Artec Remote just got a major update. Here's what's new:

◼️Transformation Tool — Manually move and rotate scans within the app to fix orientation issues or view data from a specific angle for inspection, particularly useful for projects captured without the VIS.

◼️Manual Alignment — Select two separate scans and run the alignment algorithm directly in the app for a precise connection, with best results when the Transformation Tool is used first to nudge scans closer together.

◼️Brightness Control — A dedicated Brightness Slider in Panorama mode for manually adjusting photo brightness during the review process, ensuring clarity in varying lighting conditions and avoiding costly rescans due to poor visibility.

◼️Project Navigation just got faster — Optimized scrolling through history scans and sub-folders, keeping the interface snappy and responsive even for complex projects.

Available now on the App Store and Google Play.

We're hosting a free webinar on April 23 — an expert-led talk on 3D scanning in product design, featuring Luca Ciccone and Isaac Neaves from Saucony.

Registration: https://ow.ly/pCNk50YzO45

They'll walk through how they use Artec Spider II across three very different use cases: digitizing archival designs for reissue, capturing hand-sculpted collaboration pieces for production, and scanning R&D prototypes to validate performance geometry.

No sales pitch — just real workflows and an open Q&A.

If you work on physical consumer products, this one's worth an hour of your time!

A forklift accident cost Wolfgang K. his lower leg. Years later, his prosthetics team at Sanitätshaus Klinz wanted to give him something more than a standard bath prosthesis. Knowing his lifelong love of diving, biomedical engineer Lisa Pabst proposed a one-of-a-kind design: an octopus with tentacles wrapping the lower leg and a nostalgic diving helmet at the ankle. To make it work, Pabst scanned Wolfgang's residual limb and his other leg with Artec Eva, processed the data in Artec Studio, and sculpted the full design in Geomagic Freeform.

"It took me four years to convince myself I needed to spend $4,000 on a 3D printer, but it took me 15 minutes to convince myself to buy a $40K scanner." That's Chad Forward, an automotive designer based in Australia, on the moment Artec Leo changed his reverse engineering workflow.

The project: building a 1957 International Metro Step Van from scratch, pairing its vintage body with a supercharged 6.2L HEMI Hellcat V8 engine producing more than 700 horsepower. The original body was too worn out and rusty to restore, so the team cut up and sculpted a factory body to the desired shape, then captured it in minutes with Artec Leo.

Scan data was processed in Artec Studio into an .STL file, imported into Autodesk Alias as the blueprint for a new body surface, and loaded into SOLIDWORKS for modeling chassis and engineering components around accurate 3D replicas of the Hellcat drivetrain.

Before scanning, measuring up a chassis could take an entire day and still miss something critical. Now, from old physical parts to CAD models ready for manufacturing or prototyping takes just a few hours.

0.05 mm resolution. Blue-light technology. From coin inscriptions to engine components, Artec Spider II combines ultra-high resolution and full-color capture for accurate 3D models. It covers small to medium-sized objects at 30 FPS over Thunderbolt 4, 4x faster than its predecessor.

▪️ Complex geometry: Deep holes and sharp edges transform into accurate 3D data.
▪️ Object size S → M: Scan small prototypes through automotive transmission parts, all in crisp detail.
▪️ Black & shiny surfaces: Spider II is designed to help you capture all surfaces – even those that are notoriously difficult to capture.
▪️ Target-free scanning: No adhesive targets, no contact. Start scanning immediately. Works in forensic scenes, medical settings, and restricted areas where targets aren't an option.
▪️ Easy integration: Combine scan data with other Artec scanners in Artec Studio for mixed-size projects.
▪️ Temperature stabilization: Reaches optimal temperature quickly for precise results regardless of surrounding conditions.
▪️ Safe scanning: Eye-safe, easy on parts, completely contact-free.

All Artec Studio’s alignment methods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56NtjBxPOAA

Alignment is part of nearly every 3D scanning project, and how you approach it directly affects registration quality. In our new webinar we cover alignment methods in Artec Studio 20: when to use each one, how to set them up, and what to do when things don't work as expected.

We also get into scanning strategy, overlap planning, and handling tricky cases like symmetrical objects, thin parts, shape changes during scanning, and mesh-to-CAD inspection with datum alignment. Save to watch later!

🏺What does terrain mapping have to do with 2,200-year-old pottery? More than you'd think.

When new Hellenistic pottery fragments from around 200–100 BCE were discovered, digital archaeologists at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam / Universiteit van Amsterdam faced a challenge. The ceramics featured a potentially infinite number of decorative patterns, making origin matching far from simple.

To compare the fragments, the team needed surface detail that traditional methods couldn't deliver. Artec Spider II, provided by Artec Ambassador 4C, picked up everything from dents to tiny molded features thanks to its high-fidelity data capture. After processing in Artec Studio, they generated a digital surface elevation model, then overlaid the 3D models in a Geographical Information System (GIS) as if they were terrestrial maps.

What the eagle motif on those two shards revealed about their origin, and how the team now has the chance to pioneer machine learning for archaeological classification and interpretation, is in the full case study: https://ow.ly/FnKj50YwWp8

When a pipe leaks at an oil refinery, shutting down isn't an option. Turning off machinery like petrochemical reactors spontaneously would cause equipment the size of a multi-story building to fail, so the C**t Group performs "online" leak repairs while facilities stay running.

Until recently, that meant a two-person team hand-sketching affected piping, a process that took hours and struggled with complex, odd geometries. The C**t Group's Head of Engineering had also been skeptical of 3D scanning after receiving unusable scan data a decade earlier.

👉 That changed with Artec Leo. Its wireless design and built-in display let technicians capture as-fitted geometries in the field, confirming they've got the data they need as scanned areas go from green to red on-screen. Technicians were scanning piping in just 15 to 20 minutes using only the presets Leo came with, then processing scans in Artec Studio, where Autopilot automatically selects the right algorithm.

The C**t Group now runs an up to 18-times faster workflow, with fewer reworks and more projects completed with the same team.

The Ring of Hope. Inscribed: "Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire."

A gold ring gifted to Oskar Schindler in Czechia where 1,200 Jewish lives were saved. The original was lost, but the model used to cast the original ring survived and eventually made its way to Melbourne Holocaust Museum in Australia.

80 years later, Arks Foundation opened the Museum of Survivors on the very same site, and they needed that ring back. So Melbourne Holocaust Museum turned to Artec Ambassador QUBIC to make it happen.

Because the priceless heirloom could not be placed into a clamp or holder, and 3D scanning spray was not permitted, QUBIC chose Artec Spider II for its ultra-high resolution and contact-free capture. Spider II captured every fine marking and the inscription, and Artec Studio then processed the data, fusing data points, polishing, and adding texture into an incredibly realistic 3D model. The whole process took one hour.

From there, the file traveled from Melbourne to Czechia, where it is now being used to create a gold reproduction for the museum. The Ring of Hope is going home.

With Artec 3D, you already have high-quality scan data. The real question is what happens next.

A client requests a full FAI report. A drawing calls for GD&T evaluation across 30+ callouts. A production run requires the same inspection repeated daily with statistical repeatability.

These are dedicated inspection tasks, and they call for dedicated inspection software. One of the strongest options available today is PolyWorks|Inspector.

We've integrated it into our ecosystem, so you can go from scan to inspection in a couple of clicks. Head to our website to see how it fits into your setup: https://ow.ly/QmfC50Yt1Tj
