3D measurement and imaging specialists FARO Technologies have announced the launch of the FARO Early Adopter (EA) Program. Under the program, select customers who are faced with accelerating technology cycles can benefit from early access to new FARO products created by the FARO Labs team, or FARO Innovation products. They will also have the unique opportunity to work one-on-one with FARO Labs engineers on future product improvements and new technologies.
To inaugurate the EA Program, FARO have announced the first in a long line of FARO Innovation products, the FARO BIM Scan Localizer. The scan localizer mounts under the FARO Focus laser scanner and makes continuous 2D scans to provide detailed registration information, removing the need for reference targets in overlap zones by users executing interior Building Information Modeling (BIM) scans.
While moving the FARO Focus laser scanner from one location to another, the scan localizer tracks the laser scanner’s location and the 3D scans are effortlessly stitched together to provide a complete interior building scan. This one-of-a-kind solution provides 3D scanning customers with efficiency gains of up to 2-5x over alternative solutions for BIM as-built capture applications.
Early Adopter Program subscribers in select countries can order the FARO BIM Scan Localizer now in advance of a rollout to our broader customer base in the second half of the year. FARO EA Program subscribers will receive a special introductory discount of 20% off the total list price if they order the new FARO BIM Scan Localizer bundled with a new FARO Focus Scanner by March 31, 2016.
“Our top priority remains a passionate commitment to innovative and disruptive research and development,” stated Dr. Simon Raab, President and CEO of FARO Technologies. “To further increase the value of these investments to our customers, we have decided to provide them early and accelerated access to disruptive products and ultimately provide the customers in our various vertical markets with unique productivity solutions.”
Customers can now pre-register for the program at www.faro.com/innovator.
