3D Scanners

Capture Every Detail, Shape Your Vision.

Artec Jet

Artec Jet is a high-speed mobile LiDAR mapping system that combines SLAM-based positioning and AI-powered autonomy to capture sites, facilities & infrastructure, even in GPS-denied environments – in minutes rather than hours, with survey-grade accuracy.

From real scenes to digital twins in minutes

Capture by hand, or mount to a backpack, robot, vehicle, or drone. Artec Jet offers multiple different deployment modes in a single compact, lightweight device. Choose the modality that best suits your application, whether it be open-air surveying or underground mapping, and ensure that on-site teams steer clear of hazardous, hard-to-reach areas.

Within the mining, construction, defense, public safety, and civil infrastructure industries, Artec Jet captures accurate data, ideal for digital twins, as-built documentation, volumetric measurement, clash detection, and inspection.

Together with Artec Ray II and Leo, scanners well-suited to large-object and fine-detail capture, Artec Jet enables a complete pipeline for digitizing everything from sites to components.

Artec Jet Key Features

Real-time feedback

Artec Jet streams live point cloud previews to a companion app during scans, giving instant confirmation that all data is captured and no rescanning is required.

360° scene capture

With a 360° × 290° field of view, Artec Jet captures dense, shadow-free point clouds with full coverage in a single pass.

Color capture

Combine LiDAR data with imagery from a supported camera to create vivid, true-to-life 3D representations with immediately recognizable features.

GNSS-assisted georeferencing

Take advantage of satellite positioning with RTK accessories that improve global accuracy and reduce reliance on control points.

Instant proficiency

Push-button scanning with a plug-and-play design. No specialist training needed — start capturing quality data right away.

On-site verification

Preview each scan on-site before leaving to ensure complete, usable data is captured on every visit.

Explore Real-World Datasets

Concert hall

As this city center concert hall shows, building exteriors can get pretty elaborate. Navigating such busy locations can also make it difficult to capture clear, usable information. But Artec Jet made the process easy. Walking around the building with a backpack, capturing a complete dataset, and turning the scan into a usable point cloud took less than half an hour.

Underground iron mine

Captured deep underground in an iron mine, this dataset demonstrates how SLAM-based LiDAR mapping can be used to scan in environments where GPS navigation is unavailable. The irregular geometry, narrow passages, and dusty spaces make this a challenging scenario for most scanning technologies. Usually, operating in light-restricted environments also makes it difficult to identify and capture dark surfaces, but this was no problem for Artec Jet.

Castle

This massive point cloud was captured during a visit to a historic castle that was open to the general public. Though drone access was restricted, Artec Jet could be strapped to a backpack and simply walked around the facility for continuous data acquisition. The final results offer valuable context to potential renovators, as trees, rivers, and buildings are captured in situ.

Power lines

Rather than scaling these 60-meter-tall towers, our operator scanned from the ground. Artec Jet features a 300-meter scanning range, so it was possible to deploy in handheld mode, walking the length of the scene while capturing pylons, cables, and surrounding terrain. In less than an hour, they’d completed three laps of the area – enough to maximize point cloud density.

Sailing boat

This dataset demonstrates the capability of SLAM LiDAR to accurately capture large objects with complex geometric detail in a short amount of time. Working in handheld mode allowed for rapid, flexible data acquisition. The craft itself is also made from glossy, tricky-to-scan fiberglass, but as you can see, Artec Jet managed to achieve full scan coverage.

Indoor ice rink

Large open spaces like ice rinks can be deceptively difficult to digitize. They may appear simple, but overhead steel framework, lighting rigs, and ventilation ducts create a dense web of geometry that ground-based scanners can barely see, let alone capture accurately. That’s why Artec Jet was deployed to document these overhead structures without any need for scaffolding, lifts, or time-consuming tripod-based capture.

Heritage site

In this case, Artec Jet was used to digitize remnants of a historical fort in an urban environment. The irregular geometry – and the way it blurs into the surrounding cityscape – makes the site quite a challenging scan. Even so, Artec Jet managed to capture all the details, including those obscured by foliage, along with very different surfaces ranging from metal posts to brickwork.

Workshop

Capturing an active workshop, where dust and moving equipment can impact data acquisition, is no mean feat. But the ultra-versatile Artec Jet made quick work of it! Switching from handheld to drone-based capture allowed for comprehensive coverage – of both the ground-level and elevated structures. Everything from machinery to piping is featured in the final result.

Artec 3D Scanner Benefits

Easy and Fast Operations

Safe to use
Artec 3D Scanner uses invisible VCSEL structured light projection, making it totally safe for scanning people, as well as inanimate objects. Because of VCSCEL light technology, scanning is possible even in outdoors conditions

Just point and shoot
No need preparation such as pasting targets and calibration, just simply plug in the scanner and point it around the object as you would with a video camera. Point scanner closer to object to zoom in for sharper details

Scan fast with geometry and texture tracking
Artec 3D Scanner uses built-in accelerometer, gyro and compass to know its position in real world. Together with reading of scanned object’s geometry and color, fast and smooth scanning is possible even for large featureless object

SDK integration and scanners bundling
Artec SDK allows you to integrate Artec scanners into your own custom solutions free of charge. Also, to capture larger area, several scanners can be bundled and synced together
