We're bringing the full scanner lineup to . Stop by 📍Booth 8B18, Hall 8.1 to get hands-on with Artec Leo, Spider II, Point, Ray II, Micro II, and Eva, and see how structured-light and laser 3D scanning supports workflows from reverse engineering and inspection to rapid prototyping and mold design.

Our team and trusted partners Ningbo FLD-TECH, Shanghai UP 3D Technology, Tongbao Smart, and Digital Island will be there to walk you through live demos, workflow optimization, and project-specific recommendations.

We'll also be showing the newest iteration of Artec Studio for seamless data processing, mesh editing, and CAD export, so you can see the full scan-to-print pipeline in one place.

External Display For Artec Leo

Artec Leo lets you cast its on-board screen to a browser window, giving you a second display to observe the 3D scene.

To cast your Leo screen, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the external device is connected to the same network as Leo.
2. In the 'Projects' screen, tap 'Settings'.
3. Select the 'Network' section.
4. Toggle 'Cast screen to browser'.
5. Locate the scanner's IP address that appears near the toggle.
6. Open a web browser on the external device.
7. Enter Leo's IP address and press Enter.
8. On Leo, start scanning or open a project.

Artec Studio Lite vs Pro: Which is best for you? https://ow.ly/pHbo50YpbgV

In 2025, we made a break from tradition. Best known as an industry leader in professional 3D scanning, we launched a standalone photogrammetry software: Artec Studio Lite. For the first time, Artec’s 3D data capture expertise was opened to anyone with an everyday smartphone. But this wasn't a full pivot. We continue to offer high-end 3D scanners and a premium Artec Studio Pro software. So, Lite vs. Pro. When would you use each solution? In our new article, we explain which product is best suited to many popular 3D modeling applications.

Our partners are showing up strong at BIEMH this week, and we're kicking things off with a spotlight on Global Geosystems.

They're on the floor putting Artec 3D scanners to work on one of the biggest industrial manufacturing stages in the world. Live demos, real conversations, real applications. If you're at the show, swing by their booth at 📍Hall 3, H21 and see what they've got running.

We're proud to have partners like this representing our technology in Spain!

Every groove, every gear — captured in full detail with the Artec Point.

Here's how we scanned this transmission from start to finish:

1. Targets
Place around 120 targets for full coverage — fewer can work too, as long as 3 to 5 are in the scanner's FOV and roughly parallel. On rough or uneven surfaces, build a target cloud from two positions for rock-solid alignment.

2. Calibration
Artec Studio walks you through it in minutes. Do it once at the start or after a long break — no need to recalibrate between back-to-back scans.

3. Scanning
The Artec Point gives you three scanning modes. For a complex part like this transmission, 17 lasers handle wide coverage beautifully, while the single laser gets into the tight spots. Use smooth, circular motions on larger surfaces and slow, deliberate passes where precision matters. Need finer detail in a specific area? Drop into 7-laser mode.

4. Resolution
0.2mm resolution for maximum detail, or 0.4mm when you want to move faster without sacrificing quality. Activate Refine Geometry mode to sharpen results up to 8x.

5. Processing
Around 2 hours to process — and the result speaks for itself. Use the Targets option for automatic scan alignment, or align multiple target clouds manually with Global Registration before fusion. From there, the default Fusion settings handle the rest.

✈️ Aircraft digitization workflow.

Winter conditions, tight access windows, and an aircraft that needs both full scale geometry and close range detail. On this project, our team paired Artec Ray II and Artec Leo. Here are the tips and tricks that made the difference.

• We had two operators on site, plus one person from the company, and spent at least an hour on day one aligning goals and expected output.
• We agreed which areas had to be captured at higher detail, and which areas only needed overall geometry.
• While Ray II captured areas within its line of sight, Leo worked in parallel on zones Ray II could not see, helping reduce total scanning time.
• For clean alignment later, we coordinated so shared areas stayed unchanged until both Ray II and Leo had captured them.
• We captured shared static geometry between Ray II coverage and Leo detail passes, so the datasets had clear reference zones to align.
• We downloaded data to a PC periodically to validate completeness, spot gaps early, and avoid discovering missing coverage after leaving site.
• We kept project files organized from the first scan, agreed naming conventions and a shared understanding of area names, then renamed consistently when moving to the next zone. The names did not have to match aviation terms, they just needed to be unambiguous for everyone involved.
• We varied height and access, using different stair heights to capture tricky exterior areas around doors and edges where a single angle often is not enough.

If you are digitizing aircraft for inspection, reverse engineering, or MRO documentation, this workflow helps you leave site with complete coverage and fewer alignment surprises in Artec Studio.

When 9,500 plus students get access to professional 3D scanning, education shifts from theory to real production thinking. At Universidad César Vallejo, Tarapoto campus, digital manufacturing is becoming part of the academic backbone, helping students build engineering skills from the very first cycles. Together with CAD Solutions, the campus has incorporated up a full scan to design to print ecosystem.

This detailed 3D model of a piston head, measuring 10 cm in diameter and 10 cm in height, is a great example of how AI photogrammetry can approach a digitization challenge.

We started with a five minute video capture. In Artec Studio, we reconstructed the model from the footage in about two hours. For scale and alignment stability, we used an A4 printed reference cross, captured a second pass with the part flipped over, and added targets to break symmetry.
