The new FARO CAM2 Measure 10.5 is the latest software for the FaroArm, FARO Laser ScanArm and FARO Laser Tracker.

Developed by FARO Technologies, the Scanner Freestyle 3D, complemented with a Microsoft Surface Tablet, scans objects to a distance of three metres and captures up to 88k points per second with an accuracy of 1.5 mm. Weighing less than a kilogramme, the portable handheld scanner not only enables the user to manoeuvre the device to scan hard-to-reach places such as car interiors, but it also allows real-time visualisation of an object by the user through view point cloud data as it is captured. Its memory-scan technology lets users pause and then resume scanning and data collection at any time without requiring artificial targets.
