FARO develops and markets portable CMMs (coordinate measuring machines) and 3D documentation devices to solve dimensional metrology problems. Technology from FARO permits high-precision 3D measurement, documentation and comparison of parts and compound structures within production and quality assurance processes. The devices are used for inspecting components and assemblies, production planning, documenting large volume spaces or structures in 3D, and more. FARO’s 3D measurement technology allows companies to maximize efficiencies and improve processes.

1. Introduction to 3D Documentation
Dr. Bernd Becker
Chief Technology Strategist, FARO

2. A stone age 3D document of a Mammoth (33.000 BC)
Was it reality?

3. The oldest 3D human document of the world (33.000 BC)
Was this reality?

4. Is this reality?

5. Reality by Erik Johannsson

6. When humans document
REALITY
it might not be real!

7. This is 3D-Documentation!

16. Even Polar Bears enjoy scanning!

17. 3D-Documentation Definition
To capture the 3D-geometry and image
of real objects accurately & reproducible
at a certain point in time
and save it
as an informational model.
-
Or: …. to capture the true status of the
3D Reality around us now.

18. 3D Documentation is not….

19. 3D Documentation is not …

20. … it can be quite exciting!

21. Why document information in a digital info model?
Digital information is not constrained by:
– Mass
– Location
– Time
– Cost
– Risk
– Perspective
– Connectivity to other info models

22. Is it Surveying?

23. Surveying: „Where are the boundaries of real estate?“

24. 3D-Documentation: …..of the true status of objects

25. Capture the true status of objects – in all detail

26. Pioneering and Networking 3D-Documentation

27. Meet the Pioneers!

28. Colleagues in 3D-Documentation
• Make friends with colleagues in same industry.
• Learn from each other HOW their business works.
• How can you also be successful in your location?
• Why not collaborate with a colleague in another
region?
I really made
new friends
and learned
how to make
better
business!
