LAKE MARY, Fla., March 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), announces the achievement of
another milestone in cloud-based as-built data management with the
release of version 2.0 of its well-known web hosting service, SCENE
WebShare Cloud. SCENE WebShare Cloud 2.0 is the first cloud based
software unleashing the power of fluid 3D viewing of 3D laser scan
data within a simple and easy to use website.
For applications within the fields of BIM, architecture, and
construction information management (CIM), user-friendly access to
reliable as-is information of buildings, plants and construction
sites is essential. Users also need immediate access to this data
at the office, on the job-site or in transit.
SCENE WebShare Cloud 2.0 provides easy-to-use 3D viewing of
as-built data over the Internet. No dedicated software or hardware
is needed and it can be used on almost any modern mobile device,
including tablet computers and smart phones. With an Internet
connection and a web browser being the only access requirements,
SCENE WebShare Cloud provides users with the mobility and
accessibility that is required to support their applications within
Building Information Modeling (BIM) processes and asset
management.
By having real 3D as-built data available at any point in time,
independent from where a user sits, SCENE WebShare Cloud 2.0
delivers a number of measurable benefits to FARO's customers. All
project partners have access to identical 3D as-built data. The use
of incomplete or outdated drawings can be avoided and by having the
right data at one's fingertips, decisions can be made easier,
faster and with more certainty. Whenever engineers, builders and
non-CAD-experts need to collaborate, using life-like point cloud
data as a means of communication has proven to be more intuitive
and less prone to misinterpretations than abstract CAD models.
SCENE WebShare Cloud 2.0 provides the clarity of true 3D viewing to
understand and analyze complex on-site conditions. This enables
customers to virtually immerse themselves into an existing
environment and offers a more direct way of understanding on-site
conditions. With its unique contributions, SCENE WebShare Cloud 2.0
will ultimately help reduce expensive rework and project delays due
to outdated data throughout the whole building life-cycle.
"More than two years ago, FARO established SCENE WebShare Cloud
as the most innovative cloud-based product for sharing 3D
Documentation data," stated Dr. Simon
Raab, FARO's President and CEO. "With the release of SCENE
WebShare Cloud 2.0, we now provide easy-to-use access to complete
3D viewing over the Internet, supporting FARO's strategy to make 3D
laser scanning a de-facto standard in architecture, construction
information management and Building Information Modeling (BIM). We
recognize and are addressing market demand for easy-to-use access
to 3D scan data for non-expert users."
WebShare Cloud is closely integrated with FARO's desktop
software SCENE. As a cloud-based service all updates and
enhancements are automatically available to any user.
