FARO Releases High-Resolution 3D ScanArm for Reverse Engineering and CAD-Based Design Applications
LAKE MARY, Fla., May 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement and imaging solutions for Metrology, Factory Automation, Product Design, Public Safety and BIM/CIM, announces the launch of the FARO® Design ScanArm, a portable 3D scanning solution tailored for 3D modeling, reverse engineering, and CAD-based design applications across the product lifecycle management (PLM) process.

As a limited-time promotional offer, the FARO 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.
"The FARO Design ScanArm was purposefully-engineered to meet the needs of the Product Design market," stated Dr. Simon Raab, President and CEO of FARO Technologies. "By combining FARO's best-in-class 3D scanning technology with 3D System's Geomagic software offerings, the Design ScanArm provides a turnkey solution that allows users to quickly digitize any part or object, easily design or modify reverse engineered models, create manufacturing-ready CAD models, and verify design intent of prototype products."
The FARO Design ScanArm features optically-superior blue laser technology with fast scanning speed to deliver high-resolution point cloud data and the ability to seamlessly scan challenging materials without the need for spray or targets. The device is lightweight and maneuverable for convenient desktop mounting in the design studio or engineering lab. The Design ScanArm features a simplified user interface that makes it easy to operate regardless of skill level or 3D scanning experience.
Dr. Raab added, "Through a deep understanding of our customers' workflows we can ensure that FARO's solutions are optimized for application-specific demands and, as such, our customers are not forced to pay for features that do not add value to their processes. It is this engineering philosophy that allows the Design ScanArm to be aggressively priced for rapid return on investment without sacrificing any required technical capability."
The FARO Design ScanArm is the ideal 3D scanning solution for any organization that may have the need to manufacture parts without existing CAD models, develop aftermarket products that need to fit tightly with existing products, reverse engineer legacy parts for design changes or replacement, create digital libraries to decrease inventory and warehouse costs, design aesthetically pleasing, freeform surfaces, or leverage the power of rapid prototyping.
