A FARO Laser ScanArm 3-D is used to measure the speed-control wing of a Pratt & Miller Corvette C6RS Super Car.
The new Corvette C6RS was designed and engineered by Pratt & Miller Engineering using the FARO Laser ScanArm. Using the experience gained from years of unrivalled racing success, Pratt & Miller used racing technology to design a rear wing for the C6RS. This speed-control wing is designed to assist with down force at the super car’s top speed. Watch the video to see how the unique development problems were solved with the FARO Laser ScanArm.
JMac Tools needed a way to inspect their large power frames, which are used for drilling oil. This video showcases the versatility, accuracy, and ease-of-use of the FARO Laser Tracker over traditional measuring methods.

The U.S. Department of Labor does not recognize metrology as a profession. Neither the word "quality" or "metrologist" appear in the Standard Occupational Classification System. With very few young people going into metrology, U.S. manufacturing will face a severe lack of measurement and inspection professionals in the very near future.
