Faro announces the release of the new Portable Faro Freestyle 3D Laser Scanner, a simple and intuitive device for architecture, engineering and construction (AIC), forensic research and other sectors.
The Freestyle 3D is equipped with a Microsoft Surface tablet and allows the user to see the data from points clouds as they were captured, hence a unique real-time visualization. It can scan up to a distance of three metres and capture up to 88,000 points per second with accuracy greater than 1.5 mm. The patent-pending optical self-compensation system also allows the user to start scanning immediately without preheating.
"The Freestyle 3D is the latest addition to Faro's family of 3D laser scanners. It represents a new step in our goal of democratizing 3D digitization,says Jay Freeland, President and CEO of Faro. Building on the success of our Focus 3D scanners in long-range scanning, we have developed a scanner that provides our customers with the same intuitiveness and ease of use in a portable device. »
Its portability allows users to maneuver and scan in cramped and hard-to-reach locations such as car interiors, under tables or behind objects, making it an ideal tool for collecting data at crime scenes or for architectural preservation and restoration. Scanning memory technology allows 3D Freestyle users to pause scanning at any time and resume data collection where it was interrupted without using artificial targets.
