Designed for Complete Integration
FARO’s complementary products — FARO Sphere and FARO Stream (which
serves as the data bridge between Focus Premium and Sphere) — create a
powerful union of three distinct technologies, enabling users to capture with
confidence and connect their world anytime, anywhere. This reduces time to
decision while streamlining workflow tasks, meeting the demands of today’s
increasingly remote, digital workforce.

Stream provides the best on-site efficiency for

data capture with the Focus Premium scanner
for scan operations in architecture, engineering,
construction and facility management. Now, users
can be confident in the successful and complete
scan data they collect in real-time, confident that
no additional site visits will be required because of
Stream is the first mobile app that connects missing data and confident in radically expedited
FARO hardware with FARO Sphere cloud-based project finalization times as Stream and Sphere
applications and services. By uniting hardware are already doing some of the work automatically
with cloud software, Stream makes on-site capture while a Focus Premium operator is returning from
workflows more efficient and brings captured data the field. Premium also allows the ability to include
directly into the FARO ecosystem. It does so by complementary data like field annotations and
providing live feedback of the captured scans while photographic images to the project after a

Stream integrates the

captured data seamlessly
into Sphere, and provides
full FARO solution and
application compatibility.

 With Stream and Sphere, registration starts in
the field and processing is performed in the
cloud while the scan operator is driving back to
the office. This allows off-site colleagues to
already work on the data or share it with end-
customers via FARO WebShare Software, the
world’s leading collaborative point cloud project
management solution.
What sets Focus Premium apart is its ability to
share the on-site data it collects via Stream and Additionally, Sphere leverages WebShare to
send that information to Sphere. Once data is on integrate three customer service platforms:
Sphere users experience a centralized, efficient, Knowledge Base, which provides technical product
and collaborative environment across FARO point information, FARO Support, which provides
cloud applications and customer support tools for 24-7 personalized service, and FARO Academy,
faster 3D data capture, processing, and delivery which provides on-demand and live training and

Snap-In Success
The new Focus is also designed to work seamlessly
with the FARO Freestyle 2 Handheld Scanner, thanks
to its “Snap-In” feature.

Save the time that is required for multiple scanner positions when
it comes to scanning complex environments/structures, equipment
or tight spaces. Snap-in enables the user to seamlessly add data
starting from a Focus point cloud by using it as a reference for
missing data from such hard-to-scan locations, including areas in
shadow and objects with irregular geometries.

The two point clouds are then pre-registered

in the same project. Together Focus and
Freestyle 2 achieve what neither tool can
do alone—provide both the speed and
granularity of data capture to ensure
that no on-site detail is missed.

Freestyle 2’s freedom of movement allows operators the ability to capture those hard-to-reach spots
and eliminate any possible data voids, while also addressing the cumbersome need to reposition the
Focus multiple times in an effort to capture that missing information.
