FARO GAGE Demonstration and Hands-On Workshop
 
Demonstration of the FARO GAGE, a "personal CMM" that is changing the landscape of high-precision product inspection worldwide.  The FARO GAGE's price point, accuracy, ease of use, reporting capabilities, and portability make it an appealing alternative to height gages, calipers, hard gages, and even some CMMs.  Attendees should bring sample parts, and will be given the opportunity to measure them using the FARO GAGE.
