FARO FOCUS3D named as a best new innovation by popular science magazine

The 2011 “Best of What’s New” list includes the laser scanner for its small size and use in forensic applications.

We are happy to announce that the FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D has been honoured with a Best of What’s New award by the Popular Science magazine. Each year, new products from almost every corner of industry – from consumer electronics to green technologies – are submitted to the publication’s editors for consideration. This year, FARO’s Focus3D has been named to that list of innovations.

“We’re thrilled that the Focus3D has been named to the Best of What’s New list, particularly when we consider the number of entries vying for the award,” said Jay Freeland, CEO of FARO Technologies. “FARO is constantly working to produce the most advanced products to improve our customers’ products and processes. In that respect, this is great recognition for us and them.” The laser scanner was considered for its use in forensic investigations, particularly by small police departments that might not otherwise be able to afford the technology. Its small size, robust functionality and ease-of-use make it the ideal solution for many applications in addition to forensics, including architecture, civil engineering and surveying.

Once again congratulations to the whole FARO Laser Scanner Team!
