(FARO, Lake Mary, FL; Creaform: Lévis, QC) -- Faro Technologies and Creaform, businesses of AMETEK Inc., announce a major new chapter in their evolutions that will reframe how industries approach metrology and reality capture.

The combination of FARO’s 3D measurement business segment with Creaform gives rise to FARO CREAFORM, a business unit delivering rigorous dimensional measurement solutions providing practical certainty so manufacturing and maintenance teams can act decisively. In parallel, FARO’s reality-capture business segment will become FARO INSIGHT, a business unit that will focus on delivering world-class reality-capture solutions transforming the physical world into actionable insights that teams can trust. By design, this reorganization should deliver greater value to customers, accelerate innovation, and create synergies that support growth and long-term growth.

Under the leadership of Fanny Truchon, FARO CREAFORM aims to make metrology more mobile, usable, and transformative, giving manufacturers better outcomes, a superior experience and a single point of contact for the complete portfolio. Led by Dietmar Wennemer, alongside Virtek Vision, FARO INSIGHT will deliver a reality-capture ecosystem that moves teams from field data to impact, enabling seamless capture, point-cloud conversion, and data management and sharing for digital-twin workflows encompassing architecture, engineering, construction, and operations as well as public safety and geospatial.

Truchon, FARO CREAFORM business unit manager, says, “FARO CREAFORM is more than a consolidation. By combining the strength of two leaders, we’re opening possibilities that will empower industries to move from hindsight to foresight. FARO CREAFORM aims to become the undisputed leader in portable metrology.”

Dietmar Wennemer, business unit manager at FARO INSIGHT and Virtek Vision, says, “FARO INSIGHT’s approach is simple: We want to digitize the world. Our hardware and software solutions reduce ambiguity to help track building progress, document changes, digitize crime scenes, structures, mines, forests, and landscapes to provide insights customers can build on.”

Building on FARO’s 40-plus years of leadership in 3D measurement and reality capture, and Creaform’s handheld metrology innovation since 2002, this next phase introduces a unified structure designed to ensure continuity, provide clear, timely information, and maintain the trust of customers and partners alike.
