The VIUscan™ laser scanner

A full palette of possibilities!

Once again, Creaform pushes the limits of portable 3D scanning with the introduction of the VIUscan™. This new self-positioning scanner opens the door to quick, affordable and accurate color scanning processes. With this breakthrough scanner, Handyscan 3D definitely shifts to 4D!

Part of a well-renowned line-up of advanced 3D scanners, the VIUscan is the only truly portable handheld 3D color scanner to deliver such accurate and hyperrealistic results.

Applications:

Entertainment/Multimedia: Face/body still scans for realistic human representation, special effects or face replacement (stunts). Digitizing of real life inanimate objects/environments for optimum realism, production of full size decors through the digitizing of small scale maquettes.

Museology/Heritage Preservation: Representation of art pieces for multimedia presentations, virtual museums (Web, on-site), digital archiving, production of replicas for commercial and marketing purposes (ex.: scaled down version of statues), damage assessment, restoration of cultural heritage (reverse engineering/repairs based on remains), virtual restoration, 3D reproduction of archaeological/historical sites, scanning of fossils, scanning of fossils for analysis, reconstitution and reconstruction purposes.

E-Marketing/Web Development: Scanning of objects for interactive 3D content (e.g. product animation or visualization in 3D for online sales), production of 3D models for web design.

Industrial Design: Reverse engineering (design from existing color objects), design from scaled down color maquettes, coloured or annotated clay models, shape and color part inspection, technical documentation (assembly, maintenance and repair document), 3D collaboration.

Other applications include 3D scanning of existing objects, 3D archiving, forensics, artistic and medical applications, complex shape acquisition, measurements archiving, damage assessment, digital models and mock-ups and rapid prototyping.
