Auto-Alignment of Mesh-to-CAD
Aligning a scanned mesh with a CAD model manually can be a time-consuming and tedious process, particularly for complex objects. The automatic alignment function can significantly reduce the amount of time and effort required for this task. Additionally, this function makes the process more efficient and reducing the risk of errors or inconsistencies.
Precise Datum Alignment For Scan To CAD
Even when your scan is an impeccable digital replica 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. Datum alignment enables metrology professionals to align meshes and CAD models using key geometric features in just a few clicks, ensuring there are no slight variances from misalignment. This empowers you to make decisions based on data you can trust.
Methods of Measurement
Calculate the distance between mesh-CAD pairs in different ways–distance mapping, from one point to another, or with primitive shapes–to ensure your alignment is perfectly perpendicular or parallel.
2D Sectional Measurement and Analysis
Break models down into segments and inspect them in-depth, area-by-area, with Artec Studio Section Analysis. Automatically align models and meshes, before deploying 2D cross-section analysis to find discrepancies. Designed to minimize deviations, this feature is perfect for ensuring accuracy during quality inspection or reverse engineering.
Automate Defect Detection
With 3D Compare Map, there’s no need to inspect a model’s surface manually, as it identifies inaccuracies much faster. Pinpoint its least accurate areas at pace, by asking the software’s algorithm to search for maximum deviations in mesh-CAD pairs. Add annotations, take a screenshot of your results, or export your distance map results as a CSV file for further analysis.
Tolerance Check Mode
Working with a part that needs to meet industry-specific tolerances? Enter Tolerance Check Mode and your 3D map will be re-rendered, with areas outside specified limits highlighted.
Optimize Part Thickness

Easily preview photos, check their fit to the model’s geometry, and remove any images with defects, overexposure, or poor lighting. The new photo-texturing algorithm also sorts images into groups by size, camera type, or focal distance for simpler registration.
Mesh Alignment by Scale Algorithm Makes It Easy To Match The Scale Of One Mesh To Another
When you capture an object with photogrammetry, its real dimensions in 3D are unknown without the use of additional tools (targets, a scale bar, or a tape measure). The mesh alignment by scale algorithm allows you to match the arbitrary scale of a model created with photogrammetry to the real scale of a model captured by an Artec scanner, directly in Artec Studio.
Automatic Glare Removal Feature
Get Rid Of Noticable Glares In Your Scans
When a 3D scanner collects scan data, it often uses a light source. Some surfaces may reflect the light, causing uneven and unwanted glare. The Automatic Glare Removal feature uses advanced PBR algorithms to eliminate glare from your 3D scans. Retouching scans manually is tedious and time-consuming. Artec Studio balances the lighting in the final model, saving you time and delivering stunning 3D models without the need for manual adjustments.
