Special features of FARO Freestyle 2

Maximum flexibility and productivity

The Freestyle 2 from FARO offers you 3D color scan data with outstanding accuracy. The lightweight and compact design, simple and intuitive operation and reliable results make the Freestyle 2 the best solution for 3D documentation challenges. In addition, because the device is laser class 1, it is eye-safe and can be used anywhere without risk.

With the handheld 3D scanner, you can digitally document almost all types of surfaces and environments in no time. Thanks to its light weight and slim design, you have maximum flexibility. You can even scan narrow, hard-to-reach areas where you can't place a tripod with a terrestrial laser scanner. You can also subsequently merge the scan data with images from the FARO Focus3D laser scanner, thus ensuring complete 3D documentation of a scan area.

Architecture and construction

Measure complex structures easily in 3D

Freestyle 2 makes surveying complex structures in construction a breeze. The compact handheld scanner lets you scan even in tight or hard-to-reach areas. You can immediately track the scanned area on the tablet to verify the completeness of the scanned area. After scanning, you can easily transfer the obtained point clouds of the complex installations and surfaces to a PC via SD card for further processing.

Interior design by means of hand-operated scanners

Fast and precise 3D documentation

Due to the enormous scan volume, Freestyle 2 is perfectly suited for detailed surveying of interior spaces. You have never documented rooms as fast, accurate and easy as you do with the Freestyle3D scanner. Even inexperienced users can operate the scanner and gain vest results thanks to the intuitive user interface.

3D scanner for crime scene documentation

Secure all evidence for eternity

The preservation of evidence at crime scenes is a challenge for forensic experts since they have to collect and save information by means of photos and notes. But this approach is very time-consuming.By contrast, 3D scanning a whole crime scene is made within a minimum of time and provides reliable detailed captures that are the perfect basis for investigation and accurate reconstruction of the progression of events.

Digitalization of accident scenes

Captures everything immediately

To capture accident scenes three-dimensionally, police and accident investigators often use the terrestrial laser scanner FARO Focus3D. If you want to capture details and complex structures, FARO Freestyle 2 is an ideal enhancement. With Freestyle 2 you are very flexible and gain a complete 3D documentation. The scanner is immediately ready for scanning and doesn't need any warm-up time. This way, you save time and minimize delays. Afterwards, you can combine the data with the scan results of a Focus3D scanner.

Mode of operation of FARO Freestyle 2

Capture intuitively in 3D

With a distance of 0.4 to 10 meters, you can completely capture objects and their surroundings with the Freestyle 2. You don't even have to attach fiducials for this. Capture a wide variety of objects and structures in color from different angles in the shortest possible time. On your smartphone, you can track which areas you have already captured in real time while scanning. This way, you can't lose any information during data capture.

The captured 3D data (point clouds) are stored on the internal memory, which allows easy data transfer to a PC for further processing. The point clouds are processed using the FARO Scene software. You can then export the data for use in a CAD system, merge the obtained point clouds with other point clouds, or share online with project partners via SCENE WebShare Cloud.

Workflow for 3D documentation

In just 3 steps to success

The workflow with Freestyle 2 is as easy as you think:

Step 1: Scan

Capture the area you want by pointing the Freestyle 2 at the objects you want to scan and, at the touch of a button, capture everything in the scanner's field of view. This allows you to move the handheld scanner around the objects so that you actually scan all the information you want.

Step 2: Process

In the powerful FARO Scene software, you can process your scan results (point clouds) and, if required, combine them with other point clouds that you have previously acquired with a FARO Focus3D laser scanner.

Step 3: Collaborate

To share your processed scan results with colleagues or project partners, for example, you can easily and securely upload the data to WebShare Cloud. You also have the option to assign a password for your project there.
