FARO Technologies announced it has released the new FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D X 330.

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 useful for surveying based applications.

In addition, scan quality has been increased and noise has been reduced, providing precise three dimensional models in a photo-realistic style.

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