FARO Implements Tebis Software for FaroArm
Coventry - 19th November 2007 - FARO, the world market leader in portable coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) now offers a link to Tebis software for the FaroArm. This application will be shown - using a Lamborghini body - at Euromold, the world fair for moldmaking and tooling, design and application development from 5th to 8th December in Frankfurt, Germany.
Kai Gartling, Senior Regional Manager of FARO and responsible for the Tebis project, explains, "We are pleased to present this software solution in Frankfurt as customers have repeatedly expressed the need to link the FaroArm to the Tebis software. Test series with users - including the toolmaking department of Volkswagen - were successful. The solution enables the user to transfer the scan data of the tools directly into the tool coordinate system for further processing without using a third-party software."
Tebis RSC is regarded as one of the best surface reverse engineering packages for designed surfaces on the market and convinces in particular through its easy handling. So it was a logical step to link this technology to the flexible scanning system of the FaroArm. This now provides an extremely quick and accurate solution if surfaces are missing or current data is not available. This is applicable for repairs in tool manufacturing as well as for the production of all kinds of duplicates.
Digitizing of 3D objects and surface creation are very easy with Tebis: Connect FARO Laser ScanArm to Tebis, calibrate probe and scanner - and start scanning the object. Afterwards the scan data is edited in Tebis and built with RSC surfaces.
