Handheld 3D Laser Scanner meets portability demands.
Press Release Summary:
Equipped with MS Surface™ tablet, Freestyle3D offers real-time visualization by letting user view point cloud data as it is captured. Unit scans at distances up to 3 m and captures up to 88K points/sec with better than 1.5 mm accuracy. While self-compensating optical system allows immediate scanning without requiring any warm up time, memory-scan technology lets users pause scanning at any time and resume where they left off without requiring use of artificial targets.

FARO® Launches FARO Scanner Freestyle(3D) - Innovative and User-Friendly Handheld 3D Laser Scanner to Meet Growing Demand for Portable Scanning
LAKE MARY, Fla. – FARO Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement, imaging, and realization technology, announces the release of the new FARO Scanner Freestyle3D, an easy, intuitive device for use in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC), Law Enforcement, and other industries.
The Freestyle3D is equipped with a Microsoft Surface™ tablet and offers unprecedented real-time visualization by allowing the user to view point cloud data as it is captured. The Freestyle3D scans to a distance of up to three (3) meters and captures up to 88K points per second with accuracy better than 1.5mm. The patent-pending, self-compensating optical system also allows users to start scanning immediately with no warm up time required.
"The Freestyle3D is the latest addition to the FARO 3D laser scanning portfolio and represents another step on our journey to democratize 3D scanning," statedJay Freeland, FARO's President and CEO. "Following the successful adoption of our Focus3D scanners for long-range scanning, we have developed a scanner that provides customers with the same intuitive feel and ease-of-use in a handheld device." The portability of Freestyle3D enables users to maneuver and scan in tight and hard-to-reach areas such as car interiors, under tables and behind objects making it ideal for crime scene data collection or architectural preservation and restoration activities. Memory-scan technology enables Freestyle3D users to pause scanning at any time and then resume data collection where they left off without the use of artificial targets.
Mr. Freeland added, "FARO's customers continue to stress the importance of work-flow simplicity, portability, and affordability as key drivers to their continued use and adoption of 3D laser scanning. We have responded by developing an easy-to-use, industrial grade, handheld laser scanning device that weighs less than 1kg."
The Freestyle3D can be employed as a standalone device to scan areas of interest, or used in concert with FARO's Focus3D X 130 / X 330 scanners. Point cloud data from all of these devices can be seamlessly integrated and shared with all of FARO's software visualization tools including FARO SCENE, WebShare Cloud, and FARO CAD Zone packages.
