HandyPROBE™ is a portable probing system designed to bring metrology directly to production. It is an optical CMM designed for shop floor use: it offers metrology-grade accuracy, operational simplicity, and true portability, even in unstable environments or non-ideal conditions.
Thanks to dynamic referencing and the wireless probe, HandyPROBE guarantees accurate and repeatable results regardless of measurement configuration, vibrations, environmental variations, or operator experience level. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for rigid setups: during the measurement sequence, you can freely move the part, optical tracker, and probe, expanding the working volume in a practical way.
HandyPROBE is a portable metrology solution for measuring geometric features on components of various sizes directly on the factory floor, optimizing inspection routines and increasing productivity.

Metrological accuracy
Accurate, reliable, and repeatable 3D measurements on the shop floor with accuracy up to 0.025 mm, supported by traceable certification.
Dynamic referencing
Optical reflectors reduce errors due to production environment conditions and enable consistent measurements even in the presence of instability.
Unconstrained setup
No rigid installation: you can freely move the system and part during measurement, expanding the working volume when needed.
Standards and certifications
The HandyPROBE acceptance test is based on ISO 10360. Performance tests are conducted in Creaform’s ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration laboratories.
Portable anywhere
"Arm-free" system with no physical connection between probe and tracker: maximum freedom of movement and use wherever the component is located.
Scalable with 3D scanning
Ability to add 3D scanning functionality by integrating MetraSCAN 3D, to extend the system beyond probing.
HandyPROBE is designed for the reality of the shop floor: it reduces setup times, simplifies mission-critical inspections, and accelerates production with an intuitive user experience.
- Automatic alignments for repetitive inspections without slowdowns
- On-site calibration to maintain constant accuracy over time
- Single case for system, tripod, and accessories, ideal for moving between production sites
Product development and design
Accelerates iterations and dimensional validations, reducing development time and supporting rapid decisions on the actual part.
Quality control and quality assurance
3D inspections on the shop floor to reduce rework, ensure compliance, and maintain consistent quality standards in production.
Reverse engineering
Rapid extraction of dimensional information from existing components to create reference models and support CAD reconstructions.
