FARO\u00ae Technologies, Inc., the world\u2019s most trusted source for 3D measurement, imaging, and realization technology, announces the release of the new FARO Freestyle3D Handheld Laser Scanner, an easy, intuitive device for use in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC), Law Enforcement, and other industries.
\nThe FARO Freestyle3D is equipped with a Microsoft Surface\u2122 tablet and offers unprecedented real-time visualization by allowing the user to view point cloud data as it is captured. The Freestyle3D scans to a distance of up to three (3) meters and captures up to 88K points per second with accuracy better than 1.5mm. The patent-pending, self-compensating optical system also allows users to start scanning immediately with no warm up time required.
\n\u201cThe Freestyle3D is the latest addition to the FARO 3D laser scanning portfolio and represents another step on our journey to democratize 3D scanning,\u201d stated Jay Freeland, FARO\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cFollowing the successful adoption of our Focus scanners for long-range scanning, we\u2019ve developed a scanner that provides customers with the same intuitive feel and ease-of-use in a handheld device.\u201d
\nThe portability of Freestyle3D enables users to maneuver and scan in tight and hard-to-reach areas such as car interiors, under tables and behind objects making it ideal for crime scene data collection or architectural preservation and restoration activities. Memory-scan technology enables Freestyle3D users to pause scanning at any time and then resume data collection where they left off without the use of artificial targets.
\nMr. Freeland added, \u201cFARO\u2019s customers continue to stress the importance of work-flow simplicity, portability, and affordability as key drivers to their continued use and adoption of 3D laser scanning. We have responded by developing an easy-to-use, industrial grade, handheld laser scanning device that weighs less than 2 lbs.\u201d
\nThe Freestyle3D can be employed as a standalone device to scan areas of interest, or used in concert with FARO\u2019s Focus X 130 \/ X 330 scanners. Point cloud data from all of these devices can be seamlessly integrated and shared with all of FARO\u2019s software visualization tools including FARO SCENE, WebShare Cloud, and FARO CAD Zone packages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
