FARO Focus Premium 3D Laser scanner is used to document crime scenes by taking photographs and measurements in a way that allows for the scene to be recreated in 3D through its proprietary software (Scene, Scene 2 Go, Faro Zone 2D and Faro Zone 3D). It is an upgrade to the current FARO S150 scanners utilized by the FDLE Crime Scene discipline. The software that the FDLE Crime Scene discipline currently uses (Scene and Scene 2go) is only compatible with FARO scanners. In addition, the FARO Free Style hand held laser scanner that the FDLE Crime Scene discipline utilizes is only compatible with FARO data for integration purposes.

FARO Technologies, Inc. is the sole developer and manufacturer of the FARO Laser Scanners.
