Structured Light 3D Scanner for Industrial Design
Professionals
LAKE MARY, Fla., July 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- FARO® (NASDAQ:FARO), the world's most trusted
source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for 3D Design
announces the availability of the Cobalt Design™
structured light scanner product family. Structured light scanning
technology uses projected light patterns with a camera system to
capture large areas at once and, as a result, significantly reduces
data capture time and delivers quicker results.
Cobalt Design™
(https://www.faro.com/cobalt-design/) , combined with the
recently introduced RevEng™ software
platform, delivers a one stop, comprehensive digital
design solution where small to medium objects can be scanned with
precision, in color with multiple levels of resolution. It is
the first color structured light scanner from FARO specifically
developed for design applications and is ideal for scanning complex
surfaces, especially highly detailed organic shapes. Cobalt
Design™ addresses a variety of design
requirements, including reverse engineering, prototype design,
packaging design, digital cataloging and even jewelry and fashion
design.
Workflow Acceleration
Cobalt Design™
enables design professionals to set up scan parameters once and
then proceed to scan similar objects with the push of a button.
Furthermore, several pre-configured scanned and meshing settings
are available by default. This in turn translates to less time per
scan position, more scans per day and faster completion of scan
projects. Additionally, it ensures that results are repeatable and
reliable.
Full Field Scanning
The integrated, rotational axis
dramatically improves the 3D scanning process and maximizes
comprehensive scanning coverage. The scan object/part itself is
placed in fixed position on the axis and then the axis can be set
to automatically rotate up to 360 degrees as it is being
scanned.
Best in Class Speed to Accuracy Combination
Cobalt
Design™ captures millions of 3D measurement points in
as little as one second with up to 3.1Mpx accuracy for small to
medium complex objects.
Full Color Digitization
Precise and high quality
textured scans can be captured in color and delivered as realistic
images that enable even more detailed representations of geometric
surfaces and finishing in true to life 3D color.
"The introduction of Cobalt
Design™ together with the
recently announced RevEng™ software platform
reinforces our commitment to be the market and thought leadership
for 3D data capture solutions across a variety of design- centric
industries and applications," stated Thorsten Brecht, Senior Director, 3D Design. "We
have elevated the 3D structured light paradigm by paralleling the
development of both hardware and software, so users are able to
leverage every ounce of advanced functionality of both technologies
in concert."
