LAKE MARY, FL, Jan 24, 2025 – FARO Technologies, Inc. has entered a new category of handheld scanning with the launch of FARO Leap ST. The new handheld solution expands the company’s product portfolio, making FARO one of the few companies offering customers a range of portable 3D metrology devices. FARO paired the launch with an update to its FARO CAM2 Software, for an effective way to scan parts.
“We wrapped up 2024 with a series of exciting new product launches, and we’re kicking off 2025 with the same momentum,” said FARO president & CEO Peter J. Lau. “Leap ST underscores our dedication to the manufacturing sector and 3D metrology, the backbone of FARO Technologies for over 40 years. Along with our updated CAM2 software, we’re confident that Leap ST will significantly impact our customers and the wider industry.”
Leap ST features five operating modes, ultra-fast scanning, hyperfine scanning, deep hole scanning, large area scanning, and photogrammetry. The metrology-grade tool measures and checks various surfaces and parts with accuracy. Its compact and portable design works well across different industries and uses.
Additionally, FARO enhanced its 3D metrology software offerings with the update of CAM2. CAM2 offers options for scanning devices and probing devices, as well as a hybrid approach that integrates probing and scanning for solutions such as the FaroArm with laser line probes.
RFK Racing, an existing FARO customer and eight-time NASCAR champion praised Leap ST. “The new handheld scanner will seamlessly integrate into our processes, further boosting our manufacturing efficiency,” said Kevin Kidd, director of software and analytics. “The unification of FARO data in CAM2, a software we’ve already adopted, will allow us to streamline information into one cohesive and connected system.”
