Faro Technologies Inc. (Lake Mary, Fla., U.S.), a company that offers 3D measurement, imaging and realization solutions, launches Leap ST, a handheld 3D scanner that expands Faro’s product portfolio.
With multiple operating modes, including large-area scanning and hyper fine scanning, the Leap ST can handle everything from large parts to intricate details, Faro reports.
Leap ST is a metrology-grade tool excelling in measuring and verifying a variety of surfaces and parts. Its versatility and flexibility means users no longer need multiple devices for different tasks, offering a single solution for scanning.
The portability of the Leap ST is key, Faro says, enabling users to measure quickly by bringing it directly to the part, reducing setup time, minimizing preparation and speeding up projects.
An advanced optical configuration reduces the number of targets required, and the integration of blue laser, infrared and photogrammetry technologies, complemented by optical filters, ensures effective scanning across virtually any surface. Moreover, VDI/VDE 2634-certified devices provide confirmation of operator results, offering an advantage in manufacturing quality control.
Faro’s demonstration of Leap ST on a Faro chopper further highlights its ability to scan different materials in one go, including high-gloss paint, chrome, leather and rubber.
During the demo, scanner’s algorithms adapted to tricky surfaces like chrome, delivering high accuracy without excessive noise or distortion.
