The Macfab Group provide 3D scanning services both infield and onsite. Our Faro 3D Scanner eliminates guess work in production and allows us to take accurate site measurements on any job. By using our 3D scanner, you can be confident that any parts or fabrications manufactured in our facility, will fit perfectly when installed onsite. As a benefit to you, we save hours on site by recording accurate measurements with our Faro 3D Scanner, eliminating manual measurement errors made in the field and ensuring only one visit to site is required.

Often when designing, upgrading, reverse engineering or replacing a component or structure, the constraints can be tight. Traditional documentation methods may take days or weeks to capture the measurements of a large object or structure, and even then, the data can contain errors or missing information. By using our 3D scanner to scan the existing structure, mounting location and component. It can be certain that our solution will fit, without the need for extensive site measurements or multiple prototypes/test fits.

Using our Faro Focus s70 we can scan the building site, existing spool, engine, pressure vessel, etc. and put the scan directly into our 3D modelling software. Each scan typically takes 7-11 minutes, and most sites require between 3-7 scans depending on the size of the site. This significantly reduces the time required to take site measurements and removes the problem of missing key measurements. This is extremely useful when the alignment of new to old components is paramount. The scanner can scan up to 70m and is accurate down to the mm and does not require any calibration targets to be added to the scanned area. The only requirement is that the item being scanned is not too reflective.
