Creaform, the worldwide leader in portable 3D measurement solutions and engineering services, today announced that is has invested one million dollars in a brand-new calibration, repair and technical support center.
Located near Narita International Airport and just 90 minutes from downtown Tokyo, this high-tech and environmentally controlled 400 m2 facility will allow Creaform to provide more localized support and provide faster response times for customers in Japan and throughout Asia-Pacific.

This is the next logical step in our market development initiatives and ambitious plan for our leadership position in Asia.”
