Coordinate measurement system has software partner

Faro Technologies, provider of portable 3D coordinate measurement systems for the computer-aided measuring market, has announced a partnership with Metrologic.

Faro Technologies, provider of portable 3D coordinate measurement systems for the Computer-Aided Measuring (CAM2) market, has announced that it has made Metrologic its latest Software Diversity Partner (SDP).

Metrologic, a global supplier of image processing software, joins Faro's other SDPs, including Delcam and Geomagic.

"This arrangement opens the door to Metrologic users who want the accuracy, durability and versatility of our FaroArm, Laser Line Probe or Laser Tracker," Faro Co-Founder and CEO Simon Raab said.

"Metrologic is the standard software at Airbus, Renault, Citroen, Peugeot, Volkswagen and other major companies, so securing these alliances reinforces Faro's position as the leading portable CMM source for the worldwide measurement market".

Metrologic Group SA President and CEO Philippe Cimadomo added: "This partnership with Faro is another example of Metrologic Group's unique ability to develop advanced, yet easy-to-use, software that meets the growing demand for their portable CMMs.

Both of our companies share a common goal of serving our expanding customer base, and we look forward to working together through the SDP program".

Faro's software partners benefit from integration and joint selling through the Company's worldwide sales force, as well as having access to its development teams in order to improve interfaces, make the user experience seamless, and achieve a higher level of coordination with its hardware and software products.

Faro will continue to develop its successful family of CAM2 software products - and will also review proposals from other third-party software companies seeking to join its Software Diversity Program - in order to further broaden the measuring and reporting options for its customers.

"We are proud to align ourselves with a company like Metrologic, which has such a strong software presence in our target markets," Faro President and COO Jay Freeland said.

"As with our other Software Diversity partners, this helps us achieve two goals: providing Faro customers with the best possible alternatives to our own CAM2 Measure X, and becoming the single-source solution for computer-aided measurement".
