APPLICATIONS OF FARO LEAP ST HANDHELD 3D SCANNER
🔹In-Process Parts Inspection
Detecting errors early in the manufacturing process is crucial to minimizing rework, waste, and scrap while ensuring production remains within tolerance. With fewer targets to place, faster scanning, and industry-leading measurement technology, Leap ST helps reduce downtime and provides valuable insights into process trends—not just identifying when a part or machine is out of tolerance, but predicting when it’s approaching that point. Its seamless integration into automated metrology solutions empowers production managers with real-time process monitoring for greater efficiency and control.
🔹Final Inspection
From cars and boats to airplane turbines and other medium-to-large parts, Leap ST ensures precise quality control and verifies that all components meet tolerance requirements. Whether used manually or in an automated workflow, it accelerates the inspection process, enabling users to move seamlessly to the next project—saving both time and costs.
🔹Reverse Engineering
Designing and inspecting intricate, complex shapes is challenging without accurate scan data. Additionally, many existing parts lack a digital history for reuse in design, slowing development and time to market. Leap ST enables fast, precise 3D scanning with minimal setup, providing high-quality data for reverse engineering or CAD modeling—streamlining workflows and accelerating product launch.
