FARO Technologies, Inc announced their new Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit. The FARO Laser Scanner LS is a portable measurement device which is able to scan and then digitally recreates and record an object to give an allusion of "photograph" on the computer screen - but in 3-D. It can be used for reverse-engineering, CAD-to-part comparison, factory planning. The Super Mobile Laser Scanner Kit available in April 2007 and for more info visit www.faro.com

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
