(FARO: Lake Mary, FL) -- FARO Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D measurement, imaging, and realization technology, announced 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 because the Focus3D X 330 includes a Class 1 “eye safe” laser.

 “Its minimal weight, small size, touchscreen, SD-card, and a battery life of 4.5 hours make the Focus3D X 330 unbeatable and easy to use,” says Bernd Becker, chief technology strategist for the Focus3D X 330. “No other provider can offer such a technical achievement.”
