Artec Studio Workflows

Scanning & processing

Capture any physical object with a 3D scanner, create an accurate and high-resolution 3D model.

Artec Studio Truck Scan
Scan with Artec Eva, Spider, or Micro

Connect one of the scanners to Artec Studio and preview the scanning results directly on your computer in real time.

Upload data from Leo or Ray II

Import the projects you scan with Leo and Ray II directly to Artec Studio for processing.

Automated or manual processing

Use automatic processing mode to quickly create a final 3D model, or build your own customized workflow and choose between a wide range of smart and powerful processing algorithms.

Essential workflows

Convert scan data to CAD for reverse engineering or inspection, or prep it for animation and CGI.

Artec Studio multiple scanners
Inspect your model

Artec Studio comes equipped with tools for fast and precise measurements, easy mesh-to-CAD or mesh-to-mesh deviation analysis. Complete essential tasks in Artec Studio, or easily export for more complex inspection.

Reverse engineer your components

From boolean operations to complete automatic scan-to-CAD conversions, streamline your design and manufacturing workflows with the latest essential RE tools in Artec Studio.

Create photorealistic 3D models with photo texturing & AI

Combine geometry data from your Artec scanner with texture data from an external camera or smartphone for extra realistic, texture-perfect 3D assets. With the power of AI, Artec Studio also sharpens textures, boosts resolution, and makes colors pop on your behalf.

Artec Studio Benefits

3d scan data

3D scan black, shiny, or fine areas

Artec Studio analyzes the surface of your object and automatically adjusts the sensitivity of your scanner to pick up areas that are tricky for 3D scanning. As a result, even new users can digitize black, shiny objects, or hair with ease.

artec hd mode

HD Mode

If you’re after the highest quality, we’ve got good news: Artec Studio operates in High-Definition Mode. Step up your scanning with Artec Leo and Eva to capture high-resolution HD data for ultra-sharp, clean, and detail-rich scans.

Artec scan to CAD

Scan-to-CAD for reverse engineering

The right features can make scan-to-CAD for reverse engineering a breeze, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with Artec Studio. Expect CAD-editing tools for hybrid reverse engineering, high-speed alignment, boolean operations, automatic scan-to-CAD conversion, and advanced plane functionality for quick and excellent results. Export your scans and CAD objects to SOLIDWORKS in just one click.

Artec Inspection

Advanced quality inspection. Streamlined.

When it comes to quality inspection, Artec Studio offers the tools you need for streamlining your pre-production, inline, and final inspection workflows: precise measurements, fast, accurate mesh-to-CAD alignment, and mesh-to-mesh or mesh-to-CAD deviation maps.

artec photogrammetry
