The new FARO Freestyle3D X incorporates
state-of-the-art scanning technology that delivers enhanced
scanning accuracy of 1 millimeter at a 1-meter range. The
Freestyle3D X is available with a U.S. National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable calibration
accessory to provide users with verifiable data accuracy, which is
critical for forensic scanning and other highly regulated
industries. On-site calibration data is exportable in PDF format,
allowing information to be easily shared with other team
members.
The Freestyle3D X also incorporates an automatic
flash mode enabling users to scan objects in a variety of lighting
conditions. New software tools deliver an intensely detailed
visualization of the created 3D point cloud, and an integrated
best-point filter enhances the quality of the scan data by reducing
noise up to 35%. Finally, post-processing functions have also
been improved, offering up to 5x faster data writing speed to
further improve productivity on the job site.
The Freestyle3D X can be employed as a standalone
device or used in concert with FARO Focus3D X Series
Laser Scanners. Point cloud data from all devices can be integrated
seamlessly – even in grey scale.
"The Freestyle3D X sets the industry standard for
ease-of-use and verifiable accuracy among professional, portable
scanning devices," stated Joe
Arezone, Senior Vice President and Managing Director FARO
Asia and EMEA. "The new features
such as automatic flash mode, best point filter and new algorithms
decisively enhance the overall scanning experience and enable users
to carry out more projects with better quality at the same time.
Moreover, the new Freestyle3D X will allow the most
demanding users to achieve better accuracy in their projects."
With the introduction of the Freestyle3D X to its
portfolio, FARO continues its role as a technology innovator for
customers – helping them work faster, more effectively and save
money in the process. FARO is dedicated to offering a full range of
innovative and user-friendly handheld scanners to allow customers
