The FAROFocus Premium and Focus Core is a high-speed three-

dimensional laser scanner for detailed measurement and doc-

umentation. The FOCUS Premium and FOCUS Core uses laser tech-

nology to produce very detailed three-dimensional images of

complex environments and geometries in minutes. The resulting

images consist of millions of 3D measurement points.

The scanner (see Figure 1-1 on page i) is designed to scan objects at

distances between 0.5meters and approximately 70, 150, or

350meters, depending on your license. Additional features, such as

Swift, are also available with extra licenses. Contact your FARO
