FARO DESIGN 3.5 Metre ScanArm

The FARO Design ScanArm is a portable 3D scanning solution designed for 3D modelling, reverse engineering and CAD-based design applications across the product lifecycle management (PLM) process.

By combining FARO’s 3D scanning technology with 3D design and modelling software, the Design ScanArm provides a practical solution that enables users to digitise parts or objects, design or modify reverse engineered models, create manufacturing-ready CAD models and verify design intent of prototype products.

The Design ScanArm is the ideal solution for organisations that may need to manufacture parts without existing CAD models, develop aftermarket products that need to fit with existing products, reverse engineer legacy parts for design changes or replacement, create digital libraries to decrease inventory and warehouse costs, design freeform surfaces or make use of rapid prototyping.

High-Resolution Data

Uses blue laser technology to capture detailed and noise-free scan data.

Rapid Scanning Speed

An extra wide scan stripe and fast frame rate provide extended laser coverage for fast point cloud capture.

Lightweight and Manoeuvrable

Built for convenient desktop use in design studios or engineering labs.

No Targets or Spray Required

Software algorithms enable scanning across challenging materials regardless of contrast, reflectivity or part complexity.

Simple User Interface

Designed for easy operation regardless of skill level or 3D scanning experience.

Hard Probing Capabilities

Utilise both high-resolution 3D scanning and high-precision probing of basic geometry.

Benefits

- Reduced scan times

- Simplified user experience

- Scan across diverse surface materials without any special surface preparation or target placement

- High scan rate of up to 500,000 points/second

Ideal Applications

Reverse Engineering

Digitise legacy parts to support design changes, replacements, incorporation into new designs, or to perform competitive analysis.

CAD Reconstruction

Create manufacturing-ready CAD files for parts that are broken, lost, or unavailable.

Aftermarket Products

Scan OEM parts to assist the efficient design of aftermarket products in CAD based directly on the geometry of the mating part.

Modification of Production Tooling

Capture the as-built condition of complex tools and moulds to update the tooling required to support a new model or variant, or to reproduce or relocate an assembly line.

Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO)

Carry out wear and tear analysis and create as-built documentation on parts and tooling prior to maintenance, and produce custom-fit replacements for critical repairs.

Digital Archiving and Engineering Documentation

Create digital libraries to reduce inventory and warehouse costs, enabling parts to be reproduced as needed in the future.

Industrial Design / Clay Modelling

Digitise complex, organic or challenging shapes for quick iterations to design aesthetically pleasing and functional freeform surfaces.

3D Printing / Rapid Prototyping

3D scan data can be used to produce a watertight, 3D printable mesh or scale model for direct use with a 3D printer.
