(FARO Technologies: Lake Mary, FL) -- FARO has announced the availability of the Cobalt Design structured-light scanner product family. Structured-light scanning technology uses projected-light patterns with a camera system to capture large areas at once and, as a result, significantly reduces data-capture time and delivers quicker results.

Cobalt Design, combined with the recently introduced RevEng software platform, delivers a one-stop, comprehensive digital design solution where small to medium objects can be scanned with precision and in color with multiple levels of resolution. It is the first color structured-light scanner from FARO specifically developed for design applications and is ideal for scanning complex surfaces, especially highly detailed organic shapes. Cobalt Design addresses a variety of design requirements, including reverse engineering, prototype design, packaging design, digital cataloging, and even jewelry and fashion design.
