The Business Value of Focus Laser Scanners
Never Miss a Measurement
Comprehensive, fast and accurate capture of everything within the Focus Premium Laser Scanner’s field of view means you never have to return to a site for missing measurements. Having your 3D scan data recorded in advance and viewed on-site gives your teams the confidence they need to know they’ve completed the job.
Reduce Rework and Waste of Materials
Knowing your project’s as-built conditions ensures your designs are up to scratch the first time. Monitoring construction progress regularly and frequently in 3D helps you identify problems before they become costly and delay your schedule.
Manage Large and Complex Projects with Confidence
With FARO software solutions and WebShare (part of Sphere) for easy 3D data sharing, you’ll always know what’s happening on your projects.
Make Informed Decisions
With information at your team’s fingertips, they’ll be equipped to make smarter decisions faster and stay ahead of any problems.
Adapt as Needed
With unparalleled expandability, the FARO Focus Laser Scanner grows with your needs. The integrated accessory compartment lets you add new sensors or indicators to your device. And the FARO Swift extension lets you turn your Focus into a super-fast mobile scanning system for large indoor projects.
Break the Speed-Accuracy Tradeoff
For too long, those in the precision measurement industry have struggled with the speed-accuracy tradeoff. The faster scans are made, the less accurate the point cloud is. When speed is slowed down in favor of accuracy, critical time and potential work is lost. With Hybrid Reality Capture Powered by Flash Technology, the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT) is essentially solved. Users can expect to save up to 50% on scanning times and reduce costs per project using this technology.
Scan large-scale projects with ease
With the advanced scanning speed provided by Flash Technology, large-volume projects and on-scene public safety applications in AEC and on-scene have never been easier, providing scanning in less than 30 seconds. With proprietary intelligent upscaling algorithms, full-color scans appear sharper than scans of the same resolution using traditional methods.
Scan more in less time
With Flash, users can save up to 2.5 days of scanning for projects that would have required five scanning days. This time saved allows users to consider additional scans that they would not have been able to capture under slower scanning systems, resulting in increased productivity in the field, greater predictable accuracy, and all with state-of-the-art color image clarity at an affordable price.

Focus Premium Performance
Super High Color Resolution
The latest color technology allows Focus Premium to capture scans with up to 266 megapixels of color information.
Two-Year Warranty
Competitive service means you maximize the life of this product while reducing the total cost of ownership over the life of the device. Two years provides maximum flexibility and peace of mind knowing that any repairs or defective parts will be replaced.
Software Compatibility
Process your Focus Laser Scanner point cloud data with any software tool that fits your workflow, including FARO software solutions and third-party software such as Autodesk® ReCap™.
Multiple Point Clouds, Multiple Devices
The new Focus is also designed to work seamlessly with the FARO Freestyle 2 Handheld Scanner with the “Snap-In” feature. Save time required for multiple scanner positions when scanning complex environments/structures, equipment or tight spaces. Snap-in feature allows the user to seamlessly add data starting from a Focus point cloud, using it as a reference for missing data in difficult-to-scan locations, including shadowed areas and objects with irregular geometry.
Up to 50 times faster scan times
With the Flash Technology add-on and required PanoCam, a typical scan takes less than 30 seconds, saving up to 2.5 days of scanning for projects requiring five scanning days.
PanoCam and Scanner Combination for Maximum Performance
A best-of-both-worlds innovation that will increase productivity in the field and deliver predictable accuracy for every project or forensic investigation.
