Efficient Data Processing
Artec Studio delivers rapid 3D data processing with flexible workflow options. For maximum efficiency, the Autopilot feature automatically aligns scans, cleans unwanted data, and generates production-ready meshes - delivering photorealistic results in minimal time. Alternatively, take manual control to precisely transform scan or photogrammetry data using professional tools like smart base removal, auto-alignment, and ultra-fast registration. Whether you choose automated processing or hands-on refinement, the solution seamlessly fuses captured data into accurate 3D models while optimizing every step of your workflow.
Smart Multi-Resolution Fusion
Artec Studio’s multi-resolution meshing enables seamless integration of data from different Artec 3D scanners into highly detailed models. The platform supports hybrid workflows, allowing you to combine inputs from any combination of scanners – whether using a single device or the entire Artec portfolio. For example, efficiently capture broad areas with the LiDAR-powered Ray II, fill intricate details using the wireless Artec Leo, then merge and process both datasets in a unified workflow. This mix-data capability ensures complete, watertight models regardless of the scanning technologies used, all processed through a single intuitive interface.

Automate defect detection
Rapidly identify inaccuracies with the enhanced 3D Compare Map in Artec Studio. Instead of manually inspecting a model's surface, you can swiftly pinpoint its least accurate areas by instructing the algorithm to seek out maximum deviations in mesh-CAD pairs.
Updated deviation mapping
The improved 3D Compare Map also provides the flexibility to calculate the distance between mesh-CAD pairs using various methods, including along normals or from one point to another.
Optimize part thickness
Explore the locations and reasons behind variations in thickness using Thickness Mapping. This tool allows comparison of thickness to a specified reference, ensuring that narrow geometries are not susceptible to breakage.
2D section analysis
Artec Studio's Section Analysis feature enables you to divide models into segments and perform in-depth inspections, area by area. This function automatically aligns models and meshes, facilitating 2D cross-section analysis to detect any inconsistencies or discrepancies. It's designed to minimize deviations, making it an ideal tool for ensuring accuracy in quality inspections or reverse engineering.
Mesh-to-CAD auto alignment
In Artec Studio 18, the initial step of aligning mesh-CAD pairs, which used to be a manual process, has been automated, eliminating the need for user input. This streamlines the quality inspection process.
Target thickness compensation

Whether you need to create a gap to accommodate deviations or adjust a part to align with the design intent, Artec Studio's move and offset tools are ideal for duplicating and modifying faces in different areas of your workspace.
Improved auto-surfacing
Since Artec Studio 17, Autosurfacing has been a popular feature with many users who re relied on it to transform polygonal meshes into models with smooth 'NURBS' surfaces. Artec Studio now introduces an updated version to help these users to further enhance the quality of geometry reconstruction.
Surface thickening tools
When dealing with the reverse engineering of intricate objects featuring non-primitive, freeform surfaces, Artec Studio now provides a solution. You can now solidify these by thickening the surface of a mesh or CAD model, and lend them greater stability in applications such as 3D printing.
Create draft angles
In Artec Studio, when 3D modeling or reverse engineering cast parts, you now have the capability to introduce a draft angle on the outer surfaces. This allows for easier extraction without causing damage to the molds.
Tools for tidying up
Most parts don't have entirely sharp edges. Artec Studio offers chamfer and fillet tools that allow you to refine models and add a level of polish, providing those finishing touches to reverse engineered parts.
Datum alignment for scan-to-CAD
As a rule of metrology, even when your scan is an impeccable digital twin of a part or object, if it isn’t properly aligned with its corresponding CAD reference model, any variances that show up can be unreliable due to misalignment.
With Datum alignment, all it takes is a few clicks to fully align your meshes and CAD models using key geometric features.
Enhanced targets support for metrology
Gain better manual control over reference objects for data registration such as circular targets, spheres, or checkerboards, if your scanning workflow requires it.
See them in 3D as part of your workspace, choose spheres or circular targets for registration, measure the distance between them, identify which are out of place or missing, and exclude them from registration. In addition, you can now import and choose multiple reference target clouds into the workspace.
Auto surfacing
Convert complex organic shapes into solid CAD models in one click with the new Auto Surface feature. Facilitate reverse engineering of complex geometries and create referential CAD surfaces for in-depth RE workflows in third-party CAD software.
Boolean operations
Modify your models with CAD entities and meshes, using industry-standard boolean operations: Union, Subtract, and Intersect. Build molds, create complex shapes, fine-tune meshes to match the design intent, and more.
Independent CAD shapes
Easily create, resize, and reposition primitive solid shapes into any part of your mesh, with no need to specify the required area for fitting. Just select the primitive you want to add, including the new cube shape (box), and that’s it.
Constraints 2.0
Artec Studio now keeps a history of the conditions and relations specified for each primitive, so you can save, edit, and refit them anytime – even outside the Construct panel. In addition, it allows you to base new constraints on the ones you imposed in previous sessions.
Mesh splitting for 3D printing
For AM professionals, preparing meshes for 3D printing is easier than ever thanks to the new Split by plane feature. This allows you to quickly and precisely break your mesh into manageable chunks, using a pre-fitted plane.
Improved Segment Brush
You can now change the size of the selected region dynamically with the Segmentation sensitivity slider. Simply mark the area you’d like to construct the CAD primitive in, and adjust the degree of expansion area with the slider.
Erase via Object selection
Your mesh editing process is now even faster thanks to the new Eraser selection mode “Object selection.” Instantly remove any unwanted elements from the scene by simply selecting separate parts of the mesh and removing them.
New Hole Filling tool
An updated Hole Filling algorithm lets you create smooth patches over any missing areas on a model. You can now choose between Flat and Smooth types of hole filling to restore the missing surfaces more precisely.
Perfect your 3D model texture for CGI
Working with photos is now even better thanks to improvements in our photo-texturing algorithm. You can now easily preview photos taken for the texture via the new photo-viewing mode and see how they fit into the texture.
Register photos in Artec Studio
Remove photos with any defects, overexposure, or ones that are poorly lit or taken at a suboptimal angle and see how they impact your final texture. With the new algorithm, images are sorted into groups: by size, camera type, or focal distance, allowing you to register them separately, and use all of them for texturing.
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.
