Artec 3D scanning applications in industrial design
With its precision, convenience, and speed, 3D scanning has become a must-have in many industrial design and manufacturing applications. The Artec lineup features powerful 3D scanners for industrial design, reverse engineering, quality control, and many other use cases. With the range of options available and seamless export into widely used CAD and CAM programs, you can be confident we have thebest industrial 3D scannerfor your needs.
A French company specializing in farming machinery relies on Artec Leo to repair and modify agricultural equipment to improve harvests.
With thousands of unique furniture pieces from across the company’s nine brands lined up for digital transformation, the design team needed just the right scanner to complete their scan-to-CGI imaging pipeline – one that’s 100% portable, accurate to below a millimeter, and can capture furniture-sized objects in minutes with no rescans needed.
With Artec Leo’s portability and onscreen display, combined with Artec Ray’s wide scanning range, the aircraft was easily and accurately captured in its entirety, with a realistic 3D model processed and created in Artec Studio.
When an experienced engineer needed to capture the exact dimensions of two massive hydroelectric draft tubes, he knew the right tool for the job: Artec Eva.
An Italian craftsman needed to find a way to scan the decks of handmade yachts, and convert the scans into CAD drawings, to build custom teak decks.
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.
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.
When the team at 3D Printing Colorado first came across a LinkedIn post about a scanning challenge with an impending deadline, they knew it was something worth checking out.
Using Artec Leo and Space Spider, along with Artec Turntable and ZBrush 3D modeling software, the kayak and all its components were easily scanned and turned into a remarkable 3D model, without complications.
A 15-meter vertical pipe on an FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) vessel operating off West Africa was fractured and required urgent replacement to maintain production.
A sports-focused R&D company chose 3D scanning for creating custom, perfectly-fitting aerodynamic skinsuits for cyclists of all levels.
Artec Space Spider helps Swiss package maker save time and money.
When 3D scanning large numbers of objects, both time and human error should be taken into account. By automating the scanning process, errors can be reduced and scanning times can be extremely shortened.
This started out as a job for Artec. We were asked to scan parts of a car for our client. When we saw the minivan, we fell in love with it and decided to scan it from top to bottom. It took our scanning pro Alexey a day to do it.
