Artec 3D scanners for QI solutions
Take your inspection process to the next level with fast 3D coordinate measuring technologies.
3D scanning for inspection
Engineers and metrology experts from top manufacturing companies that produce everything from automotive parts to medical equipment choose 3D coordinate measuring systems for their submillimeter accuracy, speed, and unbeatable ease of use – even when working with soft materials, objects with complex geometries, or freeform shapes.
Unlike traditional manual and contact-based measuring tools, which are often slow, time-consuming, and difficult to use, Artec scanners can with minimal training be quickly and efficiently used in design inspection, manufacturing control, delivery inspection, and more.

The accuracy you need is in your hands
Or on your desktop. Or in your workspace. When it comes to QI, accuracy is paramount. Here’s how 3D scanning provides the best solutions in your industry.
Metrology-grade solutions
From large machines and wide sections to tiny parts and thin mechanical pieces, Artec 3D solutions are fast, easy to use, and provide maximum precision.
For inspecting large parts or areas
Use the Artec Ray long-distance laser scanner to create high-accuracy scans of large areas or objects such as vehicles, airplanes, ships, wind turbines, or factory floors.
Submillimeter accuracy
Capture large objects with submillimeter distance precision and best-in-class angular accuracy.
Save time scanning huge objects
Capturing up to 208,000 points per second, Ray can effectively capture large objects in minimal time.
For inspecting small parts
A desktop 3D scanner perfect for quality inspection of small parts such as mechanical and electric components.
Up to 10-micron accuracy
Artec Micro is the ideal solution for scanning your small objects in high precision.
Automated solution
Save yourself the hassle – all the data of your scan is captured in just one click.
Accurate handheld measuring solutions
Artec handheld 3D measuring tools are extremely versatile. They can be used for quickly inspecting a wide variety of parts of different sizes and taken to a vast range of environments – this is especially useful when the object cannot be easily moved to an inspection lab.
Scan and inspect more objects
Handheld scanners are fast, portable, and easy to use. This means you can perform more inspections throughout more stages of the production process, thereby increasing overall quality.
Target-free
Artec scanners do not require any additional tracking accessories such as positioning targets or reference spheres. You can fire up the scanner, point it at the part you want to inspect, and start scanning right away. If you do want to use these add-ons in your workflow, though, Artec scanners can work with them, too.
Ergonomics and portability
Unlike traditional contact-based measuring tools, Artec scanners are lightweight and fully portable, able to be taken to a part or an object that you want to inspect. The scanners can be used both around the office and out in the field.
Up to 35 mln points/s
With Artec 3D measuring technologies you get highly detailed information about the scanned object in record time.
From 0.8 kg
Artec 3D solutions are lightweight and give you total flexibility and freedom over the QI process.

Artec Studio
Artec 3D’s advanced data capturing and processing algorithms assure you of the most seamless experience in 3D model creation. This software offers a range of inspection tools and scan-to-CAD features, such as mesh to CAD model comparison via surface distance mapping.
You can analyze the data from any Artec scanner with Artec Studio. If you need to go a step further, Artec Studio is also compatible with all major inspection software, including Geomagic Control X and PolyWorks.
Scan-to-CAD
For a faster, more streamlined workflow, import STEP, IGES, or X_T CAD files and align your scan to a CAD model without having to leave Artec Studio.
Primitives for accurate measurements
Fit spheres, cones, planes, and cylinders to your mesh and use these mathematical shapes for taking highly accurate measurements. For example, measure any deviation from a plane or fitted cylinder.
Surface distance map
Carry out quick surface distance map comparisons and accurate measurements of any 3D model you create. Add annotations, take a screenshot of your results, or export to CSV.
