Large-Scale 3D Scanning
Capture entire objects — accurately, portably, fast.
Some objects are too big for conventional scanners but still demand precision. Using the Creaform HandySCAN MAX, Persase captures complete, millimeter-accurate 3D scans of large, complex objects — right where they sit. No disassembly. No moving the object.
Persase in action — large-scale 3D scanning on site
What We Scan
- Complete aircraft — fuselage, wing surfaces, control surfaces, and interior cabin geometry
- Rail cars — full interior and exterior capture for refurbishment, compliance, or reverse engineering
- Escalators & elevators — as-built geometry for modernization and replacement part design
- Large industrial equipment — turbines, pumps, ship components, and heavy machinery
Industries That Use This
| Industry | How they use it |
|---|---|
| Aerospace | MRO planning, skin repair assessment, tooling verification against actual airframe geometry |
| Defense | Vehicle and weapons system documentation for sustainment and depot-level maintenance |
| Manufacturing | Large tooling, fixtures, and production equipment captured for reverse engineering or digital twin creation |
| Marine | Capturing lofted surfaces and features of boats, ship and submarine manufacturing |
the technology
Why the HandySCAN MAX?
It moves around the object — not the other way around. Self-referencing technology tracks its own position in real time, delivering a single unified point cloud with no stitching errors. Up to 0.025 mm accuracy across objects several meters in any dimension.
