FARO CAM2

FARO CAM2 software for measuring prismatic shapes. It is used by tube fabrication customers on FARO arms along with VTube-LASER to measure components around tube shapes. Customers measure tube shapes quickly with VTube-LASER with the laser scanner, then output parametric tube data to CAM2. This version of CAM2 software released in 2011 (See FARO news release).

CAM2 Measure 10 and VTube-LASER Working Together

Exporting from VTube to CAM2

Since year 2010, FARO has started selling VTube-LASER as their primary tube measuring software package. (FARO is the exclusive distributor for VTube-LASER in North and South America.) VTube-LASER can export CAM2 Measure 10 parametric tube files for measuring brackets and components around the tube. See also the VTube-LASER knowledgebase page The CAM2 Measure 10 image on the bottom right shows a VTube-LASER demo tube that has been imported from VTube-LASER. The tube shapes can be imported as NOMINAL (VTube MASTER), or ACTUAL (VTube MEASURED). When importing actual or measured, it is possible to quickly scan a tube with VTube, then continue with measuring components around the tube in CAM2. The method is to leave the tube in the same location when measuring in two programs. The correct position in space relative to the base of the arm is then transferred into CAM2 Measure 10.

CAM2Q (release about 2008)

This version of CAM2 software released in 2008 (See FARO news release). This version has not been tested for communication with any of our software.

CAM2 Measure X - (released about 2005)

CAM2 Measure X1 was released in 2005 (See FARO news release). It can output text files for communication with our Benderlink for FARO software.

Communications between CAM2 Measure X and benders is through the EXPORT - XYZ - TXT feature to Benderlink for FARO software.
