How much do faro 3d scanning jobs pay per hour?

As of Jul 24, 2026, the average hourly pay for faro 3d scanning in the United States is $27.34, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $24.04 and $30.77 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What are some common challenges Faro 3D Scanning technicians face when working on-site, and how can they prepare for them?

Faro 3D Scanning technicians often encounter challenges such as difficult lighting conditions, limited access to scan areas, and the need to minimize interference with ongoing site activities. Preparing for these challenges involves conducting thorough site assessments beforehand, coordinating closely with project managers and site personnel, and bringing appropriate accessories like tripods, targets, and backup batteries. Flexibility, problem-solving skills, and clear communication are essential for adapting to dynamic environments and ensuring accurate, efficient data capture.

What is Faro 3D scanning?

Faro 3D scanning refers to the process of using Faro 3D laser scanners to capture accurate, high-resolution digital representations of real-world objects or environments. These scanners use laser technology to create detailed point clouds, which can then be converted into 3D models for use in industries like construction, architecture, engineering, and manufacturing. Faro 3D scanning is valued for its precision, speed, and versatility, enabling professionals to document spaces, inspect components, or reverse-engineer parts with minimal manual measurement. The resulting data can be used for analysis, design, or quality control purposes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Faro 3D Scanning Technician, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Faro 3D Scanning Technician, you need a solid understanding of 3D scanning principles, spatial analysis, and experience with CAD or BIM software, often backed by technical education in engineering, surveying, or a related field. Familiarity with Faro Focus or similar 3D laser scanners, SCENE software, and point cloud data processing tools is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and effective communication are important soft skills for ensuring accurate data collection and successful coordination with project teams. These skills and qualities are crucial for delivering precise spatial measurements and reliable models that support engineering, construction, and manufacturing projects.

What is the difference between Faro 3D Scanning vs Laser Technician?

AspectFaro 3D ScanningLaser Technician
CredentialsTypically requires CAD, 3D scanning certificationsRequires laser safety and technical certifications
Work EnvironmentConstruction sites, manufacturing, architectureIndustrial facilities, manufacturing plants
Industry UsageSurveying, architecture, engineeringManufacturing, quality control
Tools & TechniquesHandheld/stationary 3D scanners, softwareLaser equipment, calibration tools

Faro 3D Scanning focuses on capturing precise 3D data of environments and objects using specialized scanners, often for design or surveying. Laser Technicians operate laser equipment mainly for measurement, alignment, or quality control in industrial settings. While both roles involve laser technology, Faro 3D Scanning emphasizes detailed 3D modeling, whereas Laser Technicians focus on laser-based measurements and maintenance.

Job description

Engineering Designer
Council Bluffs, IA • Mechanical Design & 3D Modeling AutoCAD Plant 3D • FARO 3D Scanning • Piping, Boilers & Process Systems
Since 1970, Rasmussen Mechanical Services has been a family-owned mechanical contractor working across the Midwest and Rocky Mountains. We've grown to over 200 people across seven locations, but we've kept the small-shop feeling that's made people stay with us for 20, 30, even 37 years.
We're looking for an Engineering Designer to join the family - whether you're an experienced designer ready for more interesting work, a field or fab-shop veteran who's moved to the design side, or a new grad looking for a place that will actually invest in you.
The Work
You'll bring mechanical projects to life on the screen before they're built in the field: 3D modeling, P&IDs, general arrangements, and fabrication drawings for everything from commercial HVAC systems to complex industrial piping, boilers, and process equipment.
A typical week might include:
  • Building 3D models in AutoCAD Plant 3D from FARO laser scans of customer facilities
  • Drafting P&IDs, general arrangements, and fabrication drawings the shop and field crews can actually build from
  • Walking job sites with project managers and sales engineers to scope new work
  • Producing proposal drawings and renderings that help customers say yes
  • Sitting down with our welders, fitters, and field techs to make sure what you're drawing makes sense to build
If You've Ever Built What Someone Else Drew
Some of the best designers we know came up through the trades - fitters, welders, fab shop detailers - people who spent years building from other people's drawings and thought, I could draw this better.
If that's you, we want to talk. Knowing how a spool actually gets fabricated, rigged, and fitted in a tight mechanical room is knowledge you can't teach in a CAD class, and it shows up in every drawing you produce. We'll get you the rest.
And if you love the satisfaction of seeing your drawings turn into real, working systems - this is your kind of team.
Why People Stay at RMS
  • Family-owned, and it shows. The Rasmussens are still here. Leadership is accessible, decisions get made quickly, and people get treated like people.
  • Variety you won't get elsewhere. Ten specialized departments - HVAC, boilers, mechanical construction, controls, reliability, and more - so no two projects look alike.
  • Modern tools, and training to match. FARO 3D scanning and AutoCAD Plant 3D, with company-provided training and continuing investment in your skills. If you're strong in AutoCAD but new to Plant 3D, we'll teach you.
  • Your drawings get built. Not shelved, not value-engineered into oblivion by someone three states away. Built - by our own crews, usually within a few miles of your desk.
  • Industry-leading pay and benefits, plus a culture that takes work-life balance seriously.
  • A genuinely good place to work. Modern offices, 24/7 gym, golf simulator, team lunches - and yes, "fun" really is one of our core values.
What You Bring
Experienced designers (3+ years)
  • Drafting and 3D modeling experience with piping or mechanical systems
  • Strong AutoCAD skills
  • AutoCAD Plant 3D experience strongly preferred - if you're coming from CADWorx, AutoCAD MEP, SolidWorks, Inventor, or another 3D platform, we'll train you up
  • A track record of producing drawings that field crews can build from
  • Strong attention to detail and good time management
  • Comfortable working with engineers, project managers, field crews, and customers

Field and fab-shop backgrounds welcome
  • Pipefitting, welding, sheet metal, or fabrication experience paired with CAD skills - formal or self-taught
  • You don't need a degree. You need to know how things get built, and be able to draw it.

New grads
  • A degree or certificate in mechanical design, drafting & design technology, or a related field
  • Solid CAD fundamentals (AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, Revit - we're not picky about which)
  • Curiosity, attention to detail, and a real interest in how mechanical systems go together
  • We'll teach you Plant 3D, FARO scanning, and how our shop and field crews work. We mean it when we say we invest in people.

Everyone
  • Valid driver's license; able to pass a pre-employment drug screen
  • Willing to occasionally travel to customer sites for walkdowns and scanning
Working Conditions
Primarily office-based, with occasional travel to customer sites for walkdowns and scanning - typically day trips, with occasional overnight stays. You'll need to be able to lift 25-30 lbs occasionally and sit at a workstation for extended periods.
