LAKE MARY, Fla., March 31, 2015 /CNW/ -- FARO Technologies,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FARO), the world's most trusted source for 3D
measurement, imaging, and realization technology, announces the
release of the newly designed PointSense for Autodesk's Revit®
building design software. PointSense introduces breakthrough
functionality to significantly improve the evaluation and
conversion of point cloud data to Building Information Modeling
(BIM).
BIM has become a standard in the planning, building and
management of new facilities and Autodesk Revit® is one of the most
established BIM programs for the Architecture, Engineering and
Construction (AEC) industry. FARO's latest software release
accelerates and simplifies the analysis and design of laser scan
data directly in Autodesk Revit®.
"PointSense is FARO's first software release following our
recent acquisition of kubit™ and upholds FARO's strategy to be a
leader in the AEC market," stated Jay
Freeland, FARO's President and CEO. "As BIM continues to be
an established requirement in the construction industry, we
recognize the need to provide customers with a complete field to
finish solution. PointSense enhances the architectural design
process by simplifying the extraction of BIM models to point
clouds. This is merely the beginning of FARO's efforts to greatly
enhance scan-to-BIM workflows."
PointSense users will experience additional functionality
compared to traditional native Autodesk Revit® tools previously
available to the market. Some of the new features include:
extraction and alignment of architectural walls, creation of Revit®
family types such as doors, windows, beams, construction lines and
ground models, real 3D snap-to-point clouds, plane detection and
scaled ortho-image generation.
PointSense will be available to users beginning May 4th, 2015. For more information on PointSense
