LAKE MARY, Fla., Jan. 17, 2011 /CNW/ -- FARO Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ: FARO), the world's leading provider of portable
measurement and imaging solutions, celebrates 30 years in 2011.
With three decades of innovation and helping its customers'
products and processes be the best in the world, FARO celebrated
this milestone by having one of their valued customers, Paul Jr.
Designs, build a custom FARO-themed chopper. FARO's motorcycle
build will be featured on Discovery Channel's popular television
series American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior premiering January 17,
2011 at 9pm EST. (Photo:

custom choppers created by Paul Jr. Designs, the FaroArm was used
during the fabrication of this 30th anniversary bike. Creating
one-of-a-kind masterpieces quickly and efficiently is important for
PJD. Some elements like the gas tank, seat pan and primary cover
display the true craftsmanship that goes into every design. All of
these have intricate shapes and contours that are difficult to
capture or re-create by hand. With the FaroArm they are able to
digitize the exact shape and placement of components virtually
eliminating the need to trace and create cardboard templates. The
data collected with the arm can be immediately imported to the CNC
machine or water-jet cutter to produce accurate pieces that will
fit perfectly from the start, thus reducing scrap, saving time and
boosting overall efficiency. Watch the fabrication and unveiling of
the new FARO custom chopper and get a sneak preview of the next
generation FaroArm that will be showcased during this two part
episode of American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior, premiering January
17 and January 24, 2011. American Chopper: The Series can be seen
in over 150 countries through the Discovery Communication Network.
