FARO Launches Blink: A New Era of Accessible 3D Reality Capture

LAKE MARY, FL — In a bold step toward democratizing 3D scanning technology, FARO Technologies has officially unveiled FARO Blink, a revolutionary software-driven solution designed to simplify and accelerate the reality capture process for professionals across construction, real estate, and geospatial industries.

FARO Blink is powered by the FARO Sphere XG Digital Reality Platform, offering a seamless blend of advanced visualization and automated workflows. Designed for ease of use, Blink allows users—regardless of their technical background—to quickly capture, process, and share 3D jobsite data.

A Shift Toward Simplicity and Efficiency

What sets Blink apart is its commitment to accessibility without compromise. FARO has streamlined traditionally complex workflows, allowing faster insights and more efficient project coordination. According to FARO President & CEO Peter J Lau, the mission was clear:

“Blink is a ground-breaking innovation designed to break down the barriers to 3D data... We've developed a cost-effective solution that enables anyone, regardless of expertise, to achieve professional-quality data insights.”

Designed for the Future

Blink’s sleek, modern design has already earned international recognition, including a Red Dot Design Award and Silver at the New York Design Awards. But beyond the aesthetics, it delivers real-world functionality—empowering teams to:

• Effortlessly capture site data
• Visualize conditions in real-time
• Automate routine tasks
• Accelerate project decision-making

Opening Doors for More Users

By lowering the learning curve and reducing operational costs, FARO Blink opens the door to professionals who may have previously found 3D scanning too technical or cost-prohibitive. It’s an invitation to a broader market—project managers, field engineers, and even entry-level technicians—to embrace digital workflows confidently.
