FARO Freestyle 2 Handheld Scanner

Benefits of the FARO Freestyle 2

Best-in-class range of .4m to 5m (1.3'- 16'), the Freestyle 2 captures small and large areas and with its lightweight, cable-free design and six degrees of freedom, you can operate the Freestyle 2 with one hand anywhere, at any angle; even upside down.

The Fastest Portable 3D Scanner Avalaible

The Freestyle 2 is designed for one-hand operation, meaning you can scan even the most hard-to-reach areas, either inside or outside. As the fastest 3D portable handheld laser scanner, the Freestyle 2 scans with great efficiency and versatility. Unmatched photorealism means you get high-quality, colour, 3D data with exceptional accuracy.

As-Built Capture and Modelling

Capture 3D documentation of complex areas for surveying, or of dense technical rooms for MEP design or retrofit purposes. Plus, artisans can capture small ambients for custom furniture design, staircase design and other custom components. See As-Built capture and modelling applications below.

Export Compatible Point Clouds

Use the system itself to export processed point clouds without the need for additional software.

Real-time visualisation

Use the Freestyle 2 app to see what you capture as you scan, so you can leave the site with the highest possible level of confidence. Rely on the sensor for great flexibility while acquiring, even in small slots or hidden/inaccessible areas.

Interoperability & Portability

Use the sensor as a companion to a FARO Focus Laser Scanner, filling in when the Focus scanner would require too many positions. Move anywhere with completely untethered workflows, as there’s no bulky tablet or long cables.

Proprietary Tracking Engine

Capture 3D point cloud information while walking and making natural movements, with best-in-class tracking performance. Work in any lighting condition, even complete darkness.

FARO Focus Premium 

Building on FARO's history of accuracy and reliability, the new FARO® Focus Premium Laser Scanner is the fastest, most accurate and most data-sharing-enabled scanner on the market to date, featuring entirely new components with a proven design.

Focus Premium provides exceptional capturing efficiency, data quality and accuracy for professional applications across the construction, public safety, operations & maintenance and manufacturing markets while offering data quality at faster scan speeds (up to 1 minute per scan) reducing onsite scanning time by up to 50%.

Meanwhile, faster loading and system response yields greater data management efficiency when paired with the new FARO Stream mobile app and uploaded to the new FARO Sphere cloud-based collaboration platform.

The Focus Premium

The Focus Premium consists of three laser scanners with different ranges: 350 for long-range measurements up to 350m, 150 for mid-range measurements up to 150m and 70, perfectly suitable for short-range measurements up to 70m.

Certified Quality, Tough and Accurate

Capturing the measurements of a large building, facility, or crash/crime scene with conventional documentation methods can take days or weeks, and even then, the data might contain errors or missing details.

But the FARO Focus Premium and FARO Focus Core create accurate, complete and photorealistic 3D representations of any environment or object in just a few minutes.

Both the Focus Premium and Focus Core are easy to operate and offer built-in protection from dirt, dust, fog, rain and heat/ cold.

Cloud Connectivity and Software

And, for best on-site data capture, Focus Premium connects with the new FARO Stream app, bridging FARO hardware to the FARO Sphere cloud environment. Pre-registration scans are fed directly into the cloud, so jobs can be done more efficiently — feedback is captured and processed as you work.

Combined with FARO’s companion products — Sphere and the Stream app — Focus Premium (and Focus Core as an optional feature) deliver better data faster. They enable reduced time to decision while streamlining efficiencies to meet the demands of today’s increasingly remote, digital workforce.

Workflow Tools

For scan data processing users have unrestricted freedom of choice to leverage the software tools most beneficial to their own workflow.

Although we have only had the FARO® Focus Laser Scanner for 4-5 months, our drawings have improved, our CAD man-hours have dropped, our rework has decreased and our number of trips to the site have dropped significantly.

With the FARO Focuss I no longer do the traditional crime scene sketch. The end product is impressive for the DA and jurors. We scanned a fatal fire in a house and I am convinced that the Grand Jury indicted because of the FARO presentation.
