Portable CMMs from FARO simplify the implementation of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and provide efficient, easy-to-use solutions for CAD-based 3D inspections and nominal comparisons.
Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing
Portable CMMs from FARO simplify the implementation of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and provide efficient, easy-to-use solutions for CAD-based 3D inspections and nominal comparisons.
The workflow begins with using FARO’s contact and non-contact measuring tools such as the FaroArm, FARO ScanArm, FARO Laser Tracker or FARO Imager to take precise measurements of a part or assembly.
To the CAD model specifications
Once the measurements are taken, the operator can use FARO’s software solutions to compare the part or assembly to the specifications in the CAD model. CAD overlays are used to check complex geometry against design specifications to evaluate deviations in surface form and ensure every part is produced to an exacting tolerance.

For all your Factory Metrology needs
FaroArm®
The Global Standard for Arm Technology
The FaroArm is an innovative portable coordinate measuring machine that allows manufacturers easy verification of product quality by performing 3D inspections, dimensional analysis, CAD comparison, tool certifications, and more. The Quantum line of FaroArms including the world’s only 8-Axis portable metrology arm solution, extends FARO’s tradition of maximum unsurpassed measurement accuracy, consistency and reliability in every working environment.
- 8-Axis FaroArm enables part to be rotated in real-time for unmatched measuring speed and user friendliness
- FARO kinematic smart probes for quick probe replacement without the need to recalibrate
- Robust high-speed wireless operation
FARO ScanArm®
The FARO ScanArm combines all of the advantages of the Quantum line of FaroArms – including the world’s only 8-Axis portable metrology arm solution – with the FAROBlu or Prizm Color hand held laser scanner to deliver unparalleled non-contact measurement capabilities. Unlike other scanning systems, the ScanArm’s hard probe and the Laser Line Probe can digitize interchangeably without having to remove either component. Users can accurately measure prismatic features with the hard probe, then laser scan sections requiring larger volumes of data — all in one simple tool.
- FAROBlu HD LLP laser technology delivers improved scanning results with higher speed and resolution
- FAROBlu SD LLP delivers cost-effective standard resolution scanning solution
- Prizm Color Lase Line Probe scans parts in color, and full, uncompromised measurement resolution
- 8-Axis ScanArm offers comprehensive solution enabling part to be rotated in real-time to simplify measurement and scanning activities
FARO Cobalt Array Imager
Unlimited Multi-Imager Scanning Configurations
The FARO Cobalt Array Imager is a metrology-grade non-contact scanner which captures millions of high-resolution 3D coordinate measurements in seconds. It is equipped with dedicated on-board processors and a smart sensor that allows multi-array configurations.
- 5MP model – for most applications
- 9MP model – improves resolution and the ability to capture features on edges and surfaces
- Interchangeable lens with 250mm and 500mm field of view
- Accuracy up to 0.027mm for 250mm lens and 0.050mm for 500mm lens
FARO Laser Tracker
Advanced, accurate, and versatile laser trackers
The FARO VantageS and VantageE Laser Trackers are extremely accurate, large-scale portable coordinate measuring machines that enable you to build products, optimize processes, and deliver solutions by measuring quickly, simply and precisely. These Laser Trackers set the standard in workflow productivity management for large-scale metrology applications by offering ease of use, exceptional portability, battery operation, ruggedness, and high accuracy.
- VantageS: 160m (525 ft.) spherical working volume
- VantageE: 70m (230 ft.) spherical working volume
- Accuracy up to 0.015mm (0.0006 in.)* [*Typical angle measurement performance at 2m]
- ActiveSeek™ feature finds and follows target even when you pass behind obstructions
