FARO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's leading provider of measurement and 3D imaging technology for metrology, plant automation, product design, public safety and BIM / CIM, announces the launch of the FARO® Design ScanArm, a portable 3D scanning solution designed for 3D modeling, back-design and CAD-based design applications for the entire product lifecycle management process. The FARO ScanArm Design will be sold in a promotional pack with 3D Systems® Geomagic® software at a reduced introductory price for a limited time.
The software has several options ranging from automatic meshing software that provides ready-to-use files with no post-processing, to full-featured retro-design software that combines historical-based CAD with 3D digitized data to create "The FARO Design ScanArm has been developed to meet the needs of the product design market," said Simon Raab, President and CEO, Of FARO Technologies. "Combining FARO's advanced 3D scanning technology with the capabilities of 3D Systems' Geomagic software, ScanArm Design provides a turnkey solution that allows users to quickly scan any part of an object, design Or easily modify retro-designed models, create ready-made CAD models for manufacturing, and verify the purpose of designing prototypes.
"The FARO ScanArm Design uses high-end blue laser technology with high scanning speed to provide high-resolution point cloud data and to effortlessly scan demanding materials without the need for sprays or Of targets. The device is very light and manoeuvrable, it can be mounted conveniently on a desk in the design office or design laboratory. The ScanArm Design has a simplified user interface that makes it easy to use, regardless of skill level or the 3D scanning experience of the operator. Simon Raab adds, "With a good understanding of the workflow of our customers, we can ensure that FARO solutions are optimized for the specific requirements of their applications.
As a result, our customers are not forced to pay for functions that bring no added value to their process. It is this technical philosophy that makes it possible to propose the ScanArm Design at an unbeatable price, thus ensuring a rapid return on investment, without cutting down technical capacities. "The FARO Design ScanArm is the ideal 3D scanning solution for any company that may need to manufacture parts without existing CAD models, develop accessories or spare parts that fit perfectly with existing products, retro-design Parts of previous systems for design changes or replacement, create digital libraries to lower storage costs, design aesthetically beautiful freeform surfaces, or improve the performance of rapid prototyping.
