INNOVATION REPORT
GO!SCAN SPARK 3D PORTABLE 3D SCANNER

Creaform presents a thoroughly reengineered Go!SCAN 3D: the Go!SCAN SPARK. This third-generation version of
Creaform's patented professional-grade Go!SCAN 3D portable 3D scanner was specifically designed for product
development professionals who need the most efficient portable scanner to capture 3D data of physical objects - anywhere.
The scanner features four inline cameras for faster 3D scanning and colour acquisition. It also features an ergonomic
design that allows for different types of hand positions. The scanner enables full-field dimensional measurements on a wide
array of surfaces and textures for various product development applications.
Main features:
- A powerful tool to accelerate product time-to-market;
- Plug and play: No setup required. Robust positioning using geometry, colour or
targets;
- 4X better resolution: Stunning scan quality with flawless tracking of colour texture
and geometry;
- 3X faster measurement speed and instant workable files: Scanning area featuring
99 stripes that take up to 1,500,000 measurements per second, ultimately cutting
down the time to get usable mesh files, which users can import into 3D modelling
and 3D printing software without post-processing;
- 2X more accurate: Reliable measurements of up to 0.050 mm;
- Intelligent design: The multi-position handle integrates efficient ergonomics through an effective design.

EMISSION ABATEMENT
LOWERS FIBRE FABRICATION
COST BY 20%

Carbon fibre manufacturing requires customdesigned air pollution control solutions for
oven and furnace emission control, which
only adds to the cost of fibre production. Anguil
Environmental developed technologies that not only
keep manufacturers in compliance but also reduce
the cost of fibre processing. Anguil provides fullyintegrated systems for air pollution abatement at
carbon fibre operations located throughout the world.
The company is intimately familiar with the capture,
control and compliance hurdles that processing plants
face with regard to volatile organic compounds,
hydrogen cyanide (HCN), ammonia, silicone, nitrogen
oxides (NOX) and odorous emissions. Anguil designs,
manufactures, services and installs energy-efficient
regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) as well as directfired thermal oxidizers (DFTOs) that are specifically
designed for carbon fibre ovens and furnaces.
The company offers the best environmental
performance documented in this industry with
increased uptime and limited downtime. Its systems
reduce the total plant operating costs by supplying
nearly 20% of the energy required for manufacturing.
Abatement devices also incorporate features that
reduce maintenance and increase process up-time.

PRODUCTION
MULTIMATERIAL-WELDING
FASTENING COMPOSITE MATERIALS

MultiMaterial-Welding is an ultrafast, versatile and resilient fixation
method for lightweight substrates
and multi-material combinations.
Using ultrasonic technology to heat solid
bodies in precisely defined geometric
regions, MultiMaterial-Welding creates a
strong mechanical form-lock connection
between different materials. This allows for several new operations such as
creating a connection between materials, curing adhesives in short times,
or other innovative applications that improve current equivalent processes.
The LiteWWeight technology embraces different technologies for specific
applications:
* LiteWWeight Pin for sandwich structures with a honeycomb or foamed
core;
* LiteWWeight Lotus for fibrous components and surface connection;
* LiteWWeight Slide for metallic insert connection into sandwich panels;
* LiteWWeight zEPP for fast and strong fixation in foamed materials;
* LiteWWeight Wings for fixation in foams via a "MM-Welded" screw.
The benefits of this innovative technology include:
* Fast: Assembly time reduced to a fraction of a second, faster than other
methods;
* Efficient: Material joints without predrilling. Processing steps and time saved;
* Reliable: Proven technology for streamlined, high-quality serial production;
* Flexible: Possibility to install asymmetric/angular joining elements;
* Clean: Disassembly/mechanical destruction allows for material separation
and recycling.
