FARO Introduces New Generation of Best-in-Class 3D Laser Scanners and Software

DENVER, March 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FARO, the world's leading provider
of portable measurement and imaging systems, has announced that delivery of a
new generation of 3D laser scanners will begin in the second quarter of 2009.
Two new models, the FARO Laser Scanner Photon 120 and 20, both feature
measuring rates of up to 976,000 points-per-second. The 120 also offers an
unprecedented operating range of up to 153 meters (503ft.) making it the
longest-range phase-shift laser scanner in the world. The Photon 20, in
comparison, has been designed for scanning objects within a range of 20
meters. The recent innovation provides an eightfold increase in speed and a
double unambiguity interval compared to the previous generation FARO
offerings.

The Company also announced the upcoming release of FARO Scene V4.6, the latest
version of its scan processing software, which accelerates the registration of
scans by 90 percent compared to manual completion.

FARO is presenting the market's fastest 3D laser scanner and its new
processing software at the SPAR 2009 conference in Denver from March 29th to
April 1st. In conjunction with the new system offerings, an upgrade path from
previous generation FARO laser scanners will be available to current users.

"Large imaging assignments such as 3D documentation of shop floors or
buildings require hundreds of scans and a significant investment of time and
resources," said Jay Freeland, FARO Chief Executive Officer. "To remain
cost-effective, such large projects must be completed as quickly as possible
without sacrificing quality of the output. The new Photon laser scanners
greatly enhance both the productivity and quality equations for our
customers."

"The long range of the Photon 120 reduces the need to reposition the device,"
stated Dr. Bernd Becker, Director of Laser Scanner Marketing & Product
Management for FARO.

The FARO Scene V4.6 software automates registration of the data captured by
the scanner, that is, its target recognition, naming and matching.

"Instead of returning to the office to manually register scans and overlay
them with color, FARO Scene V4.6 allows users to complete the process
on-the-spot or, overnight through batch processing," added Dr. Becker. "As a
result, in an average imaging project involving 300 scans, labor input can be
reduced from several days to only a few hours for end control and
troubleshooting."
