Issues with Faro Quantum S and LLP

Hi everyone! My first post here.

My company recently purchased a Faro Quantum S arm with laser line probe. We were looking to retrofit our old Starrett CMM originally, but the price tag was a little too high. We were sold on the tales that it could easily and quickly measure the kinds of parts we make. The demos were quite convincing, and testimonials were glowing.

However, we've had nothing but bad results from it. A key item we make has a new tooling PPAP coming up, and when I got the program written (we have PolyWorks with it) and scanned an older part in, all but 2 or 3 of 140 odd dimensions showed out of spec. I've watched tutorials. Even had someone from our neighboring shop come by to help. I'm at a loss. The "noise" from the scans is astounding. I'm trying to get a Faro service person out and time it with a conference call to PolyWorks to figure this out.

I just wondered if anyone else had such difficulties, and if so, what their solution was. Any helpful hints will be greatly appreciated!
