FARO Mobile Laser Scanners

Why Customers Like the FARO Orbis Premium

When asked what our customers liked about the FARO Orbis Premium, here’s what they had to say.

• The real-time data display in FARO Stream is excellent because it ensures complete coverage of the scan area.
• Collecting control points with Orbis and FARO Stream results in less time spent occupying control points, which are often in high-traffic areas. This results in safer and more efficient fieldwork.
• Point cloud colorization and 360 pano-image integration help BIM modelers better understand what they see in the point cloud. Greater point cloud density results in clearer features, which translates into more accurate and efficient model extraction.
