Surfware & FARO Provide 'Design-to-Reality' Solutions
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Surfware, Inc., developer of
SURFCAM CAD/CAM Systems, has collaborated with FARO Technologies to provide
cutting edge solutions for Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM). One of many new
features in its latest service pack, SURFCAM now supports USB FaroARM products.
Surfware actively pursued developing this specific enhancement to further
augment SURFCAM's design-to-reality solutions.
"The SURFCAM and FARO alliance provides a seamless part digitizing to machining
solution," said Shaun Mymudes, Director of Product Management at FARO
Technologies. "Using SURFCAM to capture dimensional data, FARO portable
measurement arms provide our customers with a direct interface to a very
high-end CAM program."
The FaroARM interface for SURFCAM allows use of any FARO 6-Axis or 7-Axis
portable digitizer as an auxiliary pointing device to input 3D coordinate data
into an active SURFCAM session. It also allows SURFCAM users to freely
intermix digitized input with all other input modes. This facilitates model
creation, tool path generation, and material removal simulation in a single
environment, continuously displaying the FaroARM probe tip for graphical
verification.
"Users can create, edit, generate and simulate toolpaths, then machine complex
surface models all in a single setup without any file transfers," said Don
McKillop, President of CAM/CAD Technologies.
"The SURFCAM FaroARM interface is uniquely suited for reverse engineering of
complex 3D objects," continued McKillop, the author of the FaroARM USB
interface and a Surfware Sales Partner.
This interface now supports both serial and USB connectivity, enabling the
system to work with legacy and current FARO equipment. It includes a variety
of convenient coordinate alignment techniques, probe calibration, probe
changing within a session, system diagnostics, and a series of convenient
digitizing modes. Digitizing modes include discrete point input, lock-plane
input, streaming-coordinate mode input, and project-onto-plane input.
"We are proud to work with FARO Technologies to provide state of the art
'design-to-reality' solutions," commented Joe McChesney, Product Manager at
Surfware. "We will strive to continue offering enhancements to SURFCAM that
deliver the latest cutting edge technologies to our customers."
