 3D scaner Faro Focus 3D

In the year 2012 the FARO Laser Scanner Focus3D was awarded the coveted innovation prize in the “Product of High Architectural Quality” category. A jury of well-known architects and engineers awarded this prestige architecture and design prize.

The Focus3D particularly impressed the jury with its innovative design and its technical performance. Moreover, the jury concluded that the increasing need for 3D data was an indicator for the importance of this product. This means that time-consuming work such as measuring of area and quantity surveying can be significantly shortened very easily with the aid of modern laser scanners – thoroughly, quickly and cost-effectively.

With its high degree of precision, the device is able to assist construction managers, structural construction companies and the tradesmen carrying out the work with quality assurance at the building site: for example in the construction of facades, in checking the precise fit of assembled elements, in checking formwork elements in concrete structures, in positioning structurally sensitive supports and in numerous other applications.
