Focus 3D FARO is the leading manufacturer of mobile measuring, documentation and imaging systems. The

Focus3D is a revolutionary, high-performance 3D laser scanner with intuitive touchscreen control.

UniversalIdeal for 3D building documentation, construction supervision, reverse engineering, historic preservation or forensic crime scene documentation – thanks to its simple controls and compact design, the Focus3D is ideally adapted to all sorts of applications.

EconomicalThe price of the Focus3D is a revolution by itself. A 3D laser scanner has never been so affordable. Additionally FARO offers different Focus3D models and pricing options.

EfficientThe long range of up to 120m, the level sen-sor, the compactness and ease of use and the auto-registration at no extra cost result in up to 50% savings of scan and processing time compared to conventional laser scan-ners.

Precise and fastThe Focus3D creates a precise, virtual copy of reality in millimetre-accuracy at a blaz-ing speed of up to 976,000 measurement points per second.

Exact measurements in three dimensions: Simply at your fingertips

A revolution in 3D laser scanning

Industries and users who traditionally work with two- dimensional plans and schematic diagrams are in-creasingly discovering the advantages of three-dimen-sional planning and documentation tools.

Whether it is architecture and plant construction, reverse engineering and quality control or historical preservation and forensics – 3D documentation by means of laser scanners offers significant advantages compared with any conventional measuring method. This is because a laser scanner records approximately one million measuring points per second and produces

a precise, three-dimensional image of its surround-ings. With suitable plug-ins this image can be directly imported into a wide range of software applications. With the Focus3D, FARO now offers a revolutionary new laser scanner that can be very simply and intuitively operated using its touchscreen. Furthermore, it is sig-nificantly more compact and more cost-effective than previous models.

The Focus3D thus offers everything you might expect from a professional 3D laser scanner – with a previously unknown level of simplicity.

Revolutionary simpleDue to its intuitive control concept with touch-screen display, the Focus3D is as easy to operate as a digital camera. The device is also entirely self-contained in operation, so neither additional devices nor cables nor a laptop are needed.

Light-weight and compactThe smallest and lightest laser scanner ever built: At dimensions of just 24 x 20 x 10cm and a weight of only 5kg, the Focus3D is so compact and mobile that you will take it with you wher-ever you go.

Measurement method

Documentation of indoor environments

With the Focus3D it is possible to quickly produce 3D documentations of interiors and technical installations such as building services, conveyor systems or process installations.

Documentation of outdoor environments

The Focus3D is well suited to 3D documenta-tion of buildings, building sites, roads and landscape features. Objects within a dis-tance of up to 120m are recorded.

Product and component documentation

Whether for inspection of large machine components, in product design or reverse engineering – the Focus3D measures products and components of every possible shape and size and produces precise data and three-dimensional surface models from them.

Distance

The scanner uses a laserbeam which is reflectedback to the scanner byan object. The distanceis measured in millimetre-accuracy by the phase-shift between the sending and receiving beam.

Vertical angle

The mirror deflects the laser beam in vertical direction onto the same object. The angle is encoded simultaneously with the distance meas-urement.

Horizontal angle

The laser scanner re-volves 360° horizontally. The horizontal angle is encoded simultaneously with the distance meas-urement.

Computation of the 3D coordinate

Distance, vertical angle and horizontal angle make up a polar coordinate (δ, α, β), which is then transformed to a Cartesian coordinate (x, y, z).
