Creaform, a business of AMETEK, Inc. and worldwide provider of automated and portable 3D measurement solutions, announced the release of the new Sheet Metal Add-on as part of the recently released Creaform Metrology Suite. Designed to address industry specific needs, it tackles the many challenges of sheet metal inspection in the metalworking, automotive and aerospace industries. Providing measurements of sheet metal parts with never-before-seen accuracy and repeatability for 3D laser scanners, this software solution gives Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) professionals a higher confidence level in their 3D scan data, while empowering manufacturers to fully trust their inspection reports.

Previously a challenging endeavor, measuring thin sheet metal parts using 3D scanners used to be highly dependent on the users and the resolution settings. Now, however, the results generated by the new Sheet Metal Add-on are user independent. It quickly provides accurate and repeatable information on all sheet metal features, such as edges, holes, slots, rectangles, and trimmed edges. This specialized add-on provides the most flexible, complete, and simple measurement method, working in perfect synergy with the HandySCAN 3D|BLACK Series and all handheld MetraSCAN BLACK+ scanners.
