FARO announces the release of the all-new Professional laser ScanArm V3. This new version of the already popular FARO Laser Line Professional probe delivers the latest improvements in performance and portability. With 30-percent more accuracy, 33-percent lighter weight, and better performance in scanning dark or reflective surfaces than our V2 model, the new V3 takes non-contact measurements to the next level.

"The V3 marks our third version of the Laser ScanArm product line and the third new product launch in four months," FARO President and CEO Jay Freeland said. "Although the Quantum and Fusion FaroArms and ScanArm all appeal to different markets, one thing they have in common is that all were born from feedback on what our customers need to succeed in the global marketplace."

Introduced in 2003, the FARO Laser ScanArm was the first-ever seven-axis contact/non-contact measurement device with a fully integrated laser scanner manufacturers. Now, when paired with the Bluetooth® capability of the Quantum FaroArm, the Laser ScanArm V3 is the first ever wireless portable arm and laser scanning system. It enables users to collect simple point variations with the Arm's hard probe, then laser scan sections requiring larger volumes of data - without the wasted time of adding or removing attachments, untangling cabling, or having to use and import data from a separate CMM.
