FARO, a business unit of AMETEK, Inc., has announced the addition of the HandySCAN BLACK|Elite as the first initiative under its recent strategic partnership with Creaform.
Following its acquisition by AMETEK, FARO, Creaform, and Virtek now operate within the same division, the Ultra Precision Technologies Division, creating a robust product portfolio. The introduction of the handheld scanner to the FARO lineup reflects the close collaboration between the two companies, with a shared focus on delivering integrated solutions for the manufacturing sector.
HandySCAN BLACK|Elite has been part of the Creaform lineup since 2019 and has demonstrated its value in the handheld scanning market. Optimized to meet the needs of design, manufacturing, and metrology professionals, the scanner is a metrology-grade handheld solution built for reliable 3D measurement across various part sizes, surface types, and materials.
The product will now integrate with CAM2, so existing FARO customers can remain within their native software ecosystem, while newcomers to the 3D scanning market can experience what the software has to offer.
"HandySCAN BLACK|Elite is an exceptional scanner and has proven to be a most effective metrology-grade handheld solution," said Fanny Truchon, President and Business Unit Manager at Creaform and FARO. "When combined with FARO's existing CAM2 software, it becomes a valuable addition to the 3D measurement lineup, benefiting FARO customers. The partnership highlights both companies' commitment to advancing 3D metrology technologies and delivering innovative solutions that enhance quality and performance in the highly competitive manufacturing industry."
