LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 8, 2016 /CNW/ -- FARO®
(NASDAQ:FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D
measurement and imaging solutions for factory metrology, product
design, construction BIM/CIM, public safety forensics and 3D
solutions and services applications, announces the release of
SCENE 6.1, the next generation of its powerful software for
efficiently processing and managing 3D laser scan data.
For modeling freeform shapes such as statues, equipment,
industrial components and buildings, SCENE 6.1 now offers a fully
integrated meshing tool, eliminating the need for customers to
utilize 3rd party software for such deliverables. Watertight 3D
meshes can be calculated, viewed and exported in various standard
formats, such as .STL, .OBJ, .PLY and .WRL (VRML). Besides a
streamlined workflow and reduced software costs, product designers,
architects, engineers and construction specialists benefit by
meshing scan data in a single software platform. The software
is ideal for users who do not own a CAD system with native point
cloud support and those with 3D-Scan-to-Print applications, such as
printing historical artifacts or fabricating scaled models of
complex infrastructure.
In addition, the newly enhanced SCENE 6.1 user interface
provides 3D scanning specialists with an integrated tool for fully
automating the processing of target-based scan projects. This
functionality increases overall project efficiency within a simple,
straightforward user experience. Added verification steps now
allow users to confirm if a scan registration result is
contextually correct, adding an additional level of confidence to
their data quality. Also, newly printable registration reports in
PDF-format now permit easy project documentation and
monitoring.
"Scan-to-mesh workflows, target-based registration and the use
of survey control has never been as intuitive and simple as with
SCENE 6.1," stated Joe Arezone,
FARO's Chief Commercial Officer. "Thanks to the integration of
SCENE's groundbreaking workflow driven user interface, our
customers can now process their scan data in an even faster, more
reliable and cost-efficient way."
Overall productivity improvements in SCENE 6.1 such as faster
scan processing and a new noise reduction technique reduces user
effort for higher-quality and faster data evaluation. In addition,
new multi-layer overview map functionality gives construction
BIM-CIM professionals the ability to view scan projects by
individual building levels.
