Services / Scan Data Conversion
Send a link to your FARO scans. We read them with Albireo, our own engine, and return E57, LAS or PTX files that open in any point cloud software. You need neither SCENE nor a Windows workstation.
Raw Focus3D project folders as they came off the scanner, or .fls files that were already processed in SCENE. Put them on any transfer service and send us the link.
Focus3D 120, S 120, X 130, X 130 HDR, X 330
iQLib 4.8 to 7.5
Send one sample scan, we check it before quoting.
One file per scan, in the scanner's own coordinate frame, with a short note on the scanner model and file version we found.
ASTM E2807, the vendor neutral exchange format. Our default.
Point format 3, for survey and GIS software.
Keeps the scan grid, for tools that work on structured scans.
XYZ and grey intensity. RGB on processed files that carry colour.
We compare Albireo's output point by point with exports that SCENE LT wrote from the same scans. On points present in both, 99.99 to 100 % lie within 2 mm, and on four of six test sites the median difference is 0.005 mm, the precision limit of PTX itself.
No. We read the .fls files directly.
No. Each scan comes back as its own file. Registration stays in the software you already use.
The conversion is free of charge. In return you grant us a licence to keep and use the files, as set out in our Terms, and receive occasional Albireo updates by email, which you can unsubscribe from at any time. Larger projects are quoted after we have read a sample.
Yes. Ask us at any time and we delete the original files. What was already processed or derived from them stays with us, as set out in our Terms.
Share a link to one or more .fls files. We read them with Albireo, convert them and email you a link to the result. Four short steps, the first one is all we need to start.
