Artec 3D Launches Artec Studio 16 Featuring Artec Cloud, Enabling Collaboration from Anywhere

Cloud integration, CAD for reverse engineering and quality inspection, AI-powered HD Mode improvements, and photorealistic texture for CGI highlight Artec Studio 16 enhancements

New Video: Doing the impossible with Artec 3D

From industrial design to manufacturing to healthcare or CGI, with Artec scanners, ‘impossible’ is a word that we have little reason to use.

On scanning horses and digitally presenting them as art with Artec Leo

When a scanner is used on a moving body, it receives conflicting spatial coordinates, so instead of a homogeneous shape, a three-dimensional “motion blur” is the result. In this case, digitally capturing the horses as perfectly as possible was a must.

Digitizing the oldest colonial boat in Australia unearthed in future Sydney Metro station

If you hear about something unexpected surfacing in Australia, no one would blame you for first thinking about some kind of wily mammal making its way into town, or an alarmingly large spider that you’d be better off leaving alone. In this case, the surprise came in the form of a boat.

Perfect fit. Protection. Comfort. This face mask has it all, thanks to 3D technology

3D scanning with Artec Eva helped a Silicon Valley dad invent the ultimate respiratory mask to protect children against air pollution and viruses.

Oldest known T. rex and Artec 3D meet again for a Japanese museum installation

See how researchers of Naturalis Biodiversity Center used Artec Space Spider to create a 3D replica of the oldest known Tyrannosaurus Rex for Japanese Dinosaur Museum in Nagasaki.

Scaling down an intricately designed 20-foot statue with Artec Leo to raise awareness of human trafficking

They say that all roads lead to Rome. And in one case, a smooth journey from Canada to the Vatican was ensured via the use of 3D scanning.

Forbes, MSN report on how pairing 3D scanning with phenotyping can help feed the world

By scanning individual plants with Artec 3D scanners, scientists can identify plants with the best traits and use them to breed superior crops with better yields.

Validate parts like a pro with Artec Micro and Geomagic Control X

In this video, you’re taken through the process of analyzing the shape of a small mechanical part in order to detect and pinpoint deviations from a reference CAD model — a critical step in any manufacturing workflow.

Maximizing crop yields with high-throughput phenotyping using Artec Space Spider

A researcher focused on high-throughput phenotyping of perennial ryegrass needed a way to non-destructively measure 160 individual plants in the field 6-8 times over the duration of his project, to help identify specific plants with the most desirable traits for plant breeders and farmers.

New Video: HD Mode – a brand new algorithm for stunningly sharp and clean 3D scans

If you’d like to learn more about HD Mode and what improvements you can expect, make sure to watch one of the latest workshops by Artec 3D training and 3D scanning specialist Anton Popov.

New Video: Combining 3D scans from different Artec 3D scanners

In this workshop, our training and 3D scanning specialist Anton Popov shows how you can combine data from several Artec scanners using either of the two workflows: combining raw data (scans) or processed data (fusions).

Everyone’s talking about that 100-year-old Harley-Davidson

While the story of this 1919 Harley is set in the Netherlands, the news traveled far and wide.

Exquisite VR/AR-ready 3D models in minutes: the Pikcells way, with Artec Eva

Artec Eva is regularly used both in-house and at client locations for scanning difficult-to-3D model objects, particularly those with complex geometries, after which these scans are transformed into AR/VR-ready 3D models.

DNH 155: How Artec Space Spider helped reconstruct a 2-million-year-old skull

Archaeologists working in South Africa’s “Cradle of Humankind” utilized a handheld 3D scanner during excavation & manual reconstruction to help safely piece back together an extremely rare hominid cranium from hundreds of unearthed fragments.

How the University of Dundee uses Artec 3D scanners in their Medical Art program and beyond

University medical art students need accurate 3D models as a foundation for their work as medical illustrators. The University of Dundee teaches them how to use Artec Eva and Space Spider for creating 3D models.

Equipping helicopters for rescue missions, filming, surveillance, and more with Artec Eva and Space Spider

The task in this case: to equip a helicopter with a downward and diagonally facing camera for capturing aerial views of the area beneath it, for use in rescue missions and environmental surveillance, among other applications.

Artec 3D scanners go over the Andes to shine new light on the history of ancient Peru

An archaeologist needed a way to digitally preserve ancient Peruvian artifacts and petroglyphs in damp, humid conditions, far more reliably and quickly than traditional photogrammetry.

Bringing a limited-edition 1919 Harley-Davidson back to life in the Netherlands

Essential for the ignition to start and the engine to run, the vintage motorcycle’s distributor cap was 3D printed from a 3D model of a legacy part scanned with Artec Space Spider.
