Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source
for 3D measurement technology, today announced the newest and most

customers who require a high-accuracy, contact-only measurement
solution for everyday inspection and quality assurance
routines.

Available in four lengths from six to twelve feet (1.8m to
3.7m), the FARO Prime promises accuracies as tight as .019 mm
(.0007 in.). This newest FaroArm is also Bluetooth® equipped,
eliminating the need to tether the device to a laptop. An
extended-use battery and composite material construction ensure
shop floor durability, day after day. Together, these features make
the Prime the ideal solution for basic measurements in inspection,
reverse engineering, CAD-to-part analysis and anywhere else a
high-accuracy, hard-probing measurement solution is needed.
The Prime joins the Fusion and the Edge, FARO's flagship and
most advanced measurement arm, in the industry-leading FaroArm
line. The FARO Edge continues to deliver exclusive features like a
touch screen, on-board operating system and the industry's smallest
and lightest handheld laser scanner, the FARO Laser Line Probe
(LLP). "Customer need and input is the driving force behind
innovation at FARO," explained Orlando
Perez, Director of Product Management for the FaroArm. "Our
customers demanded greater accuracy for routine contact measurement
applications, without many of the added features or 3D scanning
capabilities you'd find in the Edge. The result is the Prime. It's
accurate, durable, easy-to-use and provides the solution that much
of the marketplace has been asking for."
The Prime is compatible with FARO's CAM2 Measure 10 software and
others, and is available now from FARO Technologies. "We're excited
to introduce the Prime to the market. This is the most accurate
FaroArm available, offered at an unmatched value," said
Jay Freeland, FARO's Chief Executive
Officer. "This newest FaroArm delivers outstanding performance and
makes our innovative technology accessible to a whole new group of
potential customers. We think they're going to love the Prime."
