FARO® Focus
Laser Scanner
FARO® Focus laser scanning hardware delivers millimetre accurate 3D point clouds across any environment from tight interiors and confined industrial spaces to sprawling infrastructure sites stretching hundreds of metres. With capture speeds of up to 2 million points per second and sub 2mm accuracy, every scan produces a precise, photorealistic record of the real world, ready to feed directly into BIM workflows, digital twin platforms and as built documentation.
What sets our scanning solution apart is the complete pipeline it powers from the moment the scanner is set up on site to the moment stakeholders access the data remotely. Scans are verified and pre registered in the field before the team leaves, colour rich point clouds are processed through a centralised cloud platform and final deliverables are shared seamlessly across project teams. Whether you’re documenting a heritage structure, monitoring construction progress, or building a facility wide digital twin, this is the hardware that makes it happen fast, accurate and project ready.
