Scan data collection added to CAM2 Q capabilities

  • Scan data collection added to CAM2 Q capabilities
FARO Technologies has enhanced it’s metrology software, CAM2 Q, which now has the ability to collect scan data.



Built with a best-of-breed CAD translator and Parasolid CAD engine, CAM2 Q allows the ScanArm to automatically recognise 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;
· Customise 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 guide 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 customised reports in Microsoft Word and Excel, HTML, PDF, and other formats.
