LAKE MARY, Fla., Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO®
(NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D
measurement and imaging solutions for factory metrology,
construction BIM/CIM, product design, public safety forensics, and
3D solutions applications, announces the availability of the
FARO® Visual Inspect™ product family. This
innovative platform enables large, complex 3D CAD (computer-aided
design) data to be transferred to an iPad and then used for mobile
visualization and comparison to real world conditions. To watch an
overview video, go to https://tech.faro.com/visual-inspect. This
enables real time, actionable manufacturing insight through earlier
stage error detection in the production, construction or design
processes. For more information, go to

Visual Inspect™ is a true next generation solution as it moves
3D CAD viewing away from the traditional desktop PC to a mobile "in
hand, on demand" solution. The 3D CAD data is stored locally
on the iPad through an innovative, compressed, mobile format which
provides an exceptional degree of flexibility and mobility that
together drive increased productivity. The end user is able to
document problems and errors with text and images and then easily
export both into a Microsoft Excel office document.
The Visual Inspect™ product family offers two exceptional
value options.
- Visual Inspect™: enables intuitive mobile viewing,
verification and documentation of complex 3D data
- Visual Inspect AR™ : enables complex 3D data to be
overlaid and compared to actual data in real time
The integrated iPad camera supports Visual Inspect AR™ as a
more cost effective alternative to other Augmented Reality (AR)
products that require expensive cameras.
The Visual Inspect™ product family can be ready for use via
a simple three step process that includes first downloading the
iPad application from the Apple Apps store, calibrating the iPad
and then activating the application with the calibration file.
"We are thrilled to follow up our purchase of mwf-technology
(http://www.faro.com/news/MWF) in December
2016 with the integration of its innovative technology into
the FARO product portfolio," stated Simon
Raab, Ph.D., FARO's President and CEO. "We are creating a
new paradigm that enables our customers to move beyond doing it the
right way most of the time to doing it the best way all the
time."
The Visual Inspect™ family is available now for quoting and
ordering.
