Agenda

Laser Scanning with FARO

About FARO

FARO is the world’s most trusted source for 3D measurement technology. The Company develops and markets computer-aided measurement and imaging devices

and software.

Products Include •  Articulating Measurement Arms: Edge / Gage •  Laser Trackers: Vantage •  Laser Scanners: Focus3D •  Software: CAM2 / SCENE

Type of digitization that uses laser systems to capture data without touching the part. •  Includes white and blue light systems, as well as

laser line probes, used with portable CMM’s. •  We will focus on those types of probes that can be

used in tandem with an articulated arm (e.g. Laser Line Probes (LLPs)

Laser Scanning with FARO

How Scanning Works •  A Laser Line Probe (LLP), a non-contact scanner,

attached to a seven-axis FaroArm

•  Laser projects a line onto object surface

•  Camera determines the location for each point along the stripe

•  Points are rendered in a point cloud

Laser Scanning with FARO

Laser Scanning with FARO A scan with an LLP will produce a point cloud, which is just a large 3D group of points that correspond to the geometry measured. •  Point clouds can be exported to CAD and turned into models •  They can also be used for inspection

The World’s First “Smart” Arm

•  Integrates seamlessly with Geomagic SPARK

•  Integrated touch screen and operating system

•  Wireless connectivity

•  Lightweight LLP (2.7 oz)

•  Fast data capture: 45,000 points per second

FARO Edge ScanArm

The LLP

(1) Laser Emitter

(2) Camera

(3) Calibration Plate

FARO Edge ScanArm

Non-Contact Inspection Inspect soft, deformable or complex shapes; perform cloud-to-CAD comparison, rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, and 3D modeling

First Article Inspection Easily measure and compare prototype parts to nominal data

CAD-Based Inspection Measure directly against CAD data; see real-time deviations from nominal

Reverse Engineering Digitize a part or object to create a fully-surfaced CAD model
