New FARO Focus Core Laser Scanner

FARO Focus Core enables fast colorized 3D scans and delivers a cost-competitive solution for construction, operations and public safety professionals eager to strike the optimal balance between scanning accuracy and speed, reducing time spent on site or on scene, while eliminating materials waste and personnel bottlenecks.

FARO Focus Core enables fast colorized 3D scans and delivers a cost-competitive solution for construction, operations and public safety professionals eager to strike the optimal balance between scanning accuracy and speed, reducing time spent on site or on scene, while eliminating materials waste and personnel bottlenecks.

Through an optional subscription to the FARO Stream mobile app for smart devices, Core users will benefit from real-time on-site pre-registration, which will allow faster project completion and a reduced need to return to a jobsite multiple times to capture additional scans.

Focus Core is also compatible with Sphere, the company’s cloud-based SaaS platform, which will enable enhanced collaboration of global teams, fast delivery of as-built data, and the ability to make better informed decisions in less time.

Features

Optimized scanning range

• 70-meter range with a distance accuracy of 2mm

Fast colour capture

• 1-minute internal SDR per scan, or y 2.5 min internal HDR per scan y Even faster colour capture with the optional panoramic camera add-on

Colour resolution ideal for fast on-scene reality capture

Pre-registration with Stream (optional)

• Upload on-site pre-registered scan data via the Stream Mobile App
• Share information with project stakeholders anywhere in the world via FARO Sphere

Faster loading and system response

• Greater data management efficiency
• New high-performance electronics provide a smooth user experience and fluent on-site operation

Smartphone-enabled

• Remote control capabilities with the optional Stream support
• Fast Wi-Fi operation

Benefits

Multiple application use

• Construction, Public Safety and Operations offering data quality at faster scan speeds
• Ideal for public safety agencies looking to improve on scene evidence capture quality and efficiency

Reduce Rework and Material Waste

• Know the as-built condition of your project and ensure your designs fit the first time
• Monitor construction progress regularly and frequently in 3D helps you identify issues before they become costly and delay your schedule

Eliminate error-prone traditional measurement methods

• The Focus Core allows the ability to complete on-scene (forensic investigation tasks) and on-site (jobsite) data collection, faster, and to do so with greater accuracy, confident that the data is captured correctly, and not requiring multiple site/scene visit

Confidence to leave the site with complete and useful data

• Make data accessible to project stakeholders early on with Stream option and the FARO Sphere cloud platform
• Two-year manufacturer warranty means maximizing the life of this product with servicing while reducing the total cost of ownership throughout the device’s lifespan
