Built to deliver fast, reliable, and highly accurate measurements, it performs flawlessly across all part sizes, surface finishes, and materials, anywhere the job takes you.
Certified to the industry’s most rigorous standards, the BLACK Series combines speed, versatility, and ease of use to capture highly detailed data in seconds—even in challenging environments and on complex geometries.
The HandySCAN BLACK delivers metrology-grade accuracy with up to 0.025 mm (0.0009 in) single-point accuracy and volumetric accuracy of 0.020 mm + 0.040 mm/m. Performance is certified to ISO 10360 and VDI/VDE standards, ensuring reliable, repeatable measurements for inspection and reverse engineering across small and large parts alike.
The Creaform HandySCAN BLACK Elite is designed for true portability in industrial metrology: it’s a standalone handheld 3D laser scanner that needs no tripod or external tracking devices, so you can take it anywhere and start scanning quickly. It’s lightweight (about 0.94 kg / 2.1 lb) and compact enough to fit into a small suitcase with accessories, making it easy to carry between labs, shop floors, or field locations without special setups.
The HandySCAN BLACK+ Elite captures up to 1.8 million measurements per second for rapid, high-density scanning. It offers two scanning volumes—a close range (~200–450 mm) for maximum accuracy and detail, and an extended range (up to ~750 mm) for faster coverage of larger parts
