Scanner LS is a portable, computerized measurement device that
creates a high-resolution, 3-D, digital "photograph" by scanning
everything in its 360-degree path up to 76m away. It collects
120,000 points per second with up to 3mm accuracy while the
system's laptop computer recreates and records all of the object's
3-D measurements. The captured data can then be used to create a
digital model, or to perform evaluation and analysis against an
existing model for anything requiring highly detailed 3-D
measurements, including factory planning, building-information
modeling - as well as specialized applications ranging from land
surveying, recreating accident sites and crime scenes, to digitally
preserving historical sites. About FARO With approximately 12,500
