Portable Wireless CMM Systems for Accurate Industrial Measurement

The HandyPROBE delivers metrology-grade measurement accuracy with the flexibility of a fully portable wireless probing system. Designed for dimensional inspection, alignment, and validation workflows, it enables precise measurements directly on the shop floor without fixed setups or dedicated metrology rooms.

About the HandyPROBE System

The HandyPROBE is a portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) designed to provide accurate and reliable dimensional measurements in real-world industrial environments. Its wireless operation and optical tracking technology allow inspection teams to measure parts directly on-site while maintaining metrology-grade precision.

Engineered for flexibility and portability, the HandyPROBE eliminates the limitations of traditional fixed CMM systems by enabling accurate inspection of large, complex, and difficult-to-move components. This makes it ideal for manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and heavy-industry applications where mobility and accuracy are essential.

Product Development and Design

3D Scanning Solutions for Product Development and Design

Product development refers to all of the stages involved in bringing a product to market—from inception through conception and engineering design to product development. Computer-aided design (CAD) software is used as a design tool to enhance product development.

As project managers, senior engineers, or engineering directors, you are responsible for finding ideas that lead to new product introduction. Innovation is the essential element that maintains your company’s competitive edge through the development of new technologies, new projects, new angles, and new niches that help you surpass your competitors.

As design engineers or industrial designers, you participate in all of the activities related to product development and implementation. You must first determine if the design intent is feasible and if all of the necessary tools and software to realize the whole project are accessible and available. Then, you design parts (often with complex shapes and geometries) and create 3D models while minimizing iterations in order to shorten the design cycle.

Quality Control & Quality Assurance

3D Scanning Solutions for Quality Control & Quality Assurance (QC/QA)

Dimensional quality control (QC) is a process that measures the dimensions of manufactured parts to ensure that they adhere to a defined set of quality criteria and match customers’ requirements. Quality assurance (QA), on the other hand, consists of a set of procedures that prevent mistakes and defects in the different steps of the manufacturing process in order to avoid non-compliance when delivering parts to customers.

As QC managers, you have the delicate task of ensuring—even improving—the quality of the manufactured parts by applying effective controls performed with reliable, fast, and easy-to-use measuring equipment. You are also responsible for testing and validating the true performance of these instruments. Therefore, equipment unavailability, inefficiency, and limitations are obstacles to your work performance.

As QA engineers, you are in charge of investigating the problems raised by QC and production, performing the root cause analysis (often under pressure), and implementing corrective actions quickly to limit downtime. Through this process, you will also look for ways to improve the manufacturing process while minimizing production costs and lead time.

Reverse Engineering

3D Scanning and Scan-to-CAD Solutions for Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering is a process that involves measuring a physical object and reconstructing it as a 3D model to recover the design intent—a perfect reconstruction of the original design—in terms of simple analytical surfaces (planes, cylinders, etc.) and freeform surfaces (NURBS) in order to produce a new reference CAD model.

As CAD engineers and industrial designers, you have the critical task of adapting and maintaining parts with shapes that are frequently organic and complex. Since the CAD models are often no longer available or difficult to find, you have to reconstruct the 3D models and integrate them into the design.

The reasons for reverse engineering are multiple: to replace damaged components (for which CAD models are nonexistent), to update obsolete parts, to fit new parts into a current assembly or environment, to generate new manufacturing plans, or simply to analyze competitors’ product features. 3D scanners are generally the preferred technology for extracting dimensional information and representing it as a point cloud or an automatic and instant mesh.
