FARO
Focus Laser Scanning Solution
Hybrid Reality Capture, powered by Flash Technology
Capture With Confidence and Connect Your World Faster
Exceptional Capturing Efficiency, Data Quality, and Accuracy
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 of larger
structures and use the scanner for broader geospatial
applications, such as infrastructure surveys, topographical
mapping, stockpile volume calculations, and more.
Up to 50% Faster Scan Times with Flash Technology
With a panoramic camera mount and Hybrid Reality Capture included, the Focus Premium Max can take Flash Technology scans.* You have the flexibility to mix Flash scans (which take just 28 seconds) and traditional scans — boosting field productivity by over 50% and reducing time spent on site.
Super-High Color Resolution
The latest color camera technology enables Focus scanners to capture scans with up to 266 megapixels of color information.
A Comprehensive Scanning Solution
Building on our history of accuracy and reliability, the Focus Premium Max is fast, accurate, and can be paired with a suite of software that’s perfect for efficiently collecting data and quickly sharing it with key stakeholders for improved project outcomes.
On Closer Inspection
The Focus solution provides exceptional capturing efficiency, data quality, and accuracy for professional applications across the construction, geospatial, public safety, operations & maintenance, and manufacturing markets while offering data quality at faster scan speeds (up to 1 minute per scan), reducing on-site scanning time by up to 50%. Meanwhile, faster loading and system response yields greater data management efficiency when paired with FARO apps and software. The FARO Stream™ App allows you to visualize what you’re scanning on-site, so you don’t have to wait until getting back to the office to see what you scanned. After processing the data in FARO SCENE Software, you can upload it to the FARO Sphere® XG Digital Reality Platform for collaboration and data
Focus Premium Max Features
Reduce Rework and Save Time
With a 200 m range and the option to scan in Hybrid Reality Capture mode, Focus Premium is perfect for collecting as-built documentation, data for MEP design and installations, construction quality control, structural surveys, and more.
Reduce Wasted Time and Material
Capturing the measurements of a large building or facility with conventional documentation can take days or weeks — and even then, the data might be incomplete. The FARO Focus Premium creates accurate, photorealistic 3D representations of any environment or object in just a few minutes, even in the most extreme outdoors conditions.
No More Scanning Blind
For efficient, comprehensive on-site data capture,Focus Premium connects with the new FARO Stream App, bridging FARO hardware to the cloud. Pre-registration scans are fed directly into the cloud, so jobs can be done more efficiently.
Scan More in Less Time
With the optional panoramic camera mount and one-year Hybrid Reality Capture subscription, you can save up to 2.5 days of scanning for projects that require five scanning days. This saved time allows you to consider taking additional scans that you might not have taken under slower scanning systems, ensuring improved on-site productivity, even more predictable accuracy, and all of it achieved with exceptional colorized visual clarity.
Focus Core LASER SCANNER
Versatile 3D Reality Capture
Focus Core has a 100 m range that’s well-suited to industrial facility management, historic preservation, collecting as-built documentation, and more.
Ideal for Low Profile Projects
Business-savvy 3D reality capture device, with an excellent priceperformance ratio featuring a wide range of professional applications in construction, public safety and building operations.
Exceptional Capturing Efficiency

Designed for Complete Integration
FARO’s complementary products —FARO Sphere XG Digital Reality Platform and FARO Stream App (which serves as an on-site data visualizer and bridges the gap between Focus and Sphere XG) — create a powerful union of three distinct
technologies, enabling users to capture with confidence and connect their world anytime, anywhere. This reduces time to decision while streamlining workflow tasks, meeting the demands of today’s increasingly digital workforce.
Boost Productivity with Hybrid Reality Capture
Included perpetually for the Focus Premium Max and as a one year trial (with the option to continue subscribing) for Focus Premium and Focus Core is the capability to take Flash Technology scans with the addition of a panoramic camera. With Hybrid Reality Capture powered by Flash Technology at your fingertips, you will benefit from fully colorized 3D scan data in less than 30 seconds per station. For large and complex areas that typically require many scan positions, this provides you with the extra productivity to set your business apart.
No More “Scanning Blind”
Stream App provides live feedback of the captured scans while performing its pre-registration function. This takes the guesswork out of scanning and means that you don’t have to wait until you get back to the office to see where you scanned and find out if you missed a spot. Additionally, Focus allows for the inclusion of complementary data like field annotations and photographic images in the project after a scan is complete.
SCENE
After processing in SCENE Software, Stream App integrates the captured data seamlessly into Sphere XG, providing a
full FARO solution and application compatibility.
Digital Reality Platform
What sets Focus scanners apart is their ability to share on-site data with key stakeholders via the Sphere XG Digital Reality Platform. This digital reality platform gives your off-site colleagues the ability to work on the data or share it with end customers — breaking down organizational silos and improving customer satisfaction.
Additionally, Sphere XG is integrated with three customer service platforms: Knowledge Base, which provides technical product information; FARO Support, which provides 24/7 personalized service; and FARO Academy, which provides on-demand and live training
and education programs.
Store the Data Your Way
Use the cloud or keep your data offline — it’s up to you. Upload data to Sphere XG and share with key stakeholders for quicker decision-making, or process the data offline, directly in FARO SCENE Software.
A Complete Solution for Your 3D Scanning Needs
Whether it’s for creating as-built documentation, Building Information Modeling (BIM), industrial facility management, infrastructure projects, improved construction quality control, historic preservation, or gathering
data for documenting an asset or facility, the Focus — when paired with the Stream App, SCENE Software, and Sphere XG, plus any number of specific tools like the FARO As-Built™ Software Suite, FARO BuildIT Construction Software,
the FARO Flatness Check™ App, tripods, backpacks, traceable 3D referencing targets, and more — enables enhanced workflow efficiencies that will drive business success.
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 400 m range, the Focus Premium with a 200 m range, and the Focus Core with a 100 m range. The panoramic camera
mount — included with Premium Max and optional for Premium and Core — enables scanning in Hybrid Reality Capture mode for increased efficiency, with Premium and Core including a one-year subscription and Premium Max offering a perpetual license for Hybrid Reality Capture.
When you choose a Focus,you’re choosing a 3D laser scanning solution that boosts productivity, saves time, and reduces rework.
