Scanning Technology
The FARO Leap ST uses blue-laser 3D scanning to capture detailed surface geometry.

Different scanning modes allow the operator to select the appropriate balance between scanning speed and resolution. This makes the system suitable for both larger surfaces and areas requiring finer geometric detail.

Applications

The FARO Leap ST Handheld Laser 3D Scanner is suitable for:
Industrial 3D inspection
Dimensional inspection
Quality control
Reverse engineering
CAD reconstruction
Manufacturing inspection
Automotive inspection
Aerospace components
Mechanical components
Mold and tooling inspection
Product development
Prototype inspection
Research and development
3D documentation
Surface comparison

Reverse Engineering
The Leap ST can capture detailed three-dimensional geometry that can be processed into digital models for reverse engineering and CAD reconstruction.

This allows manufacturers and engineers to digitize existing components and use the resulting 3D data for design modification, replacement-part development, dimensional analysis, or manufacturing preparation.

Quality Control & Inspection
For inspection applications, the scanner can capture the physical geometry of a component and generate 3D data suitable for comparison with CAD or reference geometry.

Typical applications include:
Dimensional verification
First-article inspection
Manufacturing quality control
Surface deviation analysis
Part-to-CAD comparison
Mold inspection
Tooling verification
Assembly inspection
