LAKE MARY, Fla., Aug. 8, 2016 /CNW/ -- FARO® (NASDAQ:FARO), the
world's most trusted source for 3D measurement and imaging
solutions for metrology, factory automation, product design, public
safety, BIM/CIM and 3D solutions and services, announces the launch
of the FARO® Forensic ScanArm solution, a tailored offering for
crime lab and forensic anthropology applications.

The Forensic ScanArm solution consists of a FusionM
ScanArm, coupled with 3D Systems' Geomagic® software and 3D
printing solutions to enable high resolution, non-contact scanning
of forensic artifacts. The system features optically superior blue
laser technology, combined with fast 3D scanning speed, to perform
non-destructive, non-contact scanning of forensic artifacts, which
are often fragile. This powerful solution simplifies workflows so
users can 3D print replications of forensic artifacts to be used
for solving crimes and in courtroom presentations. For forensic
anthropology applications, users can perform tasks such as facial
reconstruction and analysis using data from cranial scans. FARO
will market this unique solution to forensics customers exclusively
bundled with Geomagic software.
"The FARO Forensic ScanArm solution is ideally suited toward the
unique requirements of forensic anthropologists, crime labs,
coroners and medical examiners," stated Joe
Arezone, Chief Commercial Officer of FARO. "By combining
FARO's best-in-class 3D scanning technology with 3D Systems
Geomagic software offerings, the Forensic ScanArm provides a
turnkey solution to digitize intricate forensic evidence. This
solution allows users to piece together forensic evidence into a
digital record for the purpose of victim identification, and
ultimately in solving and prosecuting crimes. Our Forensic ScanArm
solution allows law enforcement to perform analysis with greater
accuracy and in a fraction of the time that would be required
versus conventional measurement and photographic methods. By 3D
printing replicas of the evidence, compelling courtroom
presentations can be put together."
Mr. Arezone added, "By listening to our rapidly growing base of
Public Safety - Forensics customers, we have learned that
thoroughly measuring and analyzing forensic evidence is of
paramount importance. Our non-contact measurement tools allow
forensic labs to meet this requirement while minimizing the risk of
damaging the evidence. It is now possible to produce accurate and
permanent 3D digital documentation of evidence from which
measurements can be taken and analysis can be performed days or
even decades later. Through a deep understanding of our customers'
workflows, we can ensure that FARO's solutions are optimized for
application-specific demands."
The FARO Forensic ScanArm solution is an important addition to
FARO's growing Public Safety - Forensics portfolio, which includes
the Focus3D X series of laser scanners and
Freestyle3D handheld scanner, along with FARO's Reality
and CADZone software that are used in crime scene investigations
and traffic accident reconstructions worldwide. Hundreds of public
safety and law enforcement agencies have placed their trust in FARO
to provide innovative, reliable, and accurate solutions.
