Freestyle 2 Handheld Scanner – FARO Technologies Inc.
LAKE MARY, Fla. — FARO Technologies Inc., a global supplier of 3D measurement, imaging, and realization solutions for architecture, engineering & construction (AEC), 3D metrology, and public safety analytics, released the Freestyle 2 Handheld Scanner for Construction. This fast, portable, and targeted 3D data capture device can scan even the tightest spaces more easily than ever.
As-built documentation of tight spaces, such as mechanical rooms, interstitial spaces, or above ceilings, can be challenging with tripod scanners. Often, there is not enough space to setup a tripod or enough room to scan the equipment from different locations. Moreover, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems are often intertwined, making it challenging to get a comprehensive picture using a tripod scanner. Additionally, pipes and ducts can obstruct other systems creating shadows in the point cloud resulting in incomplete data.
