Upgraded Processing and 2X Smarter

Upgraded Processing and 2X Smarter

The 2022 Artec Leo has a new NVIDIA Jetson TX2 processor that runs at more than twice the power than its predecessor (TX1), while consuming less than 7.5 watts. It’s also equipped with upgraded multi-core processing with the NVIDIA Denver 2, which adds two cores and even more horsepower. It’s now a Heterogeneous Multi-Processor Architecture, with 2GHz on each of six cores. And with upgrades to every crucial metric across the AI pipeline–GPU performance, energy efficiency, deep learning libraries, and memory bandwidth–the Artec Leo gets twice the intelligence than before.

Guaranteed Accuracy

Guaranteed Accuracy

For metrology applications, having a consistently accurate 3D scanner is a must. The new Leo have the following measures put in place to guarantee accuracy. 1) New Calibration Certificate: Every 2022 Artec Leo 3D scanner is meticulously calibrated before leaving the factory with certified accuracy. 2) Automatic Temperature Controls: The Artec Leo now comes with software enhancements that regulate the scanner’s operation, keeping its components at optimum operating temperature. This helps ensure that your device’s accuracy is not affected by temperature changes that might have subtle effects on readings from internal components. 3) Calibration Kit: Use this tool to recalibrate the scanner for applications where you absolutely need to make sure you get the most accurate results every time.

Sharper, Cleaner, And More Detailed Scan

Sharper, Cleaner, And More Detailed Scan Data—Even In SD Mode

Thanks to the new reconstruction algorithm, the data you capture with the Artec Leo is now sharper, cleaner and more detailed than before, all in SD mode.

Even Color, Every Time

Even Color, Every Time

Texture too dark or too light? Not a problem. Building on the scanner’s advanced color-capture capabilities, the 2022 Leo features algorithms to automatically adjust the brightness level when you’re 3D scanning. You get true-to-life, evenly lit color 3D models every time without the need for manual correction. In addition, the new texture optimization algorithm has reduced the size of the texture by 2x, making it faster to process and load data for creating 3D color models.

Multilingual

It Speaks Your Language

The 2022 Artec Leo’s interface is available in six different languages including English, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish. It makes this portable 3D scanner even more accessible to professionals around the world.

One Device, Countless Applications

The Artec Leo is truly versatile when it comes to scanning objects of various sizes. It excels at capturing both medium-sized (20-50 cm) and large (50-200 cm) objects and surfaces. When paired with a powerful computer, it can take on even very large objects (200 cm+) or even entire spaces, such as rooms or crime scenes.
