– technology it says that is designed to transform the way manufacturing, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), law enforcement, and other industries document 3D data through easy to use and intuitive data acquisition.
With the release of the Freestyle3D X, the company's portfolio now contains two advanced, handheld scanners that are designed to help customers increase productivity, save time and make effective, data-driven decisions.
The Freestyle3D X incorporates state of the art scanning technology that delivers enhanced scanning accuracy of 1mm at a 1m range. The scanner is available with a US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable calibration accessory to provide users with verifiable data accuracy, which is critical for forensic scanning and other highly regulated industries. Onsite calibration data is exportable in PDF format, allowing information to be easily shared with other team members.
The Freestyle3D X also incorporates an automatic flash mode enabling users to scan objects in a variety of lighting conditions. New software tools deliver a detailed visualisation of the created 3D point cloud and an integrated best point filter enhances the quality of the scan data by reducing noise up to 35%. Finally, post-processing functions have also been improved, offering up to 5x faster data writing speed to further improve productivity on the job site.
The Freestyle can be employed as a standalone device or used in concert with Faro Focus3D X Series Laser Scanners. Point cloud data from all devices can be integrated seamlessly – even in greyscale.
“The Freestyle3D X sets the industry standard for ease of use and verifiable accuracy among professional, portable scanning devices,” states Joe Arezone, senior vice president and managing director Faro Asia and EMEA.
“The new features, such as automatic flash mode, best point filter and new algorithms decisively enhance the overall scanning experience and enable users to carry out more projects with better quality at the same time. Moreover, the new Freestyle3D X will allow the most demanding users to achieve better accuracy in their projects.”
With the introduction of the Freestyle3D X to its portfolio, Faro says it continues its role as a technology innovator for customers – helping them work faster, more effectively and save money in the process.
