Rent a FARO Focus Premium Max, Focus Premium or Focus Core scanner for your project. Choose the package for the space, required detail and field conditions, from interiors to large sites and infrastructure.
The current FARO Focus Premium family spans three white-surface ranges: Focus Premium Max up to 400 m, Focus Premium up to 200 m and Focus Core up to 100 m. All three are specified for capture speeds up to 2 million points per second, with model selection driven by site scale, surface conditions, color needs and workflow requirements.
Current Focus Platform
Choose the working range around the site, not the model name.
The appropriate scanner depends on stand-off distance, surface reflectivity, site access, required detail and the workflow your qualified team will use after capture.
MODEL / 01
Focus Premium Max
Up to 400 m
Useful for large structures and distant outdoor surfaces. It supports infrastructure surveys, terrain mapping and stockpile volume capture.
When it fits: Choose it when longer reach helps reduce scanner moves. It also suits large outdoor sites.
MODEL / 02
Focus Premium
Up to 200 m
Use it for as-built records, MEP design and installation. It also supports construction checks and structural surveys.
When it fits: Choose it for mixed indoor and outdoor AEC work. It combines medium range with fast capture and field review.
MODEL / 03
Focus Core
Up to 100 m
Useful for rooms, industrial facility records and historic preservation. It also suits focused as-built work.

FocusS 150
Up to 150 mUp to 1 million points / second
Commercial buildings, MEP coordination, structural surroundings and mixed interior/exterior capture.
Use case: Its range covers many AEC jobs. Choose it when the site does not need the reach of a model built for distant outdoor targets.S / 03
FocusS 350
Up to 350 mUp to 1 million points / second
Large facilities, tall structures, infrastructure, exterior envelopes and sites with long stand-off distances.
Use case: The longer published range can reduce setups. It helps cover important surfaces that the scanner cannot approach closely.S / 04
FocusS 150 Plus
Up to 150 mUp to 2 million points / second
High-throughput building, MEP and construction documentation within a medium-range envelope.
Use case: It pairs the S150 range with capture rates up to 2 million points per second. Usable range depends on the scan rate and surface conditions.S / 05
FocusS 350 Plus
Up to 350 mUp to 2 million points / second
High-volume long-range capture for large facilities, infrastructure and exterior project conditions.
Use case: It combines the longest published FocusS range with capture rates up to 2 million points per second. Usable range depends on the scan rate and surface conditions.

Quality control
On-site compensation and real-time registration in FARO SCENE
These FocusS specifications come from FARO's technical sheet revised September 9, 2021. Range depends on how much light the target reflects. Black and other low-reflectivity surfaces can reduce usable distance. Device specifications alone do not establish the accuracy of a finished project or deliverable.

Register, review and prepare data in FARO SCENE
FARO SCENE processes, aligns and manages Focus scans on the desktop. It supports automatic target recognition and cloud-to-cloud, target-based and survey-control registration. Interactive and Hybrid Registration help teams review scan connections. Teams can filter and color the data, check alignment, create a project cloud and take basic measurements. They can then export files for point-cloud and CAD/BIM work.

06
Move from field review to final project delivery
For current Focus models, the FARO Stream App supports scanner control, live feedback, pre-registration and an overview map while the team is still on site. The dataset can then move into FARO SCENE for controlled registration and processing. When selected, Sphere XG provides cloud-based viewing, sharing and collaboration; an offline SCENE workflow remains available.

Common Questions
Questions About Your Project
Their main published distinction is maximum range on 90-percent reflective surfaces: up to 400 m, 200 m and 100 m respectively. All three list capture rates up to 2 million points per second. Premium Max is positioned for large sites and infrastructure, Premium for broad AEC and as-built work, and Core for shorter-range facility, preservation and documentation assignments.
No. Maximum ranges are measured under FARO's stated conditions and depend strongly on target reflectivity, scan-rate settings, atmosphere and geometry. Dark or black surfaces can materially reduce usable range, so the rental configuration should be selected around the actual site rather than the headline distance alone.
For the current Focus family, FARO lists typical grayscale scans in under one minute. HDR color scans take under one minute fifteen seconds. A fully colorized Flash scan takes under 30 seconds. Flash timing requires the compatible panoramic-camera and Hybrid Reality Capture configuration. FocusS Plus models list capture rates up to 2 million points per second, while the non-Plus FocusS models list up to 1 million.
SCENE processes, registers and manages Focus scan data. It supports cloud-to-cloud, target and survey-control methods; Interactive and Hybrid Registration; filtering and color balancing; registration validation; project point-cloud creation; visualization, measurements and export to downstream formats.
Yes, with configuration-specific workflows. Current Focus models work with FARO Stream for scanner control, live feedback, pre-registration and an overview map. FocusS workflows can use on-site registration in SCENE. Final registration and validation should still follow the project's quality plan.
Data delivery is scoped separately from equipment rental. If processing is included, the package may contain raw scans, registered clouds, SCENE project data, imagery, CAD drawings or BIM models. Define coordinates, software versions and acceptance criteria before work begins.
Not automatically. The exact package is confirmed for each inquiry. Ask for the scanner model, dates, tripod, targets, panoramic camera, batteries, FARO SCENE or other software access, shipping, support and any requested orientation.
Send the project location, requested dates, expected working distances, site conditions, preferred model and required accessories through the rental inquiry. Inventory, pricing, shipping, deposits, software and support are confirmed directly before a reservation is made.
Rental may fit qualified teams that already have field, registration and delivery experience. A scanning service may be the better fit when the project needs capture planning, site execution, FARO SCENE registration, quality review and defined deliverables under one coordinated scope.
