Application Case | Digitally mapping a 570m² UNESCO World Heritage site
AGP had carried out 3D coordinate mapping projects on almost 400 buildings in Europe when they accepted a new challenge in 2008: to create 3D plans required for restoration of the World Heritage Site Abbey of Mont Saint Michel (France) – in less than 3 months!

Photon now with robust SSD
Faster data access through modern technology
All FARO Laser Scanner Photon units now feature a 64GB Solid-state drive (SSD). The SSD is the latest state of the art computer storage device consisting of memory chips instead of rotating magnetic discs and moving read/write heads and is much faster and due to the lack of mechanical parts more robust.
Video | Reconstructing vehicular rollovers with the FARO Laser Scanner
Gilbert Engineering, one of the leading vehicle stability and accident reconstruction firms, has extensively tested vehicle safety and the minor modifications that can make certain models safer and less prone to roll. Having spent more than 10 years completing accident reconstructions, founder Micky Gilbert has established himself as an expert in the field, due in part to his commitment to employing cutting-edge technology in order to complete inspections.
Video | How laser scanning helps improving the sound of sports cars
This video features a German exhaust supplier for sports cars. It shows how ‘Capristo Exhaust’ first scan the underneath of the car to capture the 3D data which they require for their computer based development process.
They can then perfect the way a sports car sounds.
White Paper | Alternative to Check Fixtures
By utilizing modular tooling fixtures and portable CMMs, manufacturers can eliminate the need for many or all check fixtures in their factories. The solution pays for itself as soon as a check fixture that would normally need to be built, is no longer required. In addition, the modular tooling and portable CMM solution eliminates the need for storage, maintenance and rework costs for check fixtures not currently in use.
FARO at ISPRS | 22-24 June, Newcastle
FARO will be sponsoring the ISPRS Commission V symposium on Close Range Image Measurement Techniques which will be taking place in Newcastle from 22nd – 24th June 2010.
The 2010 Symposium will have technical sessions to cover all of the Commission V Working Groups and the Inter-commission Working Groups, providing a world class opportunity to share experiences and meet with researchers, academics and industry partners.
Application Case | Automotive supplier uses 2 Laser Tracker for large volume measurement
TSAsolutions specialises in ultra-modern solutions for the automotive industry. They used to bring most of the heavy and large components and equipment to the testing machines. In contrast, they now take the small and mobile instruments straight to the parts to be measured; as a result they can save on effort, labour costs, expenditure, personnel and transport facilities.
Webinar: Scan Registration – Methods, Tools and Workflows | 1st July
We invite you to join our webinar: Scan Registration – Methods, Tools and Workflows on Thursday 1st July at 02:00PM (GMT).
In this webinar we will present different ways to align scan positions to each other (this is called ‘registration’). Topics like local registration, geo-referencing and automatic target identification will be discussed in detail.
Additionally we will introduce methods to increase the efficiency of the scanning process on-site as well as the registration in the office. This will be linked with explanations on various kinds of reference targets and their pros and cons.
