3D laser scanners from FARO use laser technology to deliver highly detailed 3D Documentation. 3D images of complex environments and geometries can be generated in mere minutes. Use them for accident reconstruction, 3D modelling of process plants, architectural preservation tasks, digital factory layouts or deformation monitoring.

3. New Features - Support for new Focus3D-S sensors
 Dual Axis Compensator (formerly
know as “Inclination Sensor”) is used to
make sure that the scan data is
leveled and cannot be tilted during the
registration.
 Compass gives each scan an
orientation. This information is used
during registration to avoid wrong
orientations due to ambiguous target
situations.
 Altimeter (or height sensor) is
determining the height of the scanner
by measuring the air pressure.
This additional information is as well
used during registration.

6. New Features - Fine Registration
Mean deviation
improvement:
26,7mm
1,3mm

7. New Features – Project Point Cloud (Spatial Database)
* Max size = 2^63 Points ca. 9.223.372.036.854.775.808 points (9.2 quinttillion points).
That would require ca. 25 Mio. Terabyte compressed storage space.

 New 3D view toolbar (i.e. direct access to point size, gap filling and
ClearView)
 New Camera alignment tools
 Scaled Grids
 New 3D Brush Selector
 Improved 3D gap filling
 Measurements in 3D view
 OverviewMap available in Scene
 3D-Viewing mode

 Export of color scans does now
export intensity (grey) and
RGB values in one step (for
export format which support this,
i.e. E57, PTX and POD)
 Export of scan folders into
separate files per scan

11. New Features – Bits and Pieces
