FARO Announces Updates to Focus Laser Scanning Solution


For Boosted Productivity and Cost Savings
FARO Announces Updates to Focus Laser Scanning Solution

FARO® Technologies is proud to announce updates to the Focus laser scanning portfolio. As part of our commitment to innovation, excellence, and responding to customer input, the Focus product line offers an end-to-end 3D laser scanning solution with intuitive software offerings for easy data acquisition and quick decision-making.

When you invest in a Focus, you’re investing in a complete solution for 3D laser scanning that boosts productivity, saves time, and reduces rework.

A Comprehensive 3D Scanning Solution

Purchasing a Focus package means investing in a complete 3D laser scanning solution that offers faster time to data, without leaving the field. Whether you’re scanning for geospatial, construction, engineering, or public safety applications, the Focus scanner paired with the FARO Stream App, FARO SCENE Software, and the FARO Sphere® XG Digital Reality Platform ensures enhanced workflow efficiency, allowing you to gather better data faster and then work with it and share it efficiently.

    Scan for Multiple Applications

  • As-built documentation
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM)
  • Industrial facility management
  • Infrastructure projects
  • Construction quality control
  • Geospatial applications
  • Historic preservation
  • Crash and crime scene evidence collection
  • 3D metrology

Hardware Improvements

We’ve made some upgrades to the Focus to enhance precision and provide a better scanning experience.

Improved Scanning Range

    The Focus Premium Max boasts an extended range of up to 400 meters. This significant increase in range over previous Focus models enables you to capture data from larger structures and use the scanner for broader geospatial applications, such as infrastructure surveys, topographical mapping, stockpile volume calculations, and more.

    The Focus Premium and Focus Core provide ranges of 200 meters and 100 meters, respectively.

    Speed and Efficiency with Flash Technology

    All models of the Focus scanner allow you to take Flash Technology scans when you need speed and traditional scans when you need detail. Flash scans, which use a panoramic camera, boost field productivity by over 50%, significantly reducing the time spent on site. Surveying professionals can generate dense point clouds with Hybrid Reality Capture, capturing approximately 23 million points per scan.*

Real-Time Scanning Insights with FARO Stream App

No more “scanning blind” when on the job site! The FARO Stream App features pre-registration capabilities in the field, allowing you to efficiently plan scans and view captured data in real time before leaving the site. An overview map provides a comprehensive view of all scanned areas, ensuring no detail is overlooked, even outside the scanner’s direct line of sight.

Software Improvements

Apps and software by FARO simplify data management and sharing, enabling quick decision-making and streamlined workflows.

    Fast, Efficient Data Management with FARO Sphere XG

    Compatible with the Focus and data gathered with the FARO Orbis Mobile Laser Scanner, Sphere XG unifies all reality capture data on one platform for effortless collaboration, analysis, and progress management. From the Stream App, users can send data to Sphere XG for data sharing from the field to the office.

    Enhanced Data Processing in FARO SCENE Software

    FARO SCENE Software offers a faster processing time than previous software versions with the interactive registration tool. Capable of easily handling over 1000 scans, SCENE Software allows you to blend different registration methods to optimize outcomes and benefit from significantly reduced processing times. With streamlined operations, advanced scanning becomes accessible to all, regardless of specialized expertise.

    In the Cloud or Offline — Store Data Your Way

    You have the option to store your data in the cloud or keep it offline, depending on your business needs. Data can be uploaded to Sphere XG for quick decision-making, project management, and sharing with key stakeholders — or it can be processed offline in FARO SCENE Software.

Choose the Package to Fit Your Needs

The Focus Premium Laser Scanning solution comes in three models to suit your needs: the Focus Premium Max with a 400m range, the Focus Premium with a 200m range, and the Focus Core with a 100m range. All Focus models can mount a panoramic camera so you can scan in Hybrid Reality Capture mode for increased efficiency. Get in touch with your FARO representative to find out which solution best fits your 3D data capture needs.

The FARO Focus Laser Scanning solution represents a significant advancement in 3D laser scanning technology. With its enhanced range, speed, and connection with FARO’s comprehensive software suite, Focus offers the complete solution to improve productivity and efficiency across various industries.
