VxScan 4.0

VxScan (officially styled “VXscan”) is Creaform’s 3D scanning and data acquisition module within the VXelements platform. It drives Creaform’s portable 3D scanners and delivers real-time visualization, making it easy to capture high‑quality surface data on the shop floor or in the field. With an intuitive interface and streamlined workflows, VXscan helps users quickly acquire clean meshes and get to downstream tasks faster.

Key capabilities:

• Real-time scanning feedback with live surface rendering and quality indicators
• Robust positioning and alignment tools (targets, geometry-based, best-fit)
• Built-in mesh optimization for fast cleanup (smoothing, decimation, hole filling, spike removal)
• Project management and scan organization for multi-session captures
• Seamless handoff to other VXelements modules (VXmodel for reverse engineering, VXinspect for inspection)
• Export to standard 3D formats (e.g., STL, OBJ, PLY) for CAD, metrology, and additive workflows

Typical uses:

• Preparing scan data for reverse engineering, inspection, and rapid prototyping
• Capturing as-built geometry for product development, manufacturing, and MRO environments
