What FARO RevEng is

FARO RevEng creates and edits meshes and CAD surfaces from 3D point clouds for reverse-engineering, further design, and 3D printing. It supports point-cloud capture devices such as FARO ScanArms and the 8-Axis Quantum ScanArm, and can import point clouds and meshes in the listed formats. Its tools include mesh fixing, repair, adjustment, smoothing, and fitting. The Sketch Tool can create editable NURBS surfaces from point clouds, while hole filling, simplification, offsets, and shell tools help prepare watertight meshes for printing. RevEng supports real-time capture, mesh reconstruction, and exports formats including STEP. It runs on Windows 10/11; recommended specifications include a 6th-generation-or-later Intel Core i7 or equivalent, 16 GB or more of RAM, and at least 1 GB of free disk space. FARO offers a fully functional 30-day trial. A license is complimentary with a new purchase of FARO CAM2 Scan Professional or CAM2 Expert. Standalone pricing is on request, and there is no free plan.
