The HandySCAN 3D MAX Series is designed to bring portable, metrology-grade 3D scanning to aerospace product development and quality workflows, with the next-generation HandySCAN MAX EVO and MAX EVO Elite extending the EVO platform to large-part measurement. The systems are positioned for quality control, quality assurance, maintenance, repair and overhaul, and non-destructive testing applications.
For product development teams, 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, rather than relying exclusively on fixed metrology workstations. The system is designed for a broad range of part sizes and complex geometries, including highly reflective materials without surface preparation, 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 MAX Series is described as maintaining measurement reliability and accredited accuracy in accordance with ISO 17025 and VDI/VDE 2634 standards. Integrated photogrammetry is intended to support accurate measurement of large, complex parts outside controlled environments, a capability the product information links to maintenance operations on the hangar floor where aircraft downtime must be minimized.
Inspection at the point of work
When paired with the Mobility Kit, the MAX Series is designed for wireless, cable-free inspection for daily quality control. The stated value for large aerospace components is the ability to bring inspection to the point of work and reduce 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 is intended to support more comfortable measurement, including complex, elevated and overhead scanning tasks. Real-time mesh visualization also lets operators check data coverage during scanning and identify missed areas before leaving the part, according to the product information.
For hangar and other real-world environments, the combination of mobility, continuous feedback and fast data acquisition is presented as supporting 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, the product information states.
The MAX Series is also described as capable of measuring fuselage sections, wings and structural assemblies, with the aim of reducing setup and disassembly requirements that can slow aerospace inspection. These are product-positioning claims; the supplied information does not include independent test results or customer deployments.
