Usage of laser scanners in practice is increasing and affordability also contributes to this fact. On the other hand it should be noted that scanning quality enhanced, color scanning option, as well as compact devices with battery power. For these reasons the FARO Focus 3D scanner is the market leader.

Data processing of laser scanners varies according to the future use of measured data. Data is archived for future processing, especially at cultural monuments, which can be damaged in a short time. Furthermore you can process data very quickly by software application PointCab. The results are the basis for the creation of sections and views, real measurements of distances, areas and volumes and also interactive creation of 3D panoramic views for web applications. To produce accurate drawings is still needed manual processing of scans in some of CAD applications.
