FARO® BuildIT Metrology Software

BuildIT Metrology Features

• Model-based Definition (MBD)
  Use with industry-standard CAD formats and assembly-level data, including Product Manufacturing Information (PMI). Imports and preserves full tree hierarchy and object names from the original CAD models, and includes smart search and CAD editing functions that allow efficient and flexible model preparation for inspection.
• Streamlined Workflows with Focus Laser Scanner
  Import and register multiple scans in a single software with automatic targets (spheres, checkboards) recognition and registration or with the cloud-to-cloud registration. Real-time wireless trigger of scans from multiple Focus units and live transfer enable highly flexible automated scanning workflows with increased throughput.
• Hardware Compatibility
  Use BuildIT Metrology with FARO and other data capture hardware, including portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), metrology 3D scanners, laser trackers, portable measurement arms, optical 3D imagers, laser projectors, total stations and external robotic devices via the automation module. Combine with a FARO Vantage Laser Tracker and ScanArm or a Focus Laser Scanner to perform detailed inspections on large objects.
• Universal Interface
  Easily operate BuildIT Metrology, with minimal training required.

Business Value of BuildIT Metrology

• Eliminate Labor-intensive Tasks
  Workflows are simple to set up, yet powerful in the ways they automate tasks — from data acquisition to analysis and reporting. Powerful macros make programming easy, so an expert is not required to complete the data capture for frequently measured parts and assemblies.
• Empower All Workers
  Anyone can perform complex inspections with advanced geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) callouts with the comprehensive GD&T module (ASME Y14.5 and ISO 1101 standards compliant), automatic alignment and evaluation.
• Improve Speed and Efficiency
  Automated workflows, faster alignment, shorter inspection cycle times and dynamic reporting save time. Large datasets (extensive and dense point clouds) feature powerful and advanced algorithms tailored for point clouds.
• Minimize Waste
  Real-time guided part alignment and placement results in fewer errors and less scrap.
• Solve Unique Challenges
  Multiple FARO hardware devices can be combined to deliver unique solutions, solving complex customer challenges (e.g., ability to see results in real life with projections derived from measurements).
• Improve Customer Satisfaction
  Ensure products conform to design requirements and tolerances.
