FARO Presents New Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit

FARO Presents New Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit

March 26, 2007

    LAKE MARY, Fla., March 26 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- FARO
Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: FARO), the world market leader
in portable computer-aided measurement arm and laser
tracker sales, today announced that it has developed a
Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit.

    "Nearly every application requires a laser scanner
to be repositioned in order to get a comprehensive
view," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said.
"The new Super Mobile Kit makes scanning faster and
more productive by enabling our customers to take it
anywhere -- whether they're hiking through forests or rough
terrain like in civil engineering, tunnels and mines,
forensic scenes or archaeological excavations."

    The FARO Laser Scanner LS 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.

    The Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit capitalizes on the
FARO LS' compact design. The Kit includes:

    -- A carbon-fiber tripod, for a super-sturdy, yet light
weight
       setup of the Laser Scanner from 69 cm to 180 cm

    -- New Wi-Fi/WLAN Scanner Connection enables users to
control
       scanning from their PDA, mobile phone, laptop or
other
       Internet-equipped devices, eliminating dependence on
heavy
       laptops with limited battery life

    -- A scanner-based web server, which gives scanning
control to
       as many as different users as needed - without
additional
       license fees

    -- The Laser Scanner Rucksack (back pack) enables the
user to
       conveniently load and  carry the Laser Scanner and
the
       carbon-fiber tripod over long distances or confined
spaces

    "With the Super Mobile Kit, FARO offers its
customers a major advancement in ease of use, mobility and
professional handling," Dr. Bernd-Dietmar Becker,
FARO's Director for Marketing & Product Management for
Laser Scanning, said. "The Wi-Fi/WLAN minimizes
cables, which makes the FARO LS simpler to use, faster to
set up, safer on the plant floor, and maintains the
integrity of crimes scenes and archaeological sites."

Scanner Kit available in April 2007, visit
