Faro Focus Core Laser Scanner

The FARO Focus offers the quickest way to get better data. It uses the special Hybrid Reality Capture™ and Flash Technology™*. But great data capture doesn’t always mean a complete solution.

While in the field, the Focus provides exceptionally accurate 3D images of any environment or object. It works well even in tough conditions. You can get real-time feedback using the included FARO Stream™ App.

Transfer point cloud data to the FARO Sphere® XG Digital Reality Platform using Stream. This enables faster decision-making and the seamless integration of third-party software. It also makes the data more accessible for key stakeholders.

The FARO Focus is a complete and straightforward solution for reality capture experts. It has user-friendly hardware and flexible software options.

FARO Focus Features

• Halve the time scanning using Hybrid Reality Capture, powered by Flash Technology – Over 50% faster than traditional methods.
• Improved scanning range—up to 400 meters—leads to superior area coverage per scan position. It is ideal for geospatial applications like topographical surveying, boundary surveying, or infrastructure projects.
• No more “scanning blind.” Pre-registered data and better visualization with the FARO Stream App help find gaps in the data. You can also spot scan errors on-site in real time.
• Upload data to Sphere XG. Share it with key stakeholders for faster decision-making. You can also process data offline in FARO SCENE Software.
• Control the scanner through the Stream App or directly on the screen through the intuitive interface.
• You can create projects, change scanner settings, and manage image resolution. Choose between color or black-and-white scans. Group scans using clustering and add annotations.
• The rugged design, housing, and IP 54 rating help withstand the harshest environments daily.
• Integrated high-speed SSD data storage of 512GB for maximum scan capacity and significantly faster processing.
