FARO Technologies, Inc. has announced an update to the FARO Focus Swift Mobile Scanner that adds improved semi-mobile workflows with color capture capabilities.

The Focus Swift enables scanning for large projects and complex areas in as little as one-tenth of the time as it takes with traditional stationary scans. With this update the Focus Swift enables users to capture 10-20 second colorized anchor scans to provide greater accuracy and detail in important areas. This update integrates the Ricoh Theta Z1 360° camera, allowing users to colorize their anchor scans—and with the new color feature, the point cloud detail and visualization are increased.

The Focus Swift is an extension of the FARO Focus Laser Scanner. Effective for outdoor and indoor use, Swift is powered by FARO SCENE Software that automatically processes data from the Focus Laser Scanner and ScanPlan 2D Handheld Mapper into accurate 3D point clouds. Users can directly import data sets into any CAD system to simplify their modeling plan with automated processes and optimize their scan-to-BIM workflow. Additionally, Swift has can export scans to the cloud (via FARO WebShare Software) for easy sharing with project stakeholders, wherever they work around the globe. While Swift can be used “swiftly” as its name implies, it does not have to be. The versatile solution allows for any work pace desired and is particularly suitable for large-area scanning projects that must be completed quickly.
