Guided assembly & QA validation for fabrication, metalforming & welding

FARO^® has a strong, established solution portfolio for assisting fabrication and metalforming companies with their quality assurance processes, enabling dimensional inspection through portable measurement systems.

The more recent addition of our laser projection solutions, with the ability to perform in-process verification, has allowed us to help implement guided assembly and quality checks earlier in the process, reducing scrap and rework overall. The ability to assemble in real-time to an accurate, flexible projection template and quickly validate against design at each step is a valuable innovation with huge potential to transform your business.
