###Summary:
I had the great opportunity to participate in a demonstration of the FARO Edge ScanArm and have results from several Toronto fossils.
###FARO Edge ScanArm:
An articulated arm metrology unit capable of laser measurements, as well as traditional touch-probe measurements.
###Demonstration Condition:
Great results despite the non-ideal environment (meeting room table shaky and unstable in terms of coordinate measurement metrology standards - typically a secured granite inspection surface is used)
Quick demonstration
Low resolution settings
Presence / involvement of attendees / first time users
Exported as XYZ data from Polyworks
Cleaning and surface reconstruction done in Meshlab
###Outputs:
Raw scalar data stored and shared for posterity & modelling
Models (vector data) shared for learning & interaction (simplified model can be interacted with online on Sketchfab)
