Artec Studio 20
3D Scanning Software

Auto-Surfacing In Just One Click

Enhanced Auto-surfacing allows scan data to be converted to solid CAD surfaces with fewer patches, improving the quality of results. Achieve high-quality geometry reconstruction when converting complex organic polygonal meshes into models with curved ‘NURBS’ surfaces.

Modify Your Model with Boolean Operations

You can deploy Boolean tools for uniting, subtracting, and intersecting meshes, or fill gaps with offset copies for essential edits at pace—without leaving Artec Studio. Build molds, create complex shapes, fine-tune meshes to match the design intent, and more.

Independent CAD Shapes As Primitives To Extract Key Geometrical Features

Whether you’re designing customized packaging, re-engineering wheel wells to fit high-performance wheels, or devising a new circuit board, CAD primitives can kick-start your workflow. The setting allows you to easily create, resize, and reposition primitive solid shapes into any part of your mesh. Just select the primitive you want to add, including the new cube shape (box), and that’s it. There’s no need to specify the required area for fitting.

Create 2D Sections for Sketching

Construct a plane, create a 2D section of your object surface, and export it to a dedicated 3D modeling software, where it can be used as a basis for sketching.

Virtually Build and Dismantle Assemblies

Break down models of complex assemblies into separate part designs for further iteration and analysis, either individually or as a group.

Add Geometric Constraints

Fit and constrain primitive groups to reverse engineer with as much data as possible, maximize accuracy, and stay true to design intent–even when working with partial meshes.

Enhance Object Surface with Chamfer and Fillet

Very few parts have exclusively sharp edges. Use Artec Studio’s chamfer and fillet tools to give models a level of polish, and provide finishing touches to reverse engineered parts. Add thickness to reinforce designs with narrow geometries, or integrate chamfers and fillets that round off the edges of products with two or more meeting surfaces.

Move and Offset Faces

Artec Studio’s move and offset tools are perfect for replicating and modifying faces elsewhere in the workspace.

Instant Deviation Analysis

For Scan to CAD workflow, you can now instantly check for deviations while extracting CAD shapes from meshes, without ever having to leave the Construct tab.

Import SOLIDWORKS Models And Inspect Inside Artec Studio

Import SOLIDWORKS models and other CAD objects directly into Artec Studio for direct comparison with your mesh. With a few clicks of the mouse you can conveniently import STEP, IGES, and X_T CAD files and get right to work without leaving Artec Studio.

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

Discover where and why thickness variations occur with Thickness Mapping. A thickness map can be used as a tool for quality control to ensure that an object is manufactured to the correct thickness specifications. It can identify areas where the thickness deviates from the target, allowing for early detection of manufacturing errors and reducing the likelihood of costly rework.

Primitives For Accurate Measurements

Convert sections of your mesh into primitives–spheres, cones, planes, cylinders, boxes, and torus. Use these simple geometrical shapes to perform highly accurate measurements directly in Artec Studio. For example, measure the deviation of a surface from a plane or a hole from a fitted cylinder or sphere.

Color Texture Upgrades

You can share detailed assets such as AR and CGI models using the compact and widely supported USDZ format. Capture high-contrast HDR textures and realistic 16-bit data with Artec Ray II, Leo, Eva, and Spider II 3D scanners.

Boost Color Contrast With AI

Artec Studio is now capable of using a AI to decode raw texture frames in a way that improves color contrast, doubles scan resolution, and improves overall texture quality.

Scene Lighting Optimization

This feature enables to create realistic renders by replicating real-world lighting scenarios. By moving the light source, it is possible to highlight specific features, textures, or contours in your model, enhancing their visibility and appeal.

Create Photorealistic Texture By Using High Quality Photos from Your Digital SLR or Smartphone for Texture Mapping

Artec Studio’s photo viewing mode for applying high-resolution photos to high-accuracy scans refines the process of creating texture-perfect, professional 3D models for CGI. 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.
