Exceptional Capturing Efficiency,
Data Quality, and Accuracy
The Focus Premium Max boasts an extended range of
up to 400 meters. This significant increase in range over
previous Focus models enables you to capture data of larger
structures and use the scanner for broader geospatial
applications, such as infrastructure surveys, topographical
mapping, stockpile volume calculations, and more.

Up to 50% Faster Scan Times

with Flash Technology
With a panoramic camera mount
and Hybrid Reality Capture included,
the Focus Premium Max can take Flash
Technology scans.* You have the flexibility to
mix Flash scans (which take just 28 seconds)
and traditional scans — boosting field
productivity by over 50% and
reducing time spent on site.

Super-High Color Resolution

The latest color camera technology enables

Focus scanners to capture scans with up to
266 megapixels of color information.

A Comprehensive
Scanning Solution
Building on our history of accuracy and
reliability, the Focus Premium Max is fast,
accurate, and can be paired with a suite
of software that’s perfect for efficiently
collecting data and quickly sharing it
with key stakeholders for improved
project outcomes.

On Closer Inspection
The Focus solution provides exceptional capturing efficiency, data quality, and accuracy for
professional applications across the construction, geospatial, public safety, operations &
maintenance, and manufacturing markets while offering data quality at faster scan speeds
(up to 1 minute per scan), reducing on-site scanning time by up to 50%. Meanwhile, faster
loading and system response yields greater data management efficiency when paired with
FARO apps and software. The FARO Stream™
App allows you to visualize what you’re
scanning on-site, so you don’t have to wait
until getting back to the office to see what
you scanned. After processing the data in
FARO SCENE Software, you can upload it to
the FARO Sphere® XG Digital Reality Platform
for collaboration and data management.

Reduce Rework and Save Time

With a 200 m range and the option to scan in Hybrid
Reality Capture mode, Focus Premium is perfect for
collecting as-built documentation, data for MEP
design and installations, construction quality
control, structural surveys, and more.

Reduce Wasted Time and Material

Capturing the measurements of a large building or
facility with conventional documentation can take
days or weeks — and even then, the data might be
incomplete. The FARO Focus Premium creates accurate,
photorealistic 3D representations of any environment
or object in just a few minutes, even in the most
extreme outdoors conditions.

No More Scanning Blind

For efficient, comprehensive on-site data capture,

Focus Premium connects with the new FARO
Stream App, bridging FARO hardware to the cloud.
Pre-registration scans are fed directly into the
cloud, so jobs can be done more efficiently.

Scan More in Less Time

With the optional panoramic camera mount

and one-year Hybrid Reality Capture
subscription, you can save up to 2.5 days
of scanning for projects that require five
scanning days. This saved time allows you
to consider taking additional scans that
you might not have taken under slower
scanning systems, ensuring improved
on-site productivity, even more
predictable accuracy, and all of
it achieved with exceptional
colorized visual clarity.

Digital Reality Platform

What sets Focus scanners apart is their ability to share on-site data with key stakeholders via the Sphere
XG Digital Reality Platform. This digital reality platform gives your off-site colleagues the ability to work
on the data or share it with end customers — breaking down organizational silos and improving customer
satisfaction.

Additionally, Sphere XG is integrated with three customer service platforms: Knowledge Base, which
provides technical product information; FARO Support, which provides 24/7 personalized service; and
FARO Academy, which provides on-demand and live training
and education programs.

Store the Data Your Way

Use the cloud or keep your data offline — it’s up to you. Upload data to Sphere XG and share
with key stakeholders for quicker decision-making, or process the data offline, directly in
