FARO^® Leap ST^® Handheld 3D Scanner

Fast Setup, Accurate Results – Save time and increase confidence in your results with the ability to scan a wide variety of parts and assemblies. With less time needed to prepare the part before scanning and to restore it to its original pre-preparation state, users can scan more parts faster, leading to greater throughput.

Maximum Versatility – Leap ST is designed to adapt to your growing needs with maximum versatility. The five operating modes allow for the measuring of larger parts, as well as complex, harder-to-access features like deep holes and fine details common in an engine chassis, eliminating the need to use additional metrology devices, getting more done with the same system. The scanner is directly compatible with leading metrology software but can also be used with the available software development kit (SDK) for integration into your own software or automated measurement system.

Scan Faster – The optical configuration allows for large target interdistance, saving you time applying targets to your parts. The seamless switch between operating modes enables users to continuously capture exactly what is needed without pausing the scan and go back to the computer.

Trust Your Results – All Leap ST handheld 3D scanners meet the highest standards of accuracy and reliability. Certified according to the rigorous VDI/VDE 2634 standard, Leap ST ensures precise measurements that you can trust. Backed by ISO 17025-compliant accredited calibration laboratories, this cutting-edge technology guarantees traceable and repeatable results.

Short Learning Curve – Leap ST’s software integration means that there’s a minimal learning curve. The product is capable of scanning into FARO CAM2 Scan Professional Software, part of the CAM2 Editions Software portfolio. It is also compatible with other leading metrology software. Whichever software platform is selected, users have the flexibility to inspect parts in their preferred environment, avoiding additional costs of training and maintenance and reducing the need for differentiated skill sets.

Ultra-fast Scanning – Leap ST’s main operating mode, multiple lasers allow for fast coverage and greatly assist in identifying features allowing for data capture across the entire field of view.

Hyperfine Scanning – 7 parallel lasers are used at a limited standoff distance for the highest possible point density (down to 0.010). The mode can be used locally within an ultra-fast scanning workflow and allows for high resolution features to be added to a dataset only where a high density is needed, keeping the overall 3d model light and manageable for consecutive processes.

Photogrammetry – Used to decrease the accumulated error introduced by the length of the trajectory and may be of help with other scan modes or workflows. While traditional photogrammetry requires several accessories, everything you need to perform photogrammetry with FARO Leap ST is inside the box, scale bars included.

Deep Hole – The unique laser line is triangulated according to the baseline between the projector and one camera. By reducing the baseline, the ability to scan inside holes increases drastically, allowing the ability to inspect even the most challenging features in hard-to-reach areas to the maximum allowable depth.

Large-area Scanning – 11 parallel infrared laser lines enable a large scanning area, ideal for measuring medium to large parts when large features need to be inspected or when a first rough scan of a medium to large part is required.
