Overview
Capturing the measurements of a large object or building with conventional documentation methods can take days or weeks, and even then the data might contain errors or missing details. But FARO Focus Laser Scanners create accurate, complete and photorealistic 3D images of any environment or object in just a few minutes. With their intuitive touch screen and compact design, these FARO Focus 3D scanners are as easy to operate as a digital camera — with built-in protection from dirt, dust, fog, rain and heat/cold.
Business Value of Focus Laser Scanners
- Never Miss a Measurement : The comprehensive, fast, accurate capturing of everything within the Focus Laser Scanner’s line of sight means that you never have to go back to a site for missing measurements. Finalizing and viewing your 3D scan data on-site provides the confidence your teams need to know they are done with the job.
- Reduce Rework and Material Waste : Knowing the exact as-built conditions of your project ensures your designs fit the first time. And monitoring construction progress regularly and frequently in 3D helps you identify issues before they become costly and delay your schedule.
- Manage Large and Complex Projects with Confidence : In combination with FARO software solutions and WebShare for easy 3D data sharing, you will always know what’s happening with your projects.
- Make Informed Decisions : With the information at your team’s fingertips, they’ll be equipped to make smarter decisions faster and stay ahead of any problems.
- Protect Your Investment : With its unique expandability, a FARO Focus 3D Laser Scanner grows with your needs. The integrated accessory bay of the S series allows you to add new sensors or indicators to your device. And the FARO Swift extension allows you to turn your Focus into a super-fast mobile scanning system for large indoor projects.
Focus Laser Scanner Features
Features Common to All Focus Laser Scanners
- Exceptional Accuracy and Range (up to 350m) : Achieve accuracy with a combination of the most advanced sensor technologies.
- Great Adaptability : Use Focus Laser Scanners indoors and outdoors, in bright sunlight or complete darkness.

- Scan Group Feature : Rescan multiple areas at a higher resolution.
- Light Weight and Small Size : Use the scanners anywhere.
- Digital Hashing Function : Add encrypted security to all raw scans.
Features Exclusive to the Focus-S350, Focus-S150 and Focus-S70
- On-site Compensation : Ensure high-quality scan data and traceable documentation.
- On-site Registration : Allow for wire transmission of scan data to SCENE Software for real-time processing.
- Integrated Accessory Bay : Use this future-proof interface to connect additional accessories for user-specific customization.
- Status Indicator of Laser : Ensure on-site safety.
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) Applications
- Fast, Accurate As-built Capture and Modeling : Use Focus Laser Scanners to capture as-built data for building information modeling (BIM), industrial facility management and infrastructure projects. The accurate, complete data creates a strong foundation for conversions, extensions, space optimization, structural analysis and maintenance.
- Improved Construction Quality Control : Ensure the highest quality of your construction projects with Focus Laser Scanners. Precise laser scanning throughout the building process ensures that the final structure fits design intent, minimizing risk of deformations and other problems. Also perform large-volume calculations and inspect free-form shape elements and façade components with ease. The scan data is invaluable for project supervision and collaboration across trades.
- Historic Preservation : Use the scanners to create 3D models of historical sites and archeological objects for reconstruction, restoration and conservation.
- Digital Twin for Asset and Facility Management : A key component of a smart factory is its digital twin — a comprehensive 3D digital copy of the facility. Use the Focus Laser Scanners to capture the as-built data you need for asset and facility management.
Public Safety Analytics Applications
- Forensic Analysis and Pre-incident Planning : Capture every detail of an environment for developing safety systems or for investigating crime/crash scenes, reconstructing bullet paths and uncovering the cause of a fire.
3D Metrology Applications
- Enhanced Product Design and Engineering : Use Focus Laser Scanners to enhance the accuracy and speed of your design and engineering processes. When a product has no CAD data, simply scan it to get all the measurements you need for reverse engineering. And when manufacturing fixtures and fittings for ships, cars or aircraft, scan the complex interiors as your basis for planning conversions.
- More Efficient Production, Fabrication and Assembly : Rely on Focus Laser Scanners to keep production moving efficiently. You can scan complex machine components for manufacturing documentation, or use the resulting 3D CAD data and dimensional control for precise-fit off-site assembly as needed.
- Improved Quality Control and Inspection : Use Focus Laser Scanners for precise 3D documentation and dimensional inspection of large, complex components such as rotor blades, turbines and ship propellers.
