Faro Laser Scanner
Our Faro arm laser scanner offers excellent accuracy and exceptional speed. While it is nearly as accurate as our blue light inspection scanner, the Faro scanner is able to capture 600,000 data points per second. Additionally, the Faro arm is equipped with an even more accurate touch probe, which can be used to measure the most critical dimensions of your part.
- Exceptional Speed
- Ideal for Large Parts
- Equipped with Touch Probe
- Great for Inspection and Reverse Engineering

Blue Light Inspection Scanner
With accuracy as low as 0.0003″ for an individual scan, blue light scanning is the most accurate technology we offer by an order of magnitude. And because structured light captures individual scans very quickly, it is less susceptible to inaccuracies due to environmental disturbances. We perform the majority of our part inspection work using our blue light scanner.
- Extremely Accurate
- Reliable and Repeatable
- Fast for Smaller Parts
- Ideal for Part Inspection
