An advanced metrology-grade handheld 3D scanner featuring five operating modes
Leap ST is an advanced handheld 3D metrology solution. A compact, high accuracy scanner with five operating modes, Leap ST offers versatility and portability that benefits various workflows and industries, from aerospace and automotive to transportation equipment and metals fabrication and more.
The five modes include: Ultra-fast scanning for fast coverage to measure part features for small to medium parts, Hyper fine scanning for capturing details of complex objects with maximum resolution , Photogrammetry to maintain best accuracy over large sized objects , Deep hole scanning for maximum allowable depth with hard-to-reach areas and deep holes , and Large-area scanning ideal for capturing large features that need to be inspected, or when a first rough scan of a medium to large part is required.
Benefit of FARO Leap ST Handheld 3D Scanner
Fast Setup, Accurate Results
Save time and increase confidence in your results with the ability to scan a wide variety of parts and assemblies. With less time needed to prepare the part before scanning and to restore it to its original pre-preparation state, users can scan more parts faster, leading to greater throughput.
Maximum Versatility
The five operating modes allow for the measuring of larger parts, as well as complex, harder-to-access features like deep holes and fine details common in an engine chassis, eliminating the need to use additional metrology devices, getting more done with the same system. The scanner is directly compatible with leading metrology software but can also be used with the available software development kit (SDK) for integration into your own software or automated measurement system.
Scan Faster
The optical configuration allows for large target interdistance, saving you time applying targets to your parts. The seamless switch between operating modes enables users to continuously capture exactly what is needed without pausing the scan and go back to the computer.
Trust Your Results
All Leap ST handheld 3D scanners meet the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. Certified according to the rigorous VDI/VDE 2634 standard, Leap ST ensures precise measurements that you can trust. Backed by ISO 17025-compliant accredited calibration laboratories, this cutting-edge technology guarantees traceable and repeatable results.
Short Learning Curve
Leap ST’s software integration means that there’s a minimal learning curve. The product is capable of scanning into FARO CAM2 Scan Professional Software, part of the CAM2 Editions Software portfolio. It is also compatible with other leading metrology software. Whichever software platform is selected, users have the flexibility to inspect parts in their preferred environment, avoiding additional costs of training and maintenance and reducing the need for differentiated skill sets.
Applications of FARO Leap ST Handheld 3D Scanner
In-Process Parts Inspection
Identifying errors further upstream in the manufacturing process is key to reducing rework, waste, scrap and the need to monitor that production processes are still within tolerance. With fewer targets to place, faster scanning, and industry-leading measurement technology, users will be able to reduce downtime and gain intelligence on process trends. Not just knowing when a part or a machine is out of tolerance, but when it’s heading in that direction. The possibility to integrate Leap ST into an automated metrology solution allows production managers to enable an automated monitoring of their process.
Final Inspection
Whether it’s a car, a boat, an airplane turbine, or any medium-to-large part, scan to ensure quality control and to make certain that all parts are within tolerance. Leap ST allows users, whether manual or automated, to close the inspection loop faster and move to the next project with ease, saving time and money.
Reverse Engineering
Intricate and complex shapes are hard to design or inspect without scan data. What’s more, existing parts may not have a digital history to re-use for design purposes, delaying the development process and go-to-market. With Leap ST, intricate shapes can be 3D scanned with minimal setup and capturing time, allowing data to be used for reverse engineering or CAD modeling, accelerating time to market.
