FARO Technologies has officially unveiled Blink, a new innovation that aims to revolutionize 3D data capture by making it faster, easier, and more intuitive. Blink offers real-time, high-quality spatial data collection designed for both new and seasoned users in the AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) and facility management sectors.
With Blink, FARO breaks new ground by simplifying the complexities traditionally associated with 3D scanning. Users can capture environments with up to 4 mm accuracy, while its 50 MP image quality ensures rich, detailed visuals. Blink seamlessly integrates with the FARO Sphere® XG platform, giving users end-to-end control — from data capture to processing, sharing, and collaboration.

This launch addresses a major pain point in the industry: the steep learning curve for reality capture tools. With automated workflows and intuitive controls, Blink empowers professionals to perform 3D data capture without needing deep technical expertise. The solution delivers real-time feedback during scans and guides users through the process, minimizing errors and boosting confidence on the job.
Peter Lau, President and CEO of FARO, highlighted Blink’s mission: “Blink is designed to remove the complexity from 3D reality capture, allowing professionals to focus on insights rather than the intricacies of the technology.”
Blink has already gained global recognition, winning a Red Dot Design Award and a Silver title at the New York Design Awards. These accolades reinforce FARO’s dedication to user-focused innovation.
As cities become smarter and buildings more complex, efficient 3D data capture is essential. Blink offers a solution that adapts to these evolving needs — offering speed, precision, and accessibility in one compact device.
FARO’s Blink represents more than just a new product; it signals a shift in how spatial data is gathered, visualized, and used across industries.
