Providing critical data for restorations to historical landmarks and venues can often be challenging to even the most experienced surveyors. The John Ford Amphitheatre, which was built in 1931, proved to be no exception. Utilizing the FARO Focus3D Laser Scanner became a significant benefit for the Mollenhauer Group as they proceeded to carry out a detailed survey of the complete site.

The fast, and easy, setups with the Edge have greatly impacted the overall efficiency of the floor. Total check time for parts that once took 45 minutes and three position changes on a traditional CMM, are now done in only 2 and half minutes using the FARO Edge – a reduction of over 90%.

“You are only as good as you can measure.” The level of manufacturing expertise rises only to the level of the quality department’s ability to check a part. To this day, both G5 and Grace Engineering adhere to this philosophy by continuously honing their measuring skills to keep up with the latest techniques and equipment.

“The FARO Laser Scanner allows us to quickly document the environment while not disturbing or manipulating any features or objects. Additionally, we are afforded the freedom of selecting each scan location and point density that best fits the particular requirements of a project.”

“Having just scratched the surface of the FARO system’s value in our company, I can easily say that several key benefits we’ve experienced have been reduced work, shortened build times, improved build quality and consistency, improved insight to some of our standard procedures and confidence in many replacement and/or repair contracts.”

“Jackson Jonson Enterprise was started with the FaroArm in mind; we have custom-built the service we offer to the public around the capabilities we have gained. Because of how new we are, we haven’t so much replaced a process with the FaroArm as hit the ground running offering services not possible without the FaroArm,” says Bradley Smith, Jackson Jonson Enterprise’s General Manager.

Chassisworks digitizes a variety of items and has experienced many benefits since implementing their new FARO solution. For Chassisworks, the improved processes and capabilities are the greatest value. A better product, a better fit, and in a shorter development time are the real returns.

“Using FARO has saved Ariel countless hours of inspection time. The capabilities these devices offer really have no counterpart with other CMM equipment and provide us functions we did not have prior to acquiring them.”
