FARO and Creaform have officially merged into two entities, FARO CREAFORM and FARO INSIGHT, ushering in a new era for 3D scanning, precise measurement, and real-world digitization in industry, construction, and public security.
On January 13, 2026, FARO Technologies and Creaform, two leading brands in 3D measurement and scanning, officially announced a landmark strategic restructuring. Accordingly, FARO and Creaform will be reorganized into two independent business units: FARO CREAFORM and FARO INSIGHT, under the AMETEK industrial technology group.
This merger is not just an organizational change but also reflects a long-term direction in reshaping how industries approach mobile metrology and real-world digitalization.
FARO CREAFORM is formed from the combination of FARO's 3D measurement division and Creaform's entire ecosystem of handheld 3D scanning and automated inspection. This unit focuses on providing highly accurate, practical dimensional measurement solutions, helping manufacturing and maintenance businesses make decisive and reliable engineering decisions.
With FARO's more than 40 years of development in measuring arms and laser trackers, and Creaform's more than 20 years of innovation in handheld 3D scanning technology, FARO CREAFORM aims to become the global standard for mobile metrology. FARO CREAFORM's solutions enable direct on-site measurement on large parts, complex surfaces, or real-world production environments while ensuring micrometer-level accuracy.
Under the leadership of Fanny Truchon, FARO CREAFORM focuses on optimizing the user experience, simplifying the measurement process, and providing a unified solution portfolio for the entire production lifecycle.
In parallel with FARO CREAFORM, FARO INSIGHT was established to focus on reality capture, including 3D laser scanning, laser projection, vision systems, and spatial data management. FARO INSIGHT aims to digitize the physical world, helping the construction, infrastructure, geospatial, and public security sectors to accurately and consistently utilize on-site data.
FARO INSIGHT provides a complete ecosystem, from on-site data collection and point-cloud conversion to data management and sharing for a digital twin process. This approach minimizes discrepancies, increases transparency, and supports data-driven decision-making.
The restructuring of FARO and Creaform into two specialized units reflects the inevitable trend in the 3D scanning and industrial measurement industry. Instead of scattered development, solutions are increasingly designed to meet specific real-world contexts, focusing on mobility, accuracy, and integration into digital manufacturing processes.
This merger provides customers with clearer and easier-to-choose solutions, and a single point of technical support throughout the entire process, from consultation and implementation to after-sales service. Simultaneously, it serves as a foundation for accelerating technological innovation in handheld 3D scanning, automated inspection, and on-site measurement.
In Vietnam, 3D Master is a pioneer in deploying handheld 3D scanning and precision measurement solutions using Creaform technology. The merger of FARO and Creaform into FARO CREAFORM further strengthens 3D Master's direction: making mobile metrology the standard tool in reverse engineering, quality control, and industrial digitalization.
3D Master not only provides genuine 3D scanning equipment but also focuses on the value of the output data. Each 3D scanning project is evaluated based on its practical application goals, such as reverse engineering, CAD comparison, deviation analysis, or long-term digital archiving. This perfectly aligns with FARO CREAFORM's development philosophy in this new phase.
The introduction of FARO CREAFORM marks a new phase of development for the 3D measurement and scanning industry. With accuracy no longer limited by the space of the measurement room, metrology becomes a flexible part of modern production and maintenance lines.
For manufacturing businesses, this is an opportunity to shorten inspection time, reduce errors, and improve product quality right from the field. For service providers like 3D Master, this is a solid technological platform to continue providing in-depth 3D scanning solutions, meeting increasingly demanding technical requirements.
The merger of FARO and Creaform into FARO CREAFORM and FARO INSIGHT is not just an organizational restructuring, but a significant milestone shaping the future of 3D scanning, metrology, and the digitization of reality. With its focused, in-depth approach and data-centric philosophy, FARO CREAFORM promises to become the new standard for global mobile measurement.
If your business is looking for a highly accurate handheld 3D scanning solution or needs consulting on implementing measurement and reverse engineering according to international standards, 3D Master is ready to be your reliable technical partner.
