Faro unveils CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2 metrology software

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

With the addition of the laser tracker interface to CAM2 SmartInspect, Faro says it has now extended simplicity and efficiency to large volume 3D measurement, greatly reducing the technology barrier to entry for users that need a laser tracker but not the complexity of CAD-based software. CAM2 SmartInspect 1.2 has been optimised to run on all Microsoft Windows-based touch PCs or touchpads, offering users a new way to interact with inspection data and measurement devices. The addition of touch-capability makes the software suitable for mobile measurement applications and establishes it as the first portable metrology software for laser trackers and measuring arms on the market, says Faro.
