Artec 3D launches the Point II industrial scanner for precision metrology
Artec 3D has presented the Artec Point II, a new portable industrial 3D scanner specifically designed for metrology applications. The device represents a significant evolution of the previous Artec Point model, with substantial improvements in laser power and acquisition speed.
The new scanner is available immediately at a list price of $29,900.
Double laser power for denser acquisitions
The Artec Point II doubles the laser capacity compared to its predecessor, achieving scan speeds of up to 5.8 million points per second.
The main technological upgrade concerns the blue light laser system. The device can project 54 laser lines during high-speed scans and 17 lines in high-resolution acquisitions.
This enhanced laser capacity generates a significantly greater amount of data. The result is denser point clouds that, once converted into meshes, produce more accurate 3D models.
- Acquisition speed: up to 5.8 million points/second
- Accuracy: 0.02 mm
- Volumetric accuracy: 0.015 mm + 0.035 mm/m
- Scan area: 700 x 600 mm
- Weight: 570 grams
Certified precision for industrial metrology
The device complies with VDI/VDE 2634 and JJF 1951 standards, ensuring the reliability required for geometric verification of components.
The declared accuracy of 0.02 mm is particularly relevant considering the large scan area of 700 x 600 mm. Industrial metrology indeed requires the ability to verify whether produced parts actually meet the required tolerances.
Compliance with international standards certifies that the Artec Point II can be reliably used for quality control and dimensional checks in production environments.
Robustness for industrial environments
The scanner design favors use in real production environments, with specific protections and a wide operating range.
Artec 3D designed the device to withstand typical factory environment conditions. IP50 certification guarantees protection from dust.
The operating temperature range is particularly wide, making the scanner usable in various environmental conditions. Weighing 570 grams, the device is relatively light for the category of industrial handheld scanners.
The Artec Point II includes a safety strap to securely attach the device to the operator's hand, an unusual feature for handheld scanners in this category.
Integration with Artec Studio
The new scanner integrates with Artec Studio, one of the most advanced software for processing 3D scans available on the market.
As expected for Artec 3D products, the Point II works with the company's Artec Studio software. This platform represents one of the most powerful software suites for managing and processing 3D scan data.
Native integration ensures an optimized workflow from the acquisition phase to the final processing of three-dimensional models.
Positioning in the Artec 3D portfolio
Artec 3D is one of the world's leading manufacturers of 3D scanners. The company currently offers a complete range of devices covering most possible applications of 3D scanning.
The portfolio ranges from occasional capture to scenario scanning up to industrial metrology. The Artec Point II is specifically positioned in the high-end segment of metrology.
