is a leading provider of thermoplastics and Thermoset systems, as well as components for premium manufacturers and motor vehicle OEMs. Camoplast’s Roxton Falls division was looking for a quality control solution for its drilling jigs during production to ensure compliance on a regular basis.
Camoplast’s objectives:
Control jig bending and wear
Target potential bending [...]

29 Nov 2011It was to be expected that we would talk a lot about photogrammetry after we’ve launched the MaxSHOT 3D optical coordinates measuring system. But it’s OK, since what we have to say is interesting!
Product manager Dan Brown wrote a new column published on Quality Digest Online explaining how to enhance 3D scanning with photogrammetry…Here’s a [...]

14 Sep 2011We have had a pretty busy year so far, and we have worked very hard to enhance our products and develop new ones. September has seen 2 new product launches: the new HandyPROBE CMM and the all-new MaxSHOT 3D optical coordinate measuring system.
As for the HandyPROBE CMM, the sturdier and slimmer device shed a little more [...]
Handyscan 3D Product Manager Daniel Brown Strikes Again
By: Isabelle Roy
In: 3D Hardware| 3D Scanning Projects| 3D Technologies| Metrology and Inspection
26 Jul 2011We’ve got another excellent article published in the July edition of Quality Magazine. On the model of “Cooking for Dummies”, Dan wrote about the basics of 3D optical measurement technologies, and how their shop-floor accuracy, low sensitivity to the environment and higher pace of measurement make them serious contenders to traditional quality control devices.
“How do [...]
3D Laser Scanners: the Ongoing Quest for Portability
By: Daniel Brown
In: 3D Scanning Projects| 3D Technologies| Metrology and Inspection
8 Jul 2011In this article, you’ll find my reflexions about the ultimate 21st century goal in 3D laser scanning: increased portability.
(…) But during the past few decades, manufacturers have been increasingly interested in measuring devices that are both comprehensive in scope and portable. Nowadays, measurement has broken outside the labs, mainly because successful companies need to be able [...]
