HandySCAN 3D MAX Series is a portable, metrology-grade 3D scanning line for large and complex aerospace components. The next-generation HandySCAN MAX EVO and EVO Elite extend the EVO platform to large-part measurement, with workflows spanning product development, quality control and assurance, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and non-destructive testing.
Two accuracy levels
The HandySCAN MAX EVO is rated at a volumetric accuracy of 0.150 mm + 0.020 mm/m. It is positioned for aerospace product development teams measuring large, complex components, and its portable design allows measurements to be captured where aircraft structures and components are being developed, inspected or maintained rather than only at fixed metrology workstations. The system is designed for a broad range of part sizes, complex geometries and challenging surface conditions, including highly reflective materials, without surface preparation. That can help streamline measurement of fuselage sections, wings and structural assemblies and reduce the setup and disassembly requirements that can slow aerospace inspection processes.
The HandySCAN MAX EVO Elite is aimed at aerospace quality teams conducting large-component inspection and non-destructive testing workflows that require higher precision, with a volumetric accuracy of 0.075 mm + 0.010 mm/m. The series maintains measurement reliability and accredited accuracy in accordance with ISO 17025 and VDI/VDE 2634 standards. Integrated photogrammetry supports accurate measurement of large and complex parts outside controlled environments. That is particularly relevant for maintenance operations, where inspections often need to take place on the hangar floor and aircraft downtime must be minimized. Accurate 3D data can be captured without extensive setup or moving parts to a dedicated inspection area.
Inspection at the point of work
When paired with the Mobility Kit, the MAX Series enables wireless, cable-free inspections for daily quality control. For large aerospace components, the practical value is bringing inspection directly to the point of work and reducing reliance on fixed workstations, carts and cumbersome cable setups. The EVO platform includes an embedded screen for scanner control and real-time data visualization. Keeping scan data and the physical part within the operator's line of sight can support more comfortable measurement, including complex, elevated and overhead scanning tasks. Real-time mesh visualization also lets operators validate data coverage as they scan and identify missed areas before leaving the part.
For aerospace teams working in hangars and other real-world environments, mobility, continuous feedback and fast data acquisition support a more efficient scan-to-report process. Technicians can move freely around large aircraft structures and hard-to-reach areas, capture data directly at the asset and complete inspections with less interruption to maintenance and quality workflows.
