The HandySCAN 3D MAX Series is a portable, metrology-grade 3D scanning line intended for large and complex aerospace components. Its next-generation MAX EVO and MAX EVO Elite models extend the EVO platform to large-part measurement in product development, quality control and assurance, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and non-destructive testing.
The MAX EVO is aimed at aerospace product development teams, with volumetric accuracy of 0.150 mm + 0.020 mm/m. The system is designed to measure a broad range of part sizes and challenging geometries, including highly reflective surfaces without preparation. That could streamline work on fuselage sections, wings and structural assemblies by reducing setup and disassembly, according to the product information.
The MAX EVO Elite targets quality and NDT workflows that need higher precision, with volumetric accuracy of 0.075 mm + 0.010 mm/m. The product information states that the series maintains measurement reliability and accredited accuracy in line with ISO 17025 and VDI/VDE 2634. Integrated photogrammetry supports large-part measurement outside controlled environments, including hangar-floor maintenance where aircraft downtime must be minimized.
Bringing inspection to the work area
With the Mobility Kit, the MAX Series enables wireless, cable-free inspection for daily quality control. The EVO platform includes an embedded screen for scanner control and real-time data visualization, keeping scan data and the physical part in the operator's line of sight. Real-time mesh visualization lets operators check coverage and find missed areas before leaving the part.
The combination of mobility, continuous feedback and fast data acquisition is intended to support a more efficient scan-to-report process, particularly around large aircraft structures and hard-to-reach areas.
