Creaform USA Inc.

Creaform USA Inc., a subsidiary of Ametek Inc., supplies portable 3D measurement and scanning hardware, software, and maintenance services to the Department of Defense, NASA, and civilian agencies as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The company, based in Berwyn, Pennsylvania, competes predominantly on sole-source and competitive unrestricted procurements, not set-asides, and operates across NAICS categories centered on computer peripheral equipment manufacturing (24 awards) and research and development services (9 awards).

Creaform's concrete capability portfolio centers on handheld and portable 3D scanning systems—the HandyScan product line, MetraSCAN CMM multi-sensor systems, and photogrammetric hardware add-ons such as MAXSHOT—paired with calibration certification programs (CCP), care plans, maintenance services, software licensing, and personnel training. Representative prime work includes a $69,805 delivery of a HandyScan Black+ Elite portable 3D scanner to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) in August 2025, a $502,750 purchase order from Air Force Test Center for two MetraSCAN CMM systems delivered to Arnold Air Force Base in October 2023, a $96,940 sole-source award from Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center for a HandySCAN BLACK system used for dimensional accuracy and additive manufacturing quality control in February 2024, and a $154,297 delivery of 3D HandyScan with accessories to Air Forces Europe and Africa in September 2022. Maintenance and renewal contracts represent substantial recurring revenue—examples include a $47,472 Continuous Calibration Program (CCP) renewal for HandyScan Black Elite units at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division (September 2025) and a $38,426 customer care plan for MetraSCAN 750 at Ogden Air Logistics Complex (November 2023).

Customer concentration clusters around Department of Defense and NASA. The top five customer organizations account for 51% of awards. Naval Sea Systems Command leads by volume (15 awards, $730 thousand combined potential value), followed by NASA Shared Services Center (9 awards, $512 thousand), Naval Air Systems Command/Naval Air Warfare Center (7 awards, $429 thousand), Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex (7 awards, $62 thousand), and Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pittsburgh (6 awards, $68 thousand). The two rankings converge tightly—NAVSEA and NASA Shared Services dominate both counts and dollars—indicating consistent high-value customer relationships with Navy and NASA engineering centers rather than fragmented small orders.

Prime awards account for 75% of recent activity; Creaform subcontracts under defense primes including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (Advanced Technology Support Program work on microelectronics capability solutions for aircraft systems and the RACER 2.0 initiative), Fluor Marine Propulsion (Naval Nuclear Laboratory management and operations, with multiple modifications adding HandyScan and related measurement equipment), HII Mission Technologies Corp (Special Projects and Operational Testing for Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City), Sierra Nevada Company (Survivable Airborne Operations Center computer components), and BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services (Instrumentation Range Support Program III). Sub-award activity shows Creaform supplying scanning hardware and onsite training to Deloitte Consulting on submarine workforce and industrial base initiatives and to University of Dayton on engineering research programs.

Activity has grown year over year from 5 awards in 2022 to 19 in 2024, with 12 awards in 2025 and 3 in the first quarter of 2026. The vendor serves 36 distinct customer agencies across 87 total awards (prime and sub combined) worth $3.9 million in combined potential value. Only 1 award valued at $24 thousand reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, reflecting minimal recompete cliff exposure. Most contracts are purchase orders with long performance periods—care plans and CCP renewals extending three to five years—that secure recurring revenue without new competitive solicitations. Creaform's parent company Ametek Inc. also holds separate federal prime contracts and grant awards, enabling corporate-level teaming and procurement flexibility that extends beyond Creaform's standalone footprint.
