FARO® BuildIT Projector Software

For planning and operating laser templating and verification workflows.


BuildIT Projector Software makes it possible by enabling in-process verification and feature-based alignment capabilities. The software serves as a powerful tool for generating, planning and operating imaging laser projection and verification workflows.
  • Creating projection plans directly from design data
    • Import 3D CAD files from native (CATIA® V4 V5, V6, Siemens NXTM, Parasolid®, CREO® (Pro/E), Inventor®, SolidWorks®, AutoCAD®), or neutral formats (IGES, STEP, SAT, JT) and use them to easily generate projection plans
    • Choosing to import native CAD preserves the highest fidelity and keeps the CAD names and tree structures, avoiding any potential conversion errors
  • Laser-assisted assembly
  • In-Process Verification (IPV)
  • Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection
  • Feature-based (targetless) alignment
  • Remote app running on any mobile or tablet device
  • Gamepad controller remote functionality
  • Login/logout commands and user level profiles
  • Automation, from UI drag-and-drop to full Python scripting, enabling Industry 4.0
    • Streamline repetitive or redundant workflows
    • Communication with external applications (light indicators, PLC, robots)

FARO BuildIT Projector Software is the world’s most complete Imaging Laser Projector software. Built on the popular BuildIT Metrology platform that has been serving manufacturers for over 20 years, BuildIT Projector features a modern and intuitive interface to generate, plan, and operate imaging laser projection and verification workflows.

BuildIT Projector Software enables the powerful and industry-unique features of the Tracer Laser Projectors, including In-Process Verification and Feature-Based Alignment in the TracerSI. These features make the Tracer Laser Projectors and BuildIT Projector Software the world’s only all-in-one solution for laser-assisted templating and verification.

BuildIT Projector has two components:

  1. BuildIT Projector Planner enables manufacturing engineers to set up laser templating and verification routines — including sequencing, part placement and verification.
  2. BuildIT Projector Operator is the software that the assemblers use during their workflows.
