The workflow connects data capture with the Rovi i.1 mobile laser scanner, processing in Faro Sphere XG, and project insights using Scene, in what Faro describes as an easy-to-use, affordable solution.
Alongside the scanner launches, Faro has launched Scene 2027, a major update to its desktop processing software, which it claims reduces project point cloud generation time on large projects from hours to minutes. The new release also introduces an AI-based filter designed to remove glass and mirror reflections.
