What’s new in Artec Studio 20
All-new features unlock the potential of 3D scanning & photogrammetry
New: Workflows for fast, repeatable results
Create custom workflows
Better meet your specific needs, with tailored workflows that accelerate 3D model processing, and slot seamlessly into existing setups.
Automate repeat tasks
Line up algorithms to run in sequence, so you don’t have to configure parameters each time, or wait at your PC.
Easily share workflows
Send your workflows to colleagues or clients and achieve uniform, high-quality results, regardless of user experience.
Utilize command prompts
Automate even further – Artec Studio 20 now supports scripting for autonomous file-to-model workflows.
Spider II made smarter, faster, more powerful
Upgrade for access to breakthrough features like Live Scan Decimation, Autopilot, and Variable Gain, which optimize and streamline Spider II 3D scanning.
Capture ultra-high resolution, full-coverage scans with Micro II
HD Mode for Micro II allows for even more detailed 3D scans, while 3-axis support makes it easier to capture intricate geometries in full.
Improved visuals, better scans with Artec Point
Enhanced visualization allows you to pick up more detail with every scan, so each capture session is more intuitive and at least 2x faster.
Next-level photogrammetry, powered by AI
Further integration for best-in-class results
Artec Studio is now a more complete offering with broader support for popular file formats like USD & RCP and third-party software such as Zeiss Inspect.
Artec Point visualization upgrades, as well as refined masking and multi-camera support in AI Photogrammetry, were initially launched in February 2025.
