Faro Design ScanArm supports reverse engineering and CAD-based design

The Faro Design ScanArm portable 3D scanning solution has been developed for 3D modelling, reverse engineering and CAD-based design applications.

As a limited-time promotional offer, the Design ScanArm will be bundled with 3D System’s Geomagic software at a reduced launch price. The available software options have capabilities that range from an automatic meshing software that delivers ready-to-use files without any post-processing, to a full-featured reverse engineering software that combines history-based CAD with 3D scan data to create feature-based, editable solid models compatible with all major CAD platforms.

Faro says the combination of ScanArm and software provides a turnkey solution that allows users to digitise parts, reverse engineer models, create manufacturing-ready CAD models and verify prototypes. ScanArm features blue laser technology with fast scanning speeds to deliver high resolution point cloud data and the ability to scan challenging materials, without the need for spray or targets, says the company.
