With Focus Scan Off-line, users can make optimal use of the expensive measurement capacity of CMMs. Through Focus Scan off-line, Part program can be prepared offline based on CAD drastically reducing the time required to generate part programs. The CMM turnaround time also drops significantly  because of the relentless scanning speed and fast point cloud acquisition  The tightly integrated hardware and software from the a single supplierallows users to exploit 3D laser scanning to its full potential.

Focus Scan serves off-line and on-line scanner path definition. Focus’ Off-line Scan module enables the user to create, modify and prove out part programs with Collision detection and path verification based on 3D CAD models The user only needs to select the surfaces to automatically generates the optimized scan path. As a result, Focus Scan Off-line provides full coverage of selected surfaces, while adapting scanner motion speed to local geometry. Scanner motion automatically slows down around local curvatures or when more measurement points on the circumference of smaller features need to be captured. Following this automatic procedure, scanning of freeform surfaces can start minutes after the CAD file has been loaded.

1. With a single click the scan path is generated based on CAD data	2. Offline, a simulation results in virtual point cloud that is used to prepare the acquisition and analysis of the online CMM scan data	3. Acquired data is filtered...	4. ... meshed...	5. ... and analyzed in Focus Inspection.

Focus Scan is specifically developed to efficiently deal with larger point clouds. The scan data stream acquired through the laser scanner is managed efficiently and pre-processed intelligently to ensure instant graphic analysis in Focus Inspection.
