Faro launches CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2 portable metrology software

Faro Technologies has released CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2, which is said to be the industry's first full-featured portable software for basic geometric measurements, without CAD, for laser trackers and measuring arms.

CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2 will now interface with Faro's Laser Trackers to provide a simple solution for those who require the accuracy and large measurement volume capability provided by laser trackers, without the complexity of CAD-based software. CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2 has been optimised to run on all Windows-based touch PCs or tablets. The addition of touch capability makes the software suitable for fully mobile measurement applications. Other newly developed features include a 'Move Device' function, which streamlines the inspection of large parts, particularly when frequent repositioning is needed. Users can now move their device during the measurement process and measure their part from different positions.
