3D Data Acquisition Delivers Orthopedics and Prosthetics Solutions

In 2005, Creaform (Quebec, Canada) launched the first Handyscan 3D scanner, based on an innovative technology using triangulation as a way to position itself in space, and with respect to the part to be scanned. It quickly became apparent that this technology held tremendous possibilities in the medical industry. Creaform decided to further development in this field through original equipment manufacturer (OEM) agreements. Accordingly, the company developed an application programming interface to increase the adaptability of its data acquisition software and ultimately ensure reliable, clear, and seamless translation and communication with OEM partners’ proprietary software.
