FARO has announced the availability of the FARO Visual Inspect product family. This innovative platform enables large, complex 3D CAD data to be transferred to an iPad and then used for mobile visualization and comparison to real world conditions. To watch an overview video, go to https://tech.faro.com/visual-inspect. This enables real-time actionable manufacturing insight through earlier stage error detection in the production, construction or design processes.
Based on intelligent functions, FARO Visual Inspect is the fastest way to check details of interest versus your 3D data. (PRNewsfoto/FARO)

Visual Inspect is a true next-generation solution as it moves 3D CAD viewing away from the traditional desktop PC to a mobile “in hand, on demand” solution. The 3D CAD data is stored locally on the iPad through an innovative, compressed, mobile format which provides an exceptional degree of flexibility and mobility that together drive increased productivity. The end user is able to document problems and errors with text and images and then easily export both into a Microsoft Excel office document.

The Visual Inspect product family offers two exceptional value options.
- Visual Inspect: enables intuitive mobile viewing, verification and documentation of complex 3D data
- Visual Inspect AR: enables complex 3D data to be overlaid and compared to actual data in real time
The integrated iPad camera supports Visual Inspect AR as a more cost-effective alternative to other Augmented Reality (AR) products that require expensive cameras.
The Visual Inspect product family can be ready for use via a simple three step process that includes first downloading the iPad application from the Apple Apps store, calibrating the iPad and then activating the application with the calibration file.
Visual inspection of the as-built part or assembly is easily facilitated in real time using a CAD data overlay onto an image of the as-built object or assembly. (PRNewsfoto/FARO)
The Visual Inspect family is available now for quoting and ordering.
