A Usable Workflow in Optical Metrology

The Evo Series provides unparalleled metrology-grade accuracy and unmatched user experience.

In modern manufacturing, where complex geometries and reflective or composite surfaces are routine, handheld metrology must do more than capture points. Engineers need repeatable, traceable data without depending solely on CMM availability. A recently launched handheld scanner was developed for this: a usable approach to optical metrology that keeps verification close to production.

The recently launched Handyscan 3D Evo Series evolves a platform by combining accredited performance with on‑scanner guidance. Acceptance testing are based on ISO 10360, and calibration is performed in ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories, so scan‑derived conclusions can be audited like traditional measurements. For engineers who weigh method as much as result, this framing shifts the question from “Is the scan good?” to “What does it say about the part or the process?”

A defining change is the embedded Gui with a 4.3 inch onboard display. Operators see mesh generation, coverage indicators, and key parameters directly on the device, reducing attention shifts between scanner and workstation. Real‑time cues help ensure complete data on features that drive tolerance decisions. The effect is a steadier, guided acquisition rhythm that different teams can reproduce with less variability.
