Yes, we travel with these 3D scanners all the time. The smaller scanners like the HandySCAN we carry onto the plane and the larger ones we check as baggage. All Creaform 3D scanners come in Pelican cases with plenty of foam for protection.

Hit "more" or "expand" or the "down icon" by the video discription and all the time stamps and links are there.

The links are in the description.

I would use a product like ExactFlat to create a 2D pattern from a 3D shape.

No it will not. There are new sensors in the HandySCAN Black+ that allow it to have the two scanning volumes.

Autoshutter only works on the new HandySCAN Black+ Elite & Limited Clipping cards work with the HandySCAN Black Elite, Black+ Elite, Black+ Elite Limited 360 Targets work on Silver Series and all Black series.

Let us know how it works out.

Yes that is a great idea. One of our customers does that and I thought about putting that in the video. We have used the flexible nylon fishnets with targets on them but found they move around too easily and you have to start your scan over.

@@EMS3D that's one reason why I don't use the flexible nylon mesh. The other issue is that the cleanup of the mesh gets messy because it easily gets in contact with the scanned object. When using the wired mesh with spacers I only need to delete the scanned spacers and can the use the semi automated selection tools of the scansoftware to easily select and delete the scanned wires. However the downside is that you can only bend the wired mesh in one direction to follow the geometry of the object. So for a car for example you will need multiple meshes in different sizes to cover everything. And they also aren't easy to store and carry around and you need to pay attention to not scratch the object if its sensitive like the paint of a car.

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

I would probably use our SpeedTarget tape and maybe some other artifacts like our targeted rods. Check out this video for more details. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j56kl9uis92deqs.html

Their site says 25k, no details on availability.

Yes the Silver Series starts at 25K. 2 week availably at the time of this post.

Creaform HandySCAN

​@@EMS3D Wow, that's very expensive. I am considering opening an eBay shop where I want to sell 3D printed things for various purposes. I have thought about buying a 3D scanner for this purpose, but the professional ones are quite expensive. What can you recommend for a maximum of 3000 USD for reverse engineering ? Resolution, accuracy, and details are most important things to me, I want scann small as well big obejcts (max 1000mmx1000mmx1000mm) .

@@arturvoskanyan2467 lol 10x that budget and youll get what you want.

⁠@@arturvoskanyan2467CR Otter would be my choice in 2024 for 10cm to 1m. For small to medium parts the CR Raptor. The scan software gets better each release so far. Every month a new version. Last one with a firmware update for the Raptor and Otter too.

The scanner's camera captures up to 200 DPI, 24 bit color. As far as quality you can see some nice examples in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5mZlM1m0pmwe2g.html

You can certainly CT Scan the parts however, it can be very expensive on large parts.

No problem. We enjoy educating people interested in 3D Scanning.

If you are 3D scanning the whole vehicle then the HandySCAN MAX is the best. If you are just doing areas like the front, mirrors, around the wheels, etc then they all do a great job.

Just checked the price 😮would I not get away with scanning a whole vehicle with a the peel 3 ?

@@signprintdesign3954 Sure you can use the peel 3 but it will require a lot of targets, scanning spray on many surfaces and time to scan (3 - 5 hours). The HandySCAN MAX will do it in 1 hour with few targets and no scanning spray and be more much more accurate.

Thanks. We try and spend time educating people, not just trying to sell them something or creating "click bait" for likes and subscribes.

Hey alexfang6784, prices change and varies with each country. Reach out to your local reseller for specific pricing. I can tell you the peel 3 (replaces the peel 2 in the video) starts at $8,700 USD and everything goes up from there.

It's an option.

Hi wfatv584 , These are not step by step training videos rather they are application overviews. They idea is to educated people on the general steps and processes for a given product or application. If you want step by step training we offer that as a service.

Yes, no photogrammetry is need with the new HandySCAN MAX. It is saving our customers so much time 3D scanning large objects as well as for our own engineering services group.

Send us some pictures and we can give you an idea of cost.

I probably should have explained that better. The initial plane you draw is just for the software to have a starting point. It actually looks at the scan data and finds the true mirror plane and then mirrors the data over that new plane.

@@EMS3Dah cool!

Hey James, all the mesh editing was done in VX Elements and flattening is done in Exact Flat running inside Rhino.

since this is 4 years old would you still use this method today?@@EMS3D

Thanks. Your right just following the manufactured model "as is" isn't the right approach. An understanding of manufacturing processes is key in reverse engineering any part or assembly of parts.

Thanks. Our goal is to educate people on all things 3D scanning.
