I checked last week... it was supposed to be released by now but FARO wants to improve accuracy more. Should be available later this year they said....hope so! Looks so much better than SLAM! And I have a S350 now.

Been a while since I first commented on this thread, but I too am still very interested in this development.

Wonder if this will require the "A" or Automation variant of the scanner or just a run of the mill S series. From the first image there doesn't appear to be any type of automation adapter plugged into the bottom interface, so my hunch says any S series will work.

I tested ScanPlan and found it completly unuseful for any engineering purposes.
If it works well in Swift - that would be great.

From what I've heard you will not need the automation option. *crosses fingers* My favorite feature is being able to switch from mobile to stationary for added detail on the fly. Once they seamlessly integrate color then this will be an amazing package!!!

Thanks for the info, and I agree that being able to switch from mobile to stationary will be tremendous. If this setup performs similarly to the SurphSLAM, then it will be a huge win for Faro and their user base. I wrote a little article a long time ago about it in days when I had more energy if you are interested: https://www.spar3d.com/blogs/guest-blog ... surphslam/
