Easy 3D scanning in Artec Studio

Powerful 3D imaging software is critical to a smooth scanning experience. It quite literally controls how the scanner captures data and with what level of precision. Artec Studio features the most advanced 3D data algorithms which give you high precision in your results, while at the same time make 3D scanning intuitive and user-friendly.

It’s very simple to scan in Artec Studio thanks to its 3D Radar mode. Artec Studio will show you that you are holding the scanner at the optimal distance by visualizing the real-time 3D data in green. Move the scanner a little too close and the image will turn red, a little too far back and it will turn blue. Keep the data capture green to be sure you are getting the best results.

Powerful algorithms for fast, intuitive scanning

No need to prepare your object in advance, just point the 3D scanner and shoot.

Auto-continue allows you to stop scanning and then instantly pick up where you left off.

Best in class texture and geometry tracking algorithms for the quickest and smoothest scanning experience

Intuitive algorithms for scanning black, shiny, or fine objects with ease.

Smart Base Removal automatically eliminates the base on which your object is standing, even if that surface is curved, and deletes everything below this section. This leaves you with just the data you need, without having to edit it out.

Even new users can 3D scan black, shiny or fine areas

Artec Studio 15 analyzes the surface of your object and automatically adjusts the sensitivity of your scanner to pick up even tricky areas for 3D scanning. As a result, even new users can digitize black, shiny objects or hair with ease!

Scan on a Mac

In addition to installing Artec Studio via Bootcamp, Mac users can also make high quality, accurate scans using our free ScanApp standalone application. Both new and experienced users will appreciate the easy way to scan, as well as the clean, ergonomic interface. Users can perform basic model processing in ScanApp and then export the results for more extensive processing in Artec Studio on a Windows PC or their Mac via Bootcamp

Turning your scan data into a 3D model

The processing workflow explained.

Fast, Automated Processing

Whether you are new to 3D scanning and require step-by-step guidance in 3D data processing, or are an experienced user looking to speed up your workflow, Artec Studio’s breakthrough automated processing features set a new horizon in 3D scanning.

Autopilot mode: no compromise precision

Using the AS Autopilot, run through 4 easy steps to an accurate, watertight model.

-Automatically applies the optimal post-processing algorithms for your object in order to achieve the best possible result.

-Full data processing timeline, totally automatic.

-Perfect for beginners, a great time saver for advanced users.

Manual Mode: Controlled, flexible processing at breathtaking speed.

Artec Studio also features a wide range of tools for you to process your 3D model manually, giving you full control over your data. Included are many features which streamline your workflow, making it even faster to achieve the results you need.

Smart Base Removal

Automatically delete the base your object was scanned on. No need to manually erase that table, stand, or floor!
