:: Scanning & Surfacing - Dependable analysis and testing begins with precision input...

The Auto Research Center is pleased to announce the addition of a FARO Platinum Laser ScanArm to our arsenal of tools. The Laser ScanArm embodies ARC's commitment to cutting-edge technology by being the industry's first ever seven-axis contact / non-contact measurement device with a fully integrated laser scanner.








ARC’s reverse engineering capabilities begin with our fully integrated seven-axis, contact / non-contact scanning system. The portability of the equipment allows us to provide this service at a location convenient to our customers.

This cutting edge technology allows us to collect a dense cloud of points from the surface of any shape, from a small component to a complete tractor-trailer. The system’s accuracy of 0.0005", is ideal for point-to-point contact mapping, which can be used for a variety of purposes.

Using state-of-the-art software, our Surfacing Department can translate this point cloud data into accurate, high quality NURBS surfaces for CAD and CAM applications including digital models for:


  • Visualization & Analysis
  • Rapid Prototyping & 3-D Modeling
  • Manufacturing
  • Inspection

This technology is a tool, which, in the hands of our creative thinkers, and exacting engineers, becomes a performance edge for our customers.

Specs / Features:

  • Scanning up to 13,000 points per second
  • Platinum FaroArm Accuracy of 0.0005”
  • Rapid conversion from point-cloud to watertight polygon and NURBS models
  • Extremely portable; can be used “in-house” or “on-location”
  • Customer driven data density and output formats
