    Housed in a metal, grip-friendly housing, the Artec Point 3D scanner is ideal for industrial metrology applications where durability is essential.

  • 3 Modes for Tricky Surfaces
    3 Modes for Tricky Surfaces

    Change between three modes for best results–a high-speed grid, parallel lasers for complex geometry capture, and a single laser for obscure geometries like deep holes.

  • Magnify for Better Viewing
    Magnify for Better Viewing

    Zoom in to view surfaces up to 8x more closely for complete scan coverage that picks up tiny details that may not be visible upon first glance.

  • Wide Field of View
    Wide Field of View

    A vast scanning area allows the 3D scanner to capture larger objects while keeping targets in view for seamless, high-speed 3D scanning.

3 Modes for Different Surfaces

Artec Point gives you the flexibility to scan in three modes. Switch between scanning large objects at pace, capturing intricate details, and digitizing deep holes—with a click of a button.

  • Ultra-Fast 3D Scanning
    Ultra-Fast 3D Scanning

    Speed up your workflow using a 17 x 17 crossed-laser grid that accurately captures large objects at pace, and keep poly-count to a minimum for lightweight 3D models.

  • Hyper-Fine 3D Scanning
    Hyper-Fine 3D Scanning

    Deploy 7 parallel lasers to digitize complex surfaces in high resolution, detect more intricate details like engraved features, and get the data needed for advanced metrology tasks.

  • Deep Hole 3D Scanning
