FARO^® Tracer Laser Projectors for Construction

Accurate projection of laser outlines for positioning, assembly and verification

Using physical templates and shop drawings for building construction is cumbersome, time-consuming and prone to error. But FARO Tracer Laser Projectors project the original CAD or other model — the single source of truth — directly onto building materials, ensuring quick and accurate positioning, assembly and verification. Manufacturers have relied on these tools for more than 20 years. Now, we’re bringing these technical advantages to the construction and prefabrication industries, along with our deep metrology expertise and our exclusive capability to integrate the projectors into construction workflows.

Business Value of Tracer Laser Projectors

Build with Confidence

Use Tracer Laser Projectors to bring a new level of assurance to operations in the prefab factory or even in the field.

Minimize Scrap

The accuracy of laser outlines saves money and keeps projects “green.”

Save Time

The efficiencies gained can save weeks on every prefabrication project.

Reduce Labor

Using projected laser outlines requires far less work than physical templates, resulting in significant cost savings.

Enable Business Growth

Tracer Laser Projectors help you finish more projects in less time.

Keep Building Owners and Tenants Happy

The high-quality construction process results in a building everyone can feel good about.

Tracer Laser Projectors By Performance Level

Tracer Laser Projector Features

3D CAD-based Virtual Templating

Use virtual templating in a variety of construction and prefabrication applications.

Exceptional Projection Accuracy

Project with accuracy of 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) at 4.6 m (15 ft.).

Workflow Automation

Use Tracer Laser Projectors with BuildIT Construction Software and BuildIT Projector Software to automate workflow.

Long-range Projection

Achieve accurate, variable and long-range projection (up to 15.2 m).

Advanced Trajectory Control (ATC)

Ensure fast projection, superior dynamic accuracy and rapid refresh with minimized flicker.

Multi-projector Array

Operate several laser projectors from a single workstation; ideal for large assemblies and space-constrained areas.

Rugged, Reliable Design

Work with the protection of the device’s dust-sealed industrial enclosure and active thermal management.

In-process Verification

Verify work at quality-assurance checkpoints during and after critical assembly processes.

Feature-based (Targetless) Alignment

Align projections to checkerboard targets or compare known features of an object to the CAD model for an alignment process that’s faster and easier, eliminating the time and effort of setting up targets for projection.

Foreign Object and Debris (FOD) Detection

Gain even greater quality assurance.

Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Applications

Fast, Accurate Construction Prefabrication

Project a CAD model directly onto a workstation or jig to expedite welding, assembly and fixturing placement throughout your prefab factory or modular construction facility. Tracer Laser Projectors help you build structural systems and modular frames, construct floor and wall panels, install MEP systems in modular units, and then verify that all the parts are placed correctly.
