The HandySCAN 3D MAX Series is aimed at aerospace teams that need to measure large, complex parts in product development and quality workflows. The portable, metrology-grade scanning line includes two models, the HandySCAN MAX EVO and the HandySCAN MAX EVO Elite, both extending the EVO platform to large-part measurement. The series is intended for quality control, quality assurance, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and non-destructive testing workflows.
For product development, the MAX EVO is specified with volumetric accuracy of 0.150 mm + 0.020 mm/m. Its portable format is intended to let teams capture 3D measurements where aircraft structures and components are being developed, inspected or maintained, instead of depending solely on fixed metrology stations. The system is designed for a range of part sizes, complex geometries and difficult surface conditions, including highly reflective materials, without surface preparation. That could simplify measurement of fuselage sections, wings and structural assemblies by reducing setup and disassembly work that can slow inspection.
The MAX EVO Elite is positioned for quality teams that need higher precision in large-component inspection and non-destructive testing. Its volumetric accuracy is 0.075 mm + 0.010 mm/m. The MAX Series maintains measurement reliability and accredited accuracy in accordance with ISO 17025 and VDI/VDE 2634 standards. Integrated photogrammetry is included to support accurate measurement of large, complex parts outside controlled environments.
That combination is relevant to aerospace maintenance, where inspections often take place on the hangar floor and aircraft downtime needs to be limited. The systems are designed to capture accurate 3D data without extensive setup or moving parts to a dedicated inspection area.
When paired with the Mobility Kit, the MAX Series enables wireless, cable-free inspections for daily quality control. The intended benefit for large aerospace components is bringing inspection to the point of work and reducing reliance on fixed workstations, carts and cumbersome cable setups.
The EVO platform also 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 is intended to make measurement more comfortable, including complex, elevated and overhead scanning tasks. Real-time mesh visualization enables operators to check data coverage during scanning and spot missed areas before leaving the part.
For aerospace teams in hangars and other real-world environments, the combination of mobility, continuous feedback and fast data acquisition is intended to support a more efficient scan-to-report process. Technicians can move around large aircraft structures and hard-to-reach areas, capture data at the asset and complete inspections with less interruption to maintenance and quality workflows.
