Company mission

To enable customers to capture, measure, interact with and share data from our physical world in a virtual environment and then translate this information back into the physical domain.

Our take

FARO provides software and hardware for 3D measurement, imaging, and realization, as well as a reality capture and collaboration platform. Founded in 1981, the company now has over 25 offices around the world and delivers leading solutions for industries including facility operations and management, and public safety analytics.

FARO has a history of rapid growth, and has continuously developed and innovated its offerings. This was, and is, in part facilitated by a series of acquisitions; starting with CATS Computer Aided Technologies in 1998, and most recently including the companies GeoSLAM and SiteScape. These latest acquisitions have contributed to FARO having one of the widest portfolios of reality capture solutions on the market, including 360-degree camera-based images, mobile scanning, and stationary high-accuracy laser scanning.

One of FARO’s latest products is the FARO Flatness Check, an AR app for the concrete industry that visualizes floor levelness to eliminate rework costs, showcasing one in many applications of its technologies. With its wide range of solutions, and 40 years of industry experience, the company has visions towards being the global leader in 3D and 4D digital reality solutions, a market which is projected to surpass 450 billion dollars by 2025.
