PR Newswire (US)
LAKE MARY, Fla., March 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:FARO), the world market leader in
portable computer-aided measurement arm and laser tracker sales,
today announced that it released FARO Scene v4.1, which offers
faster workflow and improved quality for its Laser Scanner LS
product. "FARO Scene is our user-friendly software for viewing,
administrating, calibrating, filtering and managing large, 3-D
point clouds collected with our Laser Scanner LS," FARO President
and CEO Jay Freeland said. "Version 4.1 increases productivity by
dramatically reducing the amount of on-site scanning time, and
enables users to process and present their results more
effectively." The FARO Laser Scanner is a portable, computerized
measurement device that scans, digitally recreates and records all
of an object or area's dimensions, creating what looks like a
"photograph" on the computer screen -- but in 3-D. The captured
data can be used to create a digital model for inspection,
reverse-engineering, CAD-to-part comparison, factory planning, or
investigations for industries ranging from power, process and
piping to forensics, surveying and historical preservation.
Enhancements in FARO Scene v4.1 include: * New Wi-Fi/WLAN Scanner
Connection enables users to control scanning from their PDA, mobile
phone, laptop or other Internet Explorer-equipped devices *
Advanced noise reduction for cleaner scans * More than 86% faster
Color Capture speed (2-3 minutes versus 15 minutes) for very high
quality and automatic overlays of 50 million color pixels * Fully
automatic Color Scan White Balancing for improved contrast and
clarity * New color bracket and calibration method minimizes
parallax errors and maximizes the fit of color on 3-D shapes *
Compatibility with NIKON D70s or NIKON D200 cameras for color
scanning * Automatic filter action improves scan quality and
dramatically shortens post processing time * New Draw-to-CAD
feature enables users to create 3-D AutoCad drawings on the fly
just by sketching lines in FARO Scene's Photo-View * CAD files may
now be imported not only in VRML2, but also VRML1 "FARO Scene v4.1
brings several major benefits to our customers and expands on our
unique solution for professionals in laser scanning," said Dr.
Bernd-Dietmar Becker, FARO's Director of Marketing & Product
Management for Laser Scanning. "Our test customers are very excited
about the new features -- especially the ability to scan with a
handheld Wi-Fi device, and create AutoCad drawings." The upgrade is
available for free to existing LS customers with v4. For more
