Following are examples of applications of Platinum Faro Arm, courtesy of FARO Technologies:

AeroSpace
The construction of modern day aircraft pushes the boundaries of engineering and materials. Levels of precision in the manufacturing of aircraft allow lighter weight construction also saving time and money by reducing scrap of costly materials and improving the fit during final assembly. Faro's huge success in the Aerospace Industry comes from product innovations leading the world in the field of portable metrology. From assembly of complete aircraft to jig and fixture alignment and inspection FARO delivers the worlds most advanced solutions for measuring large parts with never before seen accuracies from a portable device.

Automotive
The Automotive Industry has seen a huge adoption of Faro's patented technology. From part inspection in Quality Assurance to Robot Calibration, Engine Construction almost every major component being fitted to a vehicle can now be verified against the design directly in the production environment. For custom vehicles and Formula 1 alike, 3-D measurement capabilities available on the shop floor have never before been so accurate.
Boats & Yachts
Whether faring the sides of a racing yacht, replacing teak decking and other 2-D templates, aligning prop shafts or inspecting entire fiberglass molds FARO has the answers for yacht construction.
Consumer Goods
From rapid turnaround of designs to reduced cutting cycles, from large variety of precision tooling to complex free form shapes, the field of consumer goods has seen dramatic improvements thanks to the Faro Arm product lines.
Forensics & Accident Research
Crime and accident scenes undergo lengthy investigations, however the scene spoils or needs to be cleared in a relatively short period of time. Therefore the quality of the data captured immediately following the incident is crucial to the accuracy of the reconstruction.
Furniture
FARO solutions can be applied to furniture and household improvements in various different ways. Wooden furniture can be inspected to ensure an accurate fit when assembled, antique items can be reverse engineered in order to preserve their form and to create accurate replicas, the fabrication of kitchen equipment can be greatly improved using 2-D templating technology. The template can simply be exported and sent to a CNC machine tool making accurate cuts in expensive materials used in the countertop industry, such as granite. The essence of FARO solutions is portability, meaning that no matter where the measurements are required we will have a suitable solution.
Heavy Equipment
Manufacturers of heavy equipment such as military vehicles, earthmovers and agricultural machinery have adopted Faro's measurement solutions to measure parts. Not having to move these cumbersome parts saves both time and costs. FARO solutions are also able to operate in difficult environments (even right on the machine tool bed) where varying temperature and dirty conditions cause alternative systems difficulties.
Medical Systems
FARO Technologies has its origins in the medical field, where Faro Arms are being employed in orthopedics to capture form data during complex procedures.
Metal Fabrication
Faro's solutions can be applied to almost any area of metal fabrication, the determining factors as to the most suitable solution are the size of the part and the accuracy of the inspection required. Feature measurements and inspection against nominal data can all be performed using the Faro Arm, whereas to perform direct surface comparisons or to reverse engineer the addition of a Laser Scanner will allow more points to be captured giving a higher density of data and more information on the part's surface form.
