Dive into the details

ScanAssist

Create more accurate quotations in less time
Automatically calculates best laser scanner position based on recorded 2D map
Info includes size of building, plus number and positions of single scans
Provides comprehensive coverage of scan site and fast overview of situation

Scan Localizer¹

Facilitates pre-placement of individual scans, especially when missing scan overlaps impeded proper registration of 3D scans
3D scans already pre-positioned to simplify and accelerate registration in FARO SCENE software

DXF File Export

Allows direct usage of the captured 2D map in the customer's target application
Data usable in any CAD system for further modelling without additional conversion

PanoCam/Virtual Reality (VR) Functionality

PanoCam provides panorama images, localized in the floor plan, to get a 360° overview of the captured area
Get immediate access to data after export into SCENE WebShare Cloud
Export functionality to the Present4D VR Suite allows for VR image experience, readily available in just minutes without additional effort
