Rental Planning

Which FARO Focus series scanner fits the project?

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.

When it fits: Choose it when the surfaces are within shorter scan distances. Longer reach may add little value on those sites.

Capture speed
Up to 2 million points per second
3D accuracy
2 mm at 10 m; 3.5 mm at 25 m

These specifications come from FARO's 2024 Focus Laser Scanning Solution document in the library below. Maximum ranges apply to 90-percent reflective surfaces. Speed, color, accuracy and operating limits depend on FARO's stated test conditions, the surface and the scanner setup. We confirm rental inventory and accessories for each inquiry.

Established FocusS Fleet

FARO FocusS 70, S150 and S350 scanners, including faster Plus models.

S / 01Front view of the FARO FocusS scanner housing used for the FocusS 70 configuration

FocusS 70

Up to 70 mUp to 1 million points / second

Dense interiors, mechanical rooms, plant spaces and close-range existing-condition documentation.

Use case: Choose it for nearby surfaces where detail and access guide the scan plan. Long outdoor sight lines are not its main use.
S / 02Front view of the FARO FocusS scanner housing used for the FocusS 150 configuration

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 / 03Front view of the FARO FocusS scanner housing used for the FocusS 350 configuration

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 / 04Front view of the FARO FocusS Plus scanner housing used for the FocusS 150 Plus configuration

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 / 05Front view of the FARO FocusS Plus scanner housing used for the FocusS 350 Plus configuration

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.

The official FARO images show the matching FocusS or FocusS Plus platform. FocusS 70, S150 and S350 models share the FocusS hardware design. Each card lists the range and capture rate for that model. FARO and FocusS are trademarks of FARO Technologies, Inc.

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.

  • Interactive and Hybrid Registration
  • Cloud-to-cloud, targets and survey control
  • Filtering, color balancing and project organization
  • Registration validation, visualization and export
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.
