The FARO 3D App Center reduces costs and simplifies workflows by
replacing expensive software packages that perform tasks users may
never need. Instead, customers can access and download FARO
software apps built specifically to resolve their particular
scanning challenges, such as surface or volume calculations. The
result is lower operating cost and an assurance that scanning
professionals have the FARO software they need, for the tasks they
perform, each and every time.
FARO's 3D App Center also provides a forum for software
developers to create and share their own apps with the laser
scanning world. Now, third-parties and other software companies can
reach Focus3D customers directly, with apps tailored to meet their
needs. All third-party apps are thoroughly tested and approved by
the FARO team before making their way to the 3D App Center for
download.
The all-new FARO 3D App Center is available now at
