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.
