Fragile, complex and free-form surfaces can be captured as a dense and detailed 3D point cloud by the FARO® ScanArm and Cobalt Array Imager, allowing users to perform non-contact, 3D inspections with ease.

3D scanning at your fingertips
FARO’s ScanArm and Cobalt Array Imager allows for rapid scanning with an extended field of view where conventional contact inspection methods are not feasible or practical. The Cobalt Array Imager can even be connected in a multi-array configuration to allow for a much wider scanning area to be covered. Data is captured in high definition and detailed 3D point clouds.

Easily measure complex shapes
Non-contact 3D scanning from FARO can digitize features such as flush and gap that are difficult to inspect with contact methods. Complex shapes and difficult-to-access parts can now be easily inspected and verified accurately. Capture seamless information required for precise measurement and accurate inspection of parts on the shop floor.
