FARO Technologies, manufacturer for 3D measurement, imaging, and realisation technology, has announced the acquisition of Kubit, specialised in the development of software for surveying and as-built documentation. The take-over also includes substantially all of the assets of its US distributor Kubit USA.

Located in Dresden, Germany, Kubit has been developing field-proven software products to enable and simplify the use of real world objects in CAD applications since 1999. Initially launched to link total stations directly to AutoCAD, today Kubit is a leading company in providing tools to integrate 3D laser scan data with CAD environments such as Autodesk Revit and AutoCAD. Kubit’s software is hardware independent, giving customers the flexibility to utilise any hardware offering, thus ensuring maximum productivity.

Kubit software is used in a large number of applications, including BIM, archaeology, architecture, plant survey, construction, built heritage conservation and surveying.

The acquisition of Kubit is an exciting step in FARO’s strategy to develop integrated, disruptive 3D documentation product offerings for the architecture, engineering and construction market, stated Jay Freeland, FARO’s president and CEO. By adding Kubit’s products to the FARO portfolio, customers now have significantly enhanced software options to serve a vast array of point cloud modelling, analysis needs, and measurement capabilities with very high connectivity to the Autodesk suite of products, Freeland added.
