&lt;br /&gt;
FARO is a 3D hardware and software company founded in 1981. They are a leading company in laser (LIDAR) scanning, which produces highly detailed point clouds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==File Identification==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FARO scanners produce a proprietary FARO Laser Scan (.FLS) file containing raw point cloud data. Faro WorkSpace (.FWS) files are produced in SCENE software also produced by Faro. Current software also creates a .lsproj file as a managing projects and groups of scans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
.FLS single files use the [[Microsoft Compound File]] format as a container for the raw scan data. Each file contains a &amp;quot;Main&amp;quot; file with all metadata and a folder called &amp;quot;Scans&amp;quot; with all Calibration, Parameters and Scan Data Streams.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
RAW Faro scan data saved by scanner to a memory card may be a group of files inside a .FLS folder. Processing with SCENE software combines files into a single .FLS file&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://laserscanningforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4212&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Software==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faro scans can be opened with the free SCENE LT software&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://faro.app.box.com/s/iixhnlkp3ty8k6ofiphvl5r7erc0tb8o/folder/5363584661&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;. An SDK is available for 3rd party software to make use of the format&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://knowledge.faro.com/Software/FARO_SCENE/SCENE/SDK_File_Download_and_Installation_for_SCENE&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;, powered by the iQlib library.&lt;br /&gt;
