ScanArm can be bundled with several of 3D System’s® Geomagic® software packages including Geomagic Wrap and Geomagic Design X reverse engineering package. The FARO Design ScanArm’s system precision is 100 μm. Point capture rate is up to 500 K pts/sec. Other features include a scan width range of 80-150 mm, point resolution range of 40-75 μm, field of view (FOV) depth of 115 mm, and probing precision of 75 μm.
In less than 30 years, forensic measurement methods have evolved from using tape measures to total stations, and now 3D laser scanners. So, what is a laser scanner and why should you, as a crime or crash scene investigator, use one? A laser scanner allows an investigator to capture an accurate, 360-degree digital model of a crash or crime scene, in the form of millions of X,Y,Z data points. You can use these data points, called a ”point cloud,“ to create diagrams and obtain exact measurements of anything that was in the laser’s path and review it, years after the scene was scanned.
In today’s technical marketplace, there is a constant need for gathering 3D data on parts, products and environments. Whether it’s small machined parts requiring precision diameters, alignment of large equipment or setting up machine tools, or even documenting entire buildings and environments 3D measurement data can help companies make more informed decisions and produce better quality products.
Read this whitepaper to explore the basics of 3D measurement including basic measurement principles, the concept of coordinate systems, projection planes, geometric solving methods and the ease of reporting data.

Many industries, including automotive and aerospace, must precisely measure the three dimensional features of large objects. An increasingly popular way to do this is with a laser tracker.
Laser trackers accuracy and speed distinguish them from other portable coordinate measuring instruments. Because an operator can make rapid measurements with a minimum of advance preparation, trackers are among the most versatile of the coordinate measuring instruments. Tracker software analyzes data and presents the results in a useful form. Trackers are becoming increasingly popular, especially for large scale manufacturing, where they assist in every stage of the manufacturing process.
