Tuesday September 9, 10:30 am ET
LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FARO - News), the world leader in portable computer-aided measurement hardware and software, announced it has enhanced it's award-winning metrology software, CAM2 Q, which now has the ability to collect scan data.
"CAM2 Q 1.0 hit the scene earlier this year and earned a Reader's Choice Award as the Best Quality/Inspection Software," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. "Now, FARO Laser ScanArm users can also benefit from the freedom, efficiency and simplicity of the industry's fastest software."
Built with a best-of-breed CAD translator and Parasolid CAD engine, CAM2 Q allows the ScanArm to automatically recognize geometric features, such as holes and planes, for non-contact inspection.
In addition, CAM2 Q 1.1 allows all users to:
-- Install and measure with FARO hardware right out of the box
-- Measure with multiple FaroArms and FARO Laser Trackers simultaneously - - even on the same location
-- Customize the windows and toolbar layouts based on the priorities of the project -- not a preset format -- and save multiple users' choices so they can complete the job in the fewest number of mouse clicks possible
-- Quickly create, edit and run programs in the same window rather than opening a new application or separate screen
-- Create measurement/operation sequences that guides other users via easy-to-follow, on-screen instructions
-- Instantly see exact dimensions and geometric properties -- no measurement software lag
-- Easily change/convert between different measurement units or coordinate systems at any time without re-measuring
-- Add, change or measure features at any time -- in any order -- without being restricted to a preset order of operation
-- Display, delete, or re-measure every measured point without starting over if new features are added to a prototype
-- Certify that their geometry calculations are accurate to one half micron; 500 times thinner than the width of a human hair
-- Create customized reports in Microsoft Word and Excel, HTML, PDF, and other formats
"CAM2 Q 1.1 proves that capability and functionality doesn't have to be synonymous with complexity," FARO Global VP of Product Management Natalia Warren said. "Now you can use the ScanArm to eliminate user variability during inspection, while FaroArm and FARO Tracker users get even faster results with confidence."
The English-language version will be available September 15, 2008, then translated in 10 languages later this year.
