There are areas of life where human intuition has a valid place at work. But making sure that physical parts are correctly placed in accordance with their CAD design is not a time to rely on a best guess.
The smart choice is one measured and confirmed by 3D digital projection technology, like the laser templating solution provided by the FARO® TracerSI Laser Projector and BuildIT Projector Software.
Why trust manual measurements — which can be off because of a variety of human or machine factors — when you could harness the accuracy and precision provided by in-process verification solution? A company that upgrades their workflow to include this technology suddenly unleashes the capability to increase efficiency. How? When you create automated, guided, repeatable workflows directly from CAD models, these jobs suddenly become doable by even the most inexperienced users.Simply put, using the BuildIT Projector Software and Tracer Laser Projector solution streamlines entire manufacturing processes — whether your industry is aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding or something else. Your organization can now maximize quality and minimize wasteful spending, since laser-guided sequencing and part placement allows for correct assembly to be done the first time, every time.
New to this version of BuildIT Projector Software, ScanAlign is a feature which turns finding and measuring retro-targets into a one-click step. There’s absolutely no user intervention — it automatically aligns to retro-targets by scanning a pre-defined region, reducing the need for the operator to manually go in and measure each point during the process.

FARO is also launching a new Premium offering for both BuildIT Projector Planner and Operator. It allows Planners to import any CAD models in their native format, preserving the highest fidelity — including names and tree structure — from the original CAD. This Premium offering also includes the powerful automation capabilities of the BuildIT platform. From simple drag and drop automation to full Python scripting capabilities, repetitive and redundant workflows can be streamlined for the Operator when running projection jobs. Plus, with this Premium offering, communication with external applications (like PLC and light indicators) is now possible.
