Paul JR.Designs FARO 30th Anniversary Bike
The FARO bike tturns out to be a statement of experience
and vision. Without having any pre-build drawings, the entire bike was conceived
on the fly without the client having a clue as to what the result would be. WIth
the years of experience and professionalism of the entire PJD team, it is no
wonder that the FARO bike left the client stunned. The FARO bike breaks away
from the chopper theme and revels in handling geometry. Sleek, long, and modern,
seem fitting for a high technology client like FARO.
Portable measurement and imaging solutions FARO celebrates
30 years of existence in 2011, so it has decided to mark this milestone by
having one of their own customers, Paul Jr. Designs, build a custom FARO-themed
chopper. The shop has already finished working on the custom chopper in
question, using the FaroArm during its fabrication.
Creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces quickly and efficiently is important for PJD. Some elements like the gas tank, seat pan and primary cover display the true craftsmanship that goes into every design. All of these have intricate shapes and contours that are difficult to capture or re-create by hand, FARO says in a statement for the press.
With the FaroArm they are able to digitize the exact shape and placement of components virtually eliminating the need to trace and create cardboard templates. The data collected with the arm can be immediately imported to the CNC machine or water-jet cutter to produce accurate pieces that will fit perfectly from the start, thus reducing scrap, saving time and boosting overall efficiency, the company further brags.
