Artec 3D

Artec Studio CAD Toolkit for Reverse Engineering and Inspection Part II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p3GJ1810c8

In Part I, we built CAD geometry from scan data. Part II puts fitted primitives and CAD models to work as references for measuring, inspecting and aligning scanned parts.

Learn about:
- Measuring distances
- Distance Map and Thickness Map
- 2D Section analysis
- Datum Alignment, which simulates how a part is assembled in real life
- Precise Positioning, for reverse engineering scans with no reference data

If your work includes quality inspection of mass-produced parts, stay until the end. The session closes with third-party integration, including the option to export a mesh into an existing Control X template and get a full inspection report. A time saver for that work.

Engineering rule of thumb: your measuring tool should be at least 4x more accurate than the tolerance you’re checking.

Working to a ±0.1 mm tolerance? Then you need 0.025 mm. That’s what Artec Neo delivers with targets.

Every unit is individually calibrated and verified before shipment. A robot runs the acceptance test per VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3, and yours ships with its own accuracy certificate.

Put targets around the datums and fits that carry your tolerances. Scan everything else target-free, in full color.

Today we're launching Artec Twins, built to work at a landscape scale. It processes and renders everything from construction sites to cities with kilometers of infrastructure.

Its multi-source data fusion combines data from handheld 3D scanning, SLAM-LiDAR, and aerial capture. The result is a single, full-scale dataset with high accuracy where it matters.

Artec Jet and Artec Ray II are both professional-grade LiDAR scanners built for long-range capture, but they are engineered to solve different problems. Artec Jet is a mobile, SLAM-based LiDAR system that maps environments on the move. Artec Ray II is a stationary, tripod laser scanner for large object & area scanning.

In our new article, we explain how each technology works, where they excel, and how to decide which one (or which combination) fits your project >> https://ow.ly/XJCR50ZUV0X
