FARO® CAM2® Software

Intuitive metrology software in a single software ecosystem

CAM2® is a powerful, intuitive and modular software solution that provides customers the functionalities needed for their 3D measurement operations, all in a single software ecosystem. Designed to enable users to fulfill their quality assurance and inspection tasks, CAM2 features five software offerings, each one tailored to meet specific manufacturing measurement needs.

This level of modularity means users can avoid the challenges associated with purchasing additional software beyond their workflow requirements. CAM2 streamlines industrial metrology applications for dimensional controls, incoming parts and first article inspections, part-to-CAD comparisons, assemblies, repeat part measurements, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). It improves and increases the efficiency of measurement routines and provides an effective correlation between quality assurance and production operations, offering a powerful set of tools to fully control and optimize manufacturing processes.
