Focus Premium - 200m scanning range
- Reduce Rework and Save TimeWith a 200m 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.
- No More Scanning BlindFor 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.
- Reduce Wasted Time and MaterialCapturing 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.
