The fact that Faro designs and produces its own proprietary CAD-CAM software (Pigreco) in-house is one of the brand’s most strategic advantages. Unlike companies that rely on generic or third-party platforms, Faro offers a fully integrated ecosystem, where software and hardware are developed side by side to achieve maximum performance, reliability, and ease of use.

Here’s why this makes a difference:

• Perfect synchronization between machine movements and design functions, reducing errors and increasing precision

• User-friendly interface tailored specifically to jewelry and eyewear manufacturing workflows

• Fast updates and custom features, developed directly in response to real customer needs

• One single point of support for both the machine and the software — no finger-pointing between suppliers

• Greater security and control, with no dependency on external licensing or compatibility risks

• Streamlined file handling and automation, for faster setup and repeatable processes

This synergy results in more efficient production, fewer technical issues, and a shorter learning curve for operators. It also means that innovations in the software are immediately available to enhance machine functionality, giving Faro clients a real competitive edge.

FARO emphasizes Italian technology and innovation in their engineering process, combining digital precision with human creativity. This commitment to “Made in Italy Innovation” signifies a dedication to high standards of design, engineering, and manufacturing quality, positioning FARO CNC machines as a product of advanced European manufacturing expertise.
