What is Faro Scan?

What is Faro Scan?

The FARO Focus3D is a high-speed Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) offering the most efficient method for 3D measurement and 3D image documentation available.

What is a FARO scanner used for?

The FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D creates precise scans of buildings and sites, which in turn enable better planning and quality control. Thanks to the 3D laser scanning technology, the distance measuring error is just ±2mm. Even free-form components can be measured precisely.

Is Faro a lidar scanner?

But FARO Focus Laser Scanners create accurate, complete and photorealistic 3D images of any environment or object in just a few minutes.

What is a 3-D scanner?

A 3-D scanner is an imaging device that collects distance point measurements from a real-world object and translates them into a virtual 3-D object. 3-D scanners are used for creating life-like images and animation in movies and video games. Other applications of 3-D scanning include reverse engineering, prototyping,…

What is 3D laser scanning?

3D Laser Scanning is a non-contact, non-destructive technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light.

What is 3D Scan software?

3D Scanning Software. 3D Scanning is the process of using multiple 2D images or photographs to create a 3D model . For example, Sketchfab users scan their dinners, cars, or even statues in museums. You can do this with a professional-level camera or even your smartphone!

How does a 3D scanner work?

3D Scanners typically use one of three methods: Infrared scanners use infrared or “structured light” to scan an object. Photogrammetry uses photos to triangulate distance and depth and produces a 3D scan with that data. Lidar bounces laser light off an object to gauge distance and depth in order to form a 3D scan.
