New CAM2 Measure 10 Software for point cloud based inspection
CAM2 Measure 10 – the new measurement software for the FaroArm, FARO ScanArm and FARO Laser Tracker – provides the ability to scan and collect point cloud data for inspection, reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. With CAM2 Measure 10, FARO offers for the first time a solution that incorporates measurement by traditional probing methods, scanning and point cloud capture.
CAM2 Measure 10 new features also include:
Live Colour Scan: This highlights deviations from CAD during the scanning process to help identify inconsistencies quickly and expedite the scanning process. Live Colour Scan allows inspection of free form parts with the FARO ScanArm more quickly and easily than ever before.
Shortcuts: This feature enables users to record steps in a measurement process and then combines them into a single command to be accessed later: it’s possible to easily obtain measurement data that previously may have only been available through a series of complex operations.
Easy Move Wizard simplifies measurement of large parts, particularly when frequent repositioning is a necessity. By enabling quick identification of correct target correspondence, the time required to relocate (“leapfrog”) the FaroArm is reduced and the potential for user error is mitigated.

Corvette Racing Wins 24 Hours of Le Mans – with the help of FARO!
Corvette Racing wins 24 Hours of Le Mans
Congratulations to Corvette Racing for their historic victory in the most grueling race of the season, the 24 Hours of Le Mans! The win came as Chevrolet celebrates its 100th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of Corvette Racing’s first Le Mans victory in 2001.
FARO is a proud sponsor of Corvette Racing and a long-time partner with Pratt & Miller Engineering. Corvette Racing, which is run by Pratt & Miller, has used FaroArms in the design, quality control and race-specification compliance of their vehicles; the Gage validates parts in their precision machine shop; and the ScanArm reverse-engineers components. This allows the company’s engineers and technicians to accurately and efficiently produce everything from small, individual components and sub-assemblies to complete turnkey road and race cars.
Pratt & Miller used the FaroArm, FARO Gage and FARO Laser ScanArm in order to design, construct and analyze ‘virtual’ components, CFD (computational fluid dynamics), systems, and complete cars – every facet of a project from initial conception to the finished product. The combination of Pratt & Miller team’s expertise and FARO’s portable, computerized measuring technologies offers a total design solution, so Pratt & Miller has unmatched time and cost efficiencies, accuracy, and performance.

FARO and TESIS open a new fully-fledged Calibration Center for advanced measuring devices
FARO and TESIS are joining forces to establish a fully-fledged new calibration and service center for FARO products in Moscow. The new center opening on 16th December 2010 with a customer and VIP event will enable owners of FARO products to conveniently service and recalibrate their tools within their own market region instead of sending them abroad.
Quality on Tour 2010 – How portable measurement systems improve quality control
FARO is organising a European series of seminars called ‘Quality on Tour’ this autumn. The aim is to educate the participants on quality control topics. The seminars are carried out in conjunction with universities and measurement experts.
The seminar Quality on Tour consists of two days and features the topics ‘Portable measurement technology, articulated arm Coordinate Measuring Machines and laser scanners’ as well as ‘Measuring large volumes and laser trackers’. During the mornings participants will hear theoretical introductions to measurement systems, how they work and where they can be employed. In the afternoons participants will have the opportunity to test and deepen their newly gained knowledge in workshops.
The Quality on Tour seminars are taking place in October and November in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France and Italy. The UK event will take place on 16th and 17th November at Warwick University in Coventry.
