2022. In December, FARO Technologies, a global leader in 4D digital reality solutions, today announced the acquisition of SiteScape, an innovator of LiDAR 3D scanning software solutions. SiteScape enables LiDAR-equipped mobile devices to easily digitally capture indoor spaces, providing an easily accessible entry point for scanning physical spaces for a wide range of applications.

Integrating SiteScape’s iOS-enabled low-resolution LiDAR capture capability into the FARO Sphere platform is another step in streamlining multiple capture methods in a centralized environment that can be accessed in a single environment within a single coordinate system. This unique opportunity allows FARO construction and equipment customers to access the widest portfolio of reality capture methods on the market, which now ranges from low-resolution Lidar, 360-degree photo, video, mobile mapping to laser scanning of the earth’s surface.

“We are excited to add SiteScape and its groundbreaking 3D LiDAR scanning software to our portfolio of reality capture solutions,” said Michael Burger, President and CEO of FARO. “There are already millions of LiDAR-enabled mobile devices on the market, so the addition of SiteScape is opening, opening up the benefits of the solutions offered by FARO to a significant range of users.”

“I’m excited to add SiteScape’s proprietary software to the FARO family of cloud services. FARO accelerates our vision of enabling a wide range of customers to gain meaningful insights from their digital reality environments,” added Andy Puch, CEO of SiteScape.
