The new branding stems from a continuum; “Innovation Takes Form” puts the spotlight on the company’s employees, partners and customers, and their journey through the Innovation mindset. This mindset builds on intrinsic expectations about the metrology market, namely the product, the relationship, and the ambition. Key to the success of Creaform are the satisfaction expressed when scanning and measuring with intuitive tools, the human connections made along the journey, and the ripple effect on the customer’s own ambition.

Innovation is at the crossroads of the people, their creations and their desire to achieve. That is what we call Experiencing Innovation,” says Fanny Truchon, President and Business Unit Manager at Creaform.
 
And today, with 26 office locations around the world and 14 new distribution centers opened in the past year, Creaform is in full swing, not only in a niche market, but across the tech industry worldwide, and thus remains very close to its customers, both in terms of human connections and geographic proximity.

Creaform launches latest version of VXintegrity

juin 14, 2023

Industry software
Latest upgrade features a game-changing algorithm that automatically assesses surface damage without the need of human intervention
 
Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, June 14, 2023—Creaform, a business unit of AMETEK, Inc. and the worldwide leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, announced today that it released a new version of VXintegrity TM, its acclaimed solution for surface damage assessments that is accessible to all non-destructive testing (NDT) service companies across multiple sectors.
 
Industry-first new algorithm
 
VXintegrity is a powerful NDT software platform, launched by Creaform last year, that integrates all analytical functions and tools into an intuitive, user-friendly interface for inspection teams and service companies. Composed of four software modules, VXintegrity has been designed specifically to solve the challenges of asset owners in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, oil & gas, power generation and mining.
 
The most significant change is VXintegrity’s game-changing algorithm, which eliminates the need for human interaction to analyze any surface and ensures highly repeatable results. It also removes all the limitations of simpler algorithms, which paves the way to inspection applications on complex components, such as very aggressive double-curvature geometries, elbow pipes, T-joints, valves, advanced nozzles, and boiler tubes. This algorithm is revolutionary for 3D surface assessments as it does not require a CAD model reference or any manual interventions with the data to identify the area of interest.
 
‘’By developing a dedicated NDT software platform, Creaform is showing the world its commitment to the NDT market and willingness to invest in developing the most innovative 3D scanning solution for surface damage assessment. Version 1.1 is in alignment with this commitment. Our newly reconstructed algorithm beats all other approaches on the market,” said François Lachance,  Product Manager at Creaform.


“Since the launch last year, the reception of VXintegrity has been really positive. Many new customers were really impressed by the solution’s performance and agreed that the return on investment of the technologies wouldn’t be too long to achieve,” added Jérome-Alexandre Lavoie, Creaform’s Director of Product Management. “VXintegrity works seamlessly with Creaform’s HandySCAN 3D handheld scanner, which facilitates and accelerates NDT workflows, even in a tight labour market. This is the value Creaform brings to the table: powerful 3D scanners and complete, integrated 3D measurement software.

Creaform Opens New Repair Center to Cover the EMEA Region

février 09, 2023

3D scanner
The new infrastructure will help the company consolidate its position as a world-class manufacturer in terms of quality, service and after-sales.
 
Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, February 9, 2023—Creaform, a business unit of AMETEK, Inc. and worldwide leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, announced today the opening of their new 660-square-meter repair center, next to their France office based in Fontaine (close to Grenoble). This endeavour sends a strong message of support and autonomy for the Creaform community in the EMEA region: the company can now leverage solid calibration and acceptance results locally, and address repairs on the entire Creaform portfolio.
 
With this major investment, the company aims to reduce the time of the repair process, namely in terms of overseas shipping. Partners and end customers of the EMEA territory (Europe, Middle East, Africa) will now benefit from a local service, which will reduce the occasional expedition of their products to the Creaform headquarters in Lévis (Québec), Canada. This translates to an optimisation of handling costs and better control over the RMA process (return merchandise authorization). The repair center will also receive, manage and process Creaform systems coming from India instead of receiving them in Canada, as is the case today.
 
Thanks to the ISO 9001 (July 2022) and ISO 17025 (December 2022) certifications it received, this new center can conduct calibration and acceptance tests locally, on all quality control systems and products throughout the Creaform portfolio. Going forward, all repairs will be done with the same level of service as Creaform HQ. ISO 9001 is the standard that covers the implementation of a quality management system in a given organization while ISO 17025 extends to an organization’s ability to generate reliable results in terms of calibration and testing.
 
Here is an overview of the EMEA repair center’s capabilities and expertise:
 
System Tasks HandySCAN 300/307/700 Repair & calibration HandySCAN BLACK / BLACK Elite Repair & calibration ISO 17025 Go!SCAN 20/50 Repair & calibration Go!SCAN SPARK Repair & calibration C-Track 3rd GEN Repair & calibration ISO 17025 C-Track 4th GEN Repair & calibration ISO 17025 MetraSCAN 350/750 Repair & calibration MetraSCAN BLACK Repair & calibration ISO 17025  
“We have at heart to provide a quality of service at least as good as our systems!” claimed Fanny Truchon, President & Business Unit Manager at Creaform. “We trust these service improvements will prove instrumental in relieving our existing and future EMEA customers from delays and costs associated with the logistics of a point of service located on a whole other continent. This marks the end of a journey that started in February 2021—when we started looking for a suitable site— but also opens an era of simplicity and autonomy for us and our customers in the region,” she concluded.
