The scanner converts a weeks work into hours. All details of relevance in any subsequent reconstruction of the crime or accident are covered. Similarly, in order to develop appropriate safety concepts for events, laser scans deliver the relevant 3D topography information. Applications Crime scenes investigation & analysis: Complex and timely investigations made easier and faster by the FARO Laser Scanner Focus. Bullet path reconstruction: Quick and accurate reconstruction of bullet paths made possible by combining traditional investigative methods with cutting-edge laser scanning technology. Crash investigation & analysis: Handling, investigating and analyzing road incidents, their cause and impact made fast and reliable using FARO laser scanners. Passive safety of cars: Reducing consequences of accidents with laser scanner tested passive safety systems can be vital for passenger survival. Fire Investigation: Detailed fire scene reconstruction. Security and Pre-Planning: Document and share building plans and site information faster and with more detail. Benefits Fast and accurate preservation of critical evidence Limitation of road closure time Compelling 2D/3D courtroom exhibits Minimization of exposure time in dangerous environments (e.g. fire scene) CIVIL ENGINEERING/SURVEYING Applications Scanning of large or distant objects: Due to the extra long range of the FocusS 350 all kinds of high, long or difficult to access objects can be easily scanned and analyzed. Project supervision: Whenever there are excavations, bridges, towers, open-pit mines, roads, railways, reservoirs, pipelines to be built, there is a need for close monitoring of the individual project phases to meet the project’s requirements. Deformation monitoring: Determining if the surveyed structure or object is changing shape or moving. Saves time and rework during construction. Large volume calculation: When measuring loose material in bulk, e.g. in barges, silos or in warehouses, large volume determination on a regular basis is an important consideration. Laser scanning allows for fast, accurate and reliable dimensional calculations. Quality control: Precise laser scanning ensures that the final as-built condition fit design intent and minimizes the chance of potential problems. Benefits Time-saving, rapid, simple and complete recording of the current condition of surveying or construction sites Real-time, digital 3D data capture and analysis of materials, volumes, structures, topography. Due to extra-long range, enhanced registration of data and rapid capturing of high resolution data increases users’ productivity Precise positioning due integrated GPS In combination with FARO SCENE and FARO As-Built Software, FARO provides a complete workflow from scan to 2D and 3D deliverables FACILITY MANAGEMENT Applications Documentation: The Focus accurately records the inventory data that is needed by Facility Managers – be it the structural situation on a production plant or the building services equipment in an office block. Planning of structural alterations: The scan data provides an accurate three-dimensional model of the actual status of the building. As a result Facilities Managers can run through the usage options for rooms even before planning actually begins. Replanning of technical modifications: Changes to technical equipment, such as pipes, air ducts and electrical supply lines, can be depicted and checked in advance in the virtual model. This offers a stable basis for replanning. Benefits Complete and precise 3D documentation of the current status of buildings and building sites It is especially suited to facilities managers, architects, construction engineers, construction experts and surveyors The optimum basis for the planning and execution of building projects as well as for the management of properties In combination with FARO SCENE and FARO As-Built for AutoCAD® Software, FARO provides a complete workflow from scan to FMCAD deliverables SHIPBUILDING Applications As-built documentation: 3D laser scanning solutions ensure that ship hulls and components can be digitized when original drawings are missing or inaccurate (as it is often the case with old vessels).
