Creaform presents the perfect 3d scanning solution for 3d printing applications

Fontaine, France, February 17, 2016 – Creaform, a worldwide leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and 3D engineering services, today presented the most versatile, portable and easy-to-use solution to create reliable 3D content-to-print from existing objects. The Go!SCAN 3D white-light 3D scanners, paired with VXmodel and VXinspect, respectively a 3D scan-to-print and a dimensional inspection software module, are the ideal solution for professionals in 3D printing and additive manufacturing.

When combining a Go!SCAN 3D scanner with VXmodel and VXinspect industry-oriented functionalities, users can scan any 3D object, quickly generate print-ready files and spot any potential flaws or defects on the printed output. Thanks to VXmodel and VXinspect, they can bypass the unnecessary post-treatment steps, quickly and easily prepare their files to be printed in 3D as well as validating the conformity of the produced parts.

Go!SCAN 3D scanners paired with VXmodel and VXinspect software offer a wealth of benefits, including:

• High speed 3D scanning: Typical objects are scanned in 5 minutes or less.

• Professional-grade measurements: The Go!SCAN 3D provides an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) and resolution of up to 0.2 mm (0.008 in.).

• Full-color 3D models: Users can easily and simultaneously capture high-quality geometry and colors.

• All the functionalities needed to prepare scan models for 3D printing: alignment, geometrical entities and cross-sections, mesh improvement, mesh editing, and more!

• Independent solutions: Works perfectly with any 3D printer.

• Complete and integrated support: Rely on Creaform’s extensive 3D scanning expertise and worldwide support.

“Creaform’s unique Go!SCAN 3D and VXmodel module are the perfect complement for engineering and CAD professionals that use a 3D printer,” said Francois Leclerc, Product Manager. “The combo’s seamless and quick integration with any 3D printing or CAD process means that users no longer need to rely on third-party post-treatment. This enables them to get the job done faster. With the Go!SCAN 3D, VXmodel and VXinspect, they ultimately get the most complete and versatile 3D scanning solution!”
