FARO Laser Scanner Software

SCENE 5.0

Processing and managing scanned data both efficiently and easily by using the automatic object recognition, scan registration and positioning, SCENE is specifically designed for use with all of FARO's large-volume laser scanners. Combining ease-of-use, networking, and an enhanced 3D experience to deliver a complete scan processing solution, SCENE has the ability to generate high-quality,colorized data very quickly, while providing the tools for automated target-less scan positioning.

Once SCENE has prepared the scan data, you can commence evaluation and further processing right away. Thus you have a whole series of easy-to-use functions at your disposal – from simple measuring to 3D visualization through to meshing and exporting into various point cloud and CAD formats.

Scan projects can now be published on a web server by the push of a button. The new Web-Share allows to share your scanning projects over the internet. Provide intuitive access for your customers and partners andprvide them the possiblility and even do simple measurements or add additional information and hyperlinks to a scan.

  • Project Point cloud
    This feature helps to seamlessly meld together multiple scans to form a single, complete point
    cloud which offers a simple visualisation and navigation with a minimum of loading time.
  • NEW - automatic fine registration
    The new automatic fine registration, a new cloud-to-cloud enhancement that reduces
    or removes the need for the placement of artificial targets in many scanning applications,
    and significantly reduces post-processing time.
  • NEW - Integrated Project Database
    This new addition seamlessly stores project information and a step-by-step history of each
    scanning project. Users may now return to any step in a scanning database, quickly and easily,
    no matter where they may be in their process.
  • 3D Stereo Viewing
    The stereoscopic visualization allows users to view their scans on 3D-enabled monitors. The result
    is an added level of detail, and a heightened sense of realism found in major motion pictures.
  • ASTM E57 industry standard
    Through this manufacturer-independent binary data exchange format users may import and
    export scanning data regardless of the specific product used to capture it.
  • Support of 64-Bit systems
  • Efficient workflow from the original data acquisition to the finished project
  • Minimal manual post-processing editing required thanks to automatic scan processing
  • Simple and easy to learn
  • New project database aenables enhanced levels of networking between users
  • Interfaces to numerous industryspecific software products

 

tl_files/faro-laser-scanner-photon-120-20/software/cloud.jpgSCENE LT is a free viewer that enables the professional user to view existing FARO scans and workspaces. It is able to import CAD models in VRML format in order to compare them with the scan points.

Features
  • Simple and easy to learn user interface with tabbed windows, the new dockable structure view, well structured menus and tool bars allow you to use SCENE LT with less learning effort and provide more efficiency at the same time
  • Measurement tools as well as 2D and 3D visualization for immediate scan analysis
  • Draw-To-CAD together with FARO Cloud for AutoCAD provides a real time link to AutoCAD based applications
  • Fully utilizes shared laser scan data loaded from a SCENE Web-Share server
  • Interfaces to numerous industry-specific software products
  • Support of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. Both, in 32-Bit and 64-Bit systems
  • Free of cost software to be shared with customers and partners

tl_files/faro-laser-scanner-photon-120-20/software/record.jpgThis AutoCAD add-on software allows to process 3D laser scan data using the standard 2D and 3D functionality available in AutoCAD 2004-2011. When working within an AutoCAD 2011 installation, FARO CLOUD will exploit the outstanding performance of AutoCAD’s point cloud platform. In case of AutoCAD 2010 or earlier, FARO Cloud will provide its unique PTC engine for point cloud handling.

Orbit and zooming functionality, as well as the ability to hide and show parts of the point cloud provide a simple and transparent method of 3D navigation. As-built documentation of industrial structures, historic buildings, sculptures and more can be recorded. It is possible to augment the resulting point cloud or combine it with other information such as CAD drawings, photos and floor plans.

Features
  • Visualization of point clouds within AutoCAD
  • Clipping and slicing features
  • Use all standard CAD functionality together with 3D laser scanner data
  • Draw-To-CAD provides a real time link to SCENE or SCENE LT
  • Fit CAD objects into point clouds (lines, planes and cylinders – PRO version only)
