First Focus3D in the Greek Market acquired by Topometria
“The reason why Topometria Ltd ordered the FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D is that it was by far the most impressive item of Intergeo 2010, assembling in a tiny instrument all the high-end technology we needed: frequency, range, color, 360 field of view at a very fair price. The Focus3D will become the link between laser scanning technology and daily conventional survey” explains George Papastamos, CEO at Topometria.
Topometria Ltd is a Greek infrastructure engineering and consulting company providing ad hoc Surveying Services. Over the last years, the company invested time and capital in High End Surveying Equipment and software as well as in training. Except conventional surveys Topometria Ltd expertise’s in deformation monitoring, railway and road works surveying, laser scanning, tunneling survey, geodetic network establishment, quantity survey.
FARO France @ MIDEST Show 2010
FARO will be exhibiting at the MIDEST Show which will be taking place from 2nd to 5th November at the Exhibition Centre in Villepinte (near Paris). The MIDESt fair is the world’s largest show exclusively dedicated to industrial subcontracting and face to face meetings. FARO will display its whole range of 3D measuring systems, including the whole new FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D.
BMW Group banks on FARO Focus3D
BMW Group acquired FARO Focus3D and will use it for the adjustment of the real geometry of forming tools with engineering data. The purpose is to avoid collisions in the production process.
ThyssenKrupp System Engineering buys FARO Focus3D
ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer GmbH based in Wadern-Lockweiler (Germany) bought as one of the first companies the new FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D. The scanner will be used in the digital factory sector and to digitalise production lines in the automotive sector.
Rainer Haupenthal, teamleader at BIW Service explains, ”The FARO Focus3D is the first choice for us and convinced us due to its cost/performance ratio: excellent quality for a reasonable price. No other supplier on the market offers this performance at such a price.“
New FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D is great success
With the opening of the Intergeo 2010 we launched yesterday the new FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D which is five times smaller, four times lighter than its predecessor and available at a very affordable price. [more...]
Objective – Leadership in Innovation
FARO has successfully combined three tried-and-tested measuring systems in the Track ScanArm. The mobile measuring system is particularly impressive in the measurement of entire vehicles, not least as a result of its efficiency.
The BMW Group relies on the latest, state-of-the-art technologies, in particular in development and production. In this context, the Track ScanArm from FARO, which is used at the plants in Dingolfing and Regensburg (both in Germany), represents an equally clever and mobile measuring system in Geometric Integration measuring technology.
Webinar: Efficient CAD to Part Measurement with CAM2 Q, 21st September
We invite you to join our webinar: “Efficient CAD to Part Measurement with CAM2 Q” on Tuesday, 21st September at 02:00PM (GMT).
The webinar will consist of a live demonstration of CAM2 Q showing its efficiency in the measurement of parts against a CAD model. The live demonstration will focus on the following elements of the measurement process:
• Importing / viewing of CAD files
• Performing a CAD to part alignment
• Measuring prismatic features
• Measuring points on CAD surfaces
• Performing part dimensioning
• Building a report
Software Tips & Tricks: Investigating large measurement volumes simply and accurately with PolyWorks and the FaroArm
It is sometimes necessary to carry out measurements from several positions in order to check larger components. The measuring software used for this task faces the challenge of greater measuring errors. For example, in what is known as the leap-frog process, measuring error accumulates with every repositioning of the digitising system. PolyWorks offers an excellent solution through its flexible device position management in combination with the FaroArm. Using algorithms for bundle adjustment, the errors arising in the leap-frog process are evenly distributed across the individual positions.
