Faro acquires Italian structured light 3D scanning company Open Technologies

3D Scanning specialists Faro have added further industrial and dental 3D scanning technologies to its brand through the acquisition of Opto-Tech and its subsidiary Open Technologies.

Located in Brescia, Italy, Open Technologies offers a rich portfolio of compact, 3D structured light scanning solutions, including its Cronos and Arum models, for large and small parts respectively.

The company is an official partner of 3D Systems, while having also created an interesting line of its own software, including its reverse engineering toolset Optical Reveng, which offers novel realtime monitoring of the scan in real time, capturing any environmental change or movement of the sensor itself, ensuring high quality measurement.
