LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- 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, introduces
the FARO Freestyle3D Objects, a new medium-volume,
handheld 3D Laser Scanner for crime/crash scene investigation and
reverse engineering applications.
With the new powerful Freestyle3D Objects, FARO
expands the successful product concept of its construction BIM/CIM
Freestyle3D Scanner Series to the growing and fast
moving product design and public safety forensics markets.
"Working with our customers, FARO identified an unaddressed need
for a scanner that provides fast, color and detailed scan data
without the frustration of constantly losing tracking, sticking
external targets on the parts or the time required to manually
register the point clouds," stated Joe
Arezone, FARO's Chief Commercial Officer. "Featuring a
midrange measurement volume, the Freestyle3D Objects is
the answer – easier to use than narrow field-of-view scanners that
have high resolution but are difficult to handle as the tracking is
easily lost, yet provides more detail and precision than large
volume handheld scanners."
The balanced approach of detail and ease of use makes the
Freestyle3D Objects ideally suited for a number of
challenging measurement applications including reverse engineering
for product design and crime/crash scene investigation in public
safety forensics. With a scan range of 0.3 to 0.8 meters,
FARO Freestyle3D Objects is optimized for scanning
mid-sized components and items in almost every industry. Whether
the goal is to capture industrial pump and wind generation
components, molded plastic items or documenting the inside of a
vehicle as part of a crash or crime scene investigation, FARO
Freestyle3D Objects scans the needed geometry into a
high resolution color point cloud. Once the object has been
measured, the user receives the data prepared in SCENE Process 6.1,
offering a large scale meshing tool, or the user can export the
data into many end user applications.
FARO Freestyle3D Objects is the first 3D handheld
scanner solution that FARO is introducing to the Early Adopter (EA)
community. FARO's EA Program provides leading edge products to
qualified customers for limited product introductions. Sign up for
