FARO Technologies makes 3D measurement and imaging hardware and software for two primary markets: manufacturing quality control (3D metrology) and architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC). In manufacturing, FARO's core products include the FaroArm (a portable articulated measurement arm), the Vantage laser tracker (for large-volume measurement in aerospace and automotive), the LEAP ST handheld scanner (a newer product targeting a segment of the metrology market FARO had not previously served), and laser projectors used to guide assembly. In AEC and adjacent markets, FARO sells the Focus laser scanner for building documentation and BIM workflows, the Orbis mobile scanner for indoor 3D capture, and FARO Zone software for public safety scene reconstruction. FARO sells primarily through a direct sales force in roughly 28 countries, supplemented by distributors, and serves over 14,000 customers, with no meaningful customer concentration. Revenue breaks down into hardware (~65-70%), service contracts (~20-22%), and software (~12-13%), with recurring revenue around 18-21% of total sales and growing as FARO shifts customers toward software subscriptions. Hardware sales are capital expenditure decisions, making FARO's revenue sensitive to manufacturing cycles and customer CapEx budgets. FARO outsourced manufacturing to Sanmina and has been expanding its distribution through a partnership with Topcon for AEC channels and an OEM white-label agreement in metrology, with the goal of significantly increasing the number of sellers of its products.
