What’s new in Artec Studio 18
Faster, easier 3D scanning with best-in-class results
Multi-resolution Smart Fusion
Artec Studio’s unprecedented Smart Fusion algorithm quickly and easily combines data from different Artec 3D scanners into incredibly detailed 3D meshes. Capture large items or areas with Ray II, fill in gaps with Artec Leo, then register both scans in a single step. What you’ll get is a mix-data model: the wider scan captured in one resolution, more detailed areas digitized in another.

4X faster HD Mode
Artec 3D’s groundbreaking HD Mode isn’t just the new default setting for Artec Eva and Leo – it’s also continually being improved. Now faster and with a simplified UI, point density and frame frequency is adjusted for you. HD reconstructing is more intuitive: you no longer need to mess with sliders, simply choose one of three presets and the algorithm does the rest.

2X faster registration
Spend less time registering captured frames with Global Registration – an algorithm that’s now even faster, on average working twice as quickly as before.

Single-step mesh optimization
Ensure there are no folded or dangling polygons in your mesh with Artec Studio’s healing tool, as part of a new mesh optimization algorithm that carries out mesh-healing, simplification, and small object filtering at the click of a button.

Effortless manual editing
In Artec Studio 18, you can now ctrl+click on misaligned frames to locate and delete them as needed, so you’re only ever a few clicks from perfect fusion. With a new Quick Transformation Tool, you can also lock one rendered item in place and freely move another, to rescale, rotate, and translate objects without changing everything in the workspace.

Context-relevant quick panel
Designed to provide users with fast access to all the features they’ll need at the click of a button, Artec Studio’s new Quick Panel now displays options that are directly relevant to what’s going on in their workspace.

Stunning color capture for creating realistic models
Boost color contrast with AI
Artec Studio is now capable of using a neural network to decode raw texture frames in a way that improves color contrast, doubles scan resolution, and improves overall texture quality.

Scene lighting optimization
Artec Studio 18 allows you to move light sources around a 3D scene and optimize the way meshes are rendered and displayed to achieve the best possible results.

A streamlined quality inspection workflow
2D section analysis
Break models down into segments and inspect them in-depth, area-by-area, with Artec Studio Section Analysis. Automatically align models and meshes, before deploying 2D cross-section analysis to find discrepancies. Designed to minimize deviations, this feature is perfect for ensuring accuracy during quality inspection or reverse engineering.

Automate defect detection
Identify inaccuracies much faster with Artec Studio’s new and improved 3D Compare Map. Don’t inspect a model’s surface manually, pinpoint its least accurate areas at pace, by asking our algorithm to search for maximum deviations in mesh-CAD pairs.

Updated deviation mapping
Artec Studio’s enhanced 3D Compare Map allows you to calculate the distance between mesh-CAD pairs in different ways – either along normals or from one point to another.

Optimize part thickness
Discover where and why thickness variations occur with Thickness Mapping. This allows you to measure thickness against a given reference, and ensure that narrow geometries aren’t at risk of breakage.

Tolerance Check Mode
Working with a part that needs to meet industry-specific tolerances? Enter Tolerance Check Mode and your 3D map will be re-rendered, with areas outside specified limits highlighted.

Mesh-to-CAD auto alignment
Before you can even begin inspecting quality, you need to align mesh-CAD pairs. This used to be a manual process, but in Artec Studio 18 it’s now automatic, requiring no user input.

Target thickness compensation
Compensate for the thickness of targets to maximize the precision of measurements captured with 3D metrology tools like the Artec Metrology Kit.

Certified for heavy duty deployment
Artec Studio has now gained PtB certification, so you can engage in industrial 3D scanning, safe in the knowledge that you’ve got a tool well-qualified for the job.
- To gain PtB recognition, one of the most highly sought after certifications in the field of quality inspection, our products first have had to undergo stringent testing.
- This ensures they meet German industrial measurement standards.
- Artec Studio has proven once again that it is at the cutting-edge of the field, with solutions for addressing applications everywhere the internationally recognized certification is valued.
- Ideal from applications from reverse engineering to quality assurance in medical and automotive.

Advanced tools for all your reverse engineering needs
Create draft angles
When 3D modeling or reverse engineering cast parts, you can now create a draft angle on their outer surfaces in Artec Studio, so they’re easier to remove without damaging molds.

Tools for tidying up
Very few parts have exclusively sharp edges – use Artec Studio’s chamfer and fillet tools to give models a level of polish, and provide finishing touches to reverse engineered parts.

Instant deviation analysis
While reverse engineering, you can now instantly check for deviations while extracting CAD shapes from meshes, without ever having to leave the Construct tab.

Move & offset faces
Whether you’re creating a gap to allow for deviations or changing a part to reflect design intent, Artec Studio’s move and offset tools are perfect for replicating and modifying faces elsewhere in the workspace.

Improved auto-surfacing
Autosurfacing was one of Artec Studio 17’s most popular features. As so many used the previous algorithm to turn polygonal meshes into models with curved ‘NURBS’ surfaces, Artec Studio has been equipped with a new version, to help these users achieve higher-quality geometry reconstruction.

Surface thickening tools
Reverse engineering complex objects with non-primitive, freeform surfaces? The latest version of Artec Studio allows you to solidify these by thickening the surface of a mesh or CAD model, and lend them greater stability in applications such as 3D printing.
