Artec 3D scanning for Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC)

Replace days of traditional survey work with a few hours on site – map large areas continuously with Jet, capture large objects or spaces in a single setup using Ray II, and pick up finer details in minutes with Leo.

On-site, Artec 3D scanners deliver on their promise, capturing high-accuracy datasets for clash detection, structural analysis, and BIM modeling results you can trust.

Verify as-built conditions against design intent before work progresses, catching discrepancies early, while they’re still cheap to fix – and get a fast return on your initial investment.

Export scan data directly to Revit, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, PolyWorks, and Geomagic software in standard formats like E57, LAS, PLY, or RCP without conversion or compatibility issues.

Artec 3D offers handheld, terrestrial, and geospatial 3D scanning in a single product ecosystem, allowing you to capture anything from small objects to a full building exterior and combine data into one highly detailed 3D model.

Artec Jet SLAM-based navigation maps continuously through underground structures, enclosed areas, and active construction sites – no satellite signal required.

Artec Leo displays a live, on-screen 3D model, while Ray II and Jet stream to a mobile app. This lets you verify coverage, spot gaps, and confirm data quality in the field. Colored point clouds and textured models then make data analysis straightforward and accessible.

Tie scan data to your coordinate system with RTK or ground control points, minimizing drift and ensuring alignment across large projects.

Artec’s portable, lightweight devices have a short learning curve. Adopting them is practical, even for those who haven’t worked with 3D scanning before — and standard data formats mean you won’t outgrow your toolset as projects scale.

Evaluate the condition of assets, facilities, and infrastructure remotely, reducing the need for scaffolding, rope access, or confined space entry.

Capture the current state of any structure or site — providing a precise 3D record for design validation, renovation, and compliance, as well as detecting clashes to avoid costly refits.

Create accurate digital replicas of existing sites, facilities, and infrastructure to visualize, plan, and manage ongoing renovations.

Track construction, excavation, or remediation progress with regular scans, comparing as-built structures to designs to ensure projects are on track.

Compare scans over time to identify structural changes, deformation, erosion, or wear, including sub-millimeter scale movements.

Calculate stockpile volumes, over/under break, material quantities, and backfill requirements from accurate 3D point cloud data.

Capture terrain, surface features, and site topography quickly with foliage-penetrating LiDAR, replacing hours of traditional fieldwork.

Digitize existing facilities for maintenance planning, space management, and equipment tracking, keeping asset records current without manual measurement.

Create highly detailed, permanent digital records of historic structures and sites, ideal for conservation, restoration planning, and virtual reconstruction.
