Art and design 3D models

Thanks to Artec Leo’s onboard automatic processing and in-built HD display, scanning was done in a flash and with no need to worry about any details missed.

As you can see, the figurine has a very rich and fine geometry from top to bottom – perfect for testing the capabilities of HD Mode.

Have a look at each angle of this 3D model and notice how well everything has been captured — from its finest details to its texture, its ornamental design, and its altogether exquisite appearance.

These elaborately-crafted wooden doors were scanned with an Eva in merely a handful of minutes. Since the resulting 3D model was destined for use in a movie, the doors’ many intricate carvings needed to pass close visual inspection.

Can you capture color? With the new Leo, texture stands out vibrantly and bold, while fine lines and surfaces are accurately captured for a true-to-life 3D model.

The chair’s crisp edges along its cross rails, legs, and stiles, together with its precise interfaces among components, called for a high degree of precision.

What appears to be a normal, everyday office chair, plucked from the glass and steel confines of a typical high-tech office in sunny California, serves as a fine example of capturing modern furniture with Artec Leo.

Now, if this hyper-realistic 3D model of an adorable bear doesn’t conjure thoughts of a jolly Christmas, what will?

Team Artec is constantly putting 3D scanners through all sorts of tests to see how well they handle a wide range of objects, as well as to delineate the best path to follow for delivering the most accurate results. One such test project is showcased here on this page.

A copper key scanned with Artec Micro. The key had to be sprayed due to its reflective surface.

Part of an outdoor fountain basin, this 3D model of a croc was created with the Artec Leo 3D scanner and the powerful Artec Studio software.

The craftsman who created this feast for the eyes definitely put a great deal of effort into their work. So did Artec Space Spider and Eva, the two handheld 3D scanners which were used to capture everything down to the finest features of this geometry-rich object in order to make the 3D model look as impressive as the original work of art, inspired by Doom, the epic shooter.

Leo was able to scan this fountain’s 7-meter basin in just under fifty minutes, with no need for additional preparation or the use of extra features to improve the scanner’s tracking.

It took only two scans of five minutes each to render the crystalline shape of the object, captured here in precious detail and high resolution.

If you're in 3D, how could your year start without scanning the animal of the year? So 2022 was ushered in with a truly exquisite scan of a golden tiger.

This beautiful copper heart-shaped pendant was scanned with the fully automatic desktop scanner Artec Micro in just 5 minutes.

Covered in tiny knobs, pockmarked dots on the hollowed-out, hard-to-reach insides, and we’re not even talking about the tiny dimensions. This jaguar ring is a challenging obstacle course for any 3D scanner, and served as a good test to demonstrate Artec Micro’s capabilities.

This lion is one of two nearly identical bronze animals prowling alongside the steps of a town hall. Mounted on a pedestal, it was a bit hard to reach, but not for Leo — its namesake!

This bronze monument overlooking San Francisco Bay was captured in full daylight with Artec Leo in only 45 minutes, as the sun was rising up above the water.

This tall statue in central Luxembourg, which commemorates one of the most famous local writers, was easily captured using a synergy of the wireless handheld 3D scanner Artec Leo and the tripod-mounted laser scanner Artec Ray.

The cap was made of semi-transparent plastic and required a bit of dusting with an airbrush. Then it was mounted on the scanner’s rotating platform with a clamp. A couple of mouse clicks — and scanning commenced.

To demo Artec Studio’s Photo Texture feature, we combined Artec Leo’s precise geometric scan data with an iPhone camera’s photographs.

This ordinary office Troll was scanned with an Artec Leo 3D scanner. In exchange for the promise of some meaty morsels, the troll agreed to pose for the scanning by leaning on a chair that was later removed during post-processing in Artec Studio.
