Reverse Engineering Using Laser Scanning

This month FARO presented a webinar on reverse engineering using laser scanning. This adopted technology has become routine for rapid prototyping and CAD comparison. Because laser scanning captures free form surfaces with using point clouds, the data is extremely reliable. The usage of checking fixtures is becoming a process of the past. The cost of maintaining these fixtures as well as storing both play in favor to convert to laser scanning.

With the FARO Laser Scanner Photon, reverse engineering parts is not limited to only small or medium sized components. With a range of 395ft, the Photon is capable of capturing large scaled objects such as castings, trucks, yachts and even structures. The flexibility and speediness of the Photon allows users to gather the data in hard to reach areas and process the scans within the same day. Manufacturing can benefit greatly by implementing 3D laser scanning into the process.
