i don't have any faro data but we shoot our pointclouds with 2 or 3 camera
and generate them with agisoft.
Although not as accurate it still give's us shitloads of data.
PFtrack can handle al this data pretty easy i must say, and you can attach
your pointcloud data to your plates and it's within seccond pinpoint
accurate.
maybe worth a try :)
