LAKE MARY, Fla., Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source
for 3D measurement, imaging and realization technology, announced
today it has released the new FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D
X 330.

Building on the success of the Focus3D, the new
Focus3D X 330 surpasses previous models in functionality
and performance. With a range almost three times greater than
previous models, the Focus3D X 330 can scan objects up
to 330 meters away and in direct sunlight. With its integrated GPS
receiver, the laser scanner is able to correlate individual scans
in post-processing making it ideal for surveying based
applications.
In addition, the Focus3D X 330 scan quality has been
increased and noise has been reduced, providing precise three
dimensional models in a photo-realistic style. These advances in
performance did not come at the expense of safety as the Focus3D X
330 includes a Class 1 "eye safe" laser.
"Its minimal weight, small size, touch-screen, SD-card and a
battery life of 4.5 hours make the Focus3D X 330
unbeatable and easy-to-use," said Dr. Bernd
Becker, Chief Technology Strategist for the new
Focus3D X 330. "No other provider can offer such a
technical achievement."
With its increased range and scan quality, the
Focus3D X 330 considerably reduces the effort involved
in measuring and post-processing. The 3D scan data can easily be
imported into all commonly used software solutions for accident
reconstruction, architecture, civil engineering, construction,
forensics, industrial manufacturing and land surveying. Distance
dimensions, area and volume calculations, analysis and inspection
tasks and documentation can thus be carried out quickly, precisely
and reliably.
