FARO Delivers 6 Photon Laser Scanners to Quantapoint
LAKE
MARY, FL, Nov 19, 2008 - FARO (Nasdaq: FARO), the world leader in
computer-aided measurement and imaging innovations, sold six high
performance Photon Laser Scanners to Quantapoint, a leading provider
of laser scanning software and analysis, quality control,
documentation and decision-support services. "FARO's primary
value-add is providing a broad range of measurement technologies to
support our customers' operations," said David Morse, FARO SVP and
Managing Director for the Americas. "In this case, Quantapoint is
integrating our Photon laser scanners with their own Laser Model
technology and software to help their customers eliminate
preventable project defects."
Citing a high demand for zero-defect services using laser
scanning, Quantapoint immediately deployed all six systems for
global projects with scopes ranging from entire process plants and
buildings to offshore platforms and nuclear facilities.
"FARO has a long history of successful measurement technologies,"
said Eric Hoffman, Founder of Quantapoint. "The very clear and
'crisp' output from the FARO Photon makes it ideal to supplement our
existing laser scanner technology and create high-resolution
facility Laser Models that can be accessed directly using PRISM 3D
or within various CAD packages using QuantaCAD ."
The Photon, released to the public on February 26, 2008, is the
third in FARO's series of high performance laser scanners.
Engineered for surveyors, architects, plant managers and accident
investigators, FARO laser scanners provide a fast, simple method for
the 3D data capture and measurement of large objects and
environments with exceptional detail.
Quantapoint has performed more than 1,200 projects and 150,000
incident-free man-hours for architectural firms, engineering and
construction companies, offshore platforms, power plants and process
facilities.

About Quantapoint Laser Models
Laser Models ( are a unique Quantapoint technology that
integrates all laser scan data to provide detailed, high-definition
3D solid "models" of a facility. Laser Models offer clear advantages
over older "point cloud" technology, whose sparse data make it
difficult to visualize or understand the facility and more likely to
miss critical design details. For more information about Quantapoint
