FARO Focus3D is the smallest and lightest laser scanner currently available on the market. It comes in three different versions with varied range, features, and target audience. All models are able to perform precise indoor and outdoor scanning with a very high level of accuracy and simple-to-use user interface.

Features

Focus3D lasers are capable of non-contact scanning of indoor and outdoor areas for use in architecture, marketing, modeling, or entertainment. The entry-level Focus3D X 30 is intended for indoor use with its 30m range and very high mobility and flexibility. The mid-range Focus3D X 130 has range from 0.6m up to 130m and is most suited for use in large buildings and for scanning architectural façades and large-volume components. The FARO Focus3D X 330 is FARO’s most capable offering with a range from 0.6m up to 330m. This model will be most useful for outdoor use thanks to its built-in GPS receiver ability to accurately scan even in direct sunlight.
