ARTEC 3D introduced Artec Point II, the successor to the Artec Point target-based, handheld laser scanner for industrial metrology. With an expanded laser configuration, Artec Point II captures up to 5.8 million points per second - more than double the original - letting operators gather denser, more detailed 3D data in every pass and complete scans faster, with the same, certified 0.02-mm accuracy of the preceding-generation metrology tool.

This expanded configuration significantly increases the number of laser lines projected in each mode - 54 in ultra-fast scanning and 17 parallel lines in hyperfine mode, so each pass captures more surface data for efficient, detailed digitization. Operators switch between three modes at the touch of a button: ultra-fast scanning for rapid capture across larger surfaces, hyperfine parallel scanning for intricate detail, and a single-laser mode for deep holes and hard-to-reach features. Together, the three modes are engineered to scan objects from small components to large assemblies.

“Artec Point set a high bar for accessible, certified metrology,” according to Art Yukhin, president and CEO of Artec 3D. “Point II raises it - more data in every pass, greater detail, and faster scans, with the same accuracy professionals have come to rely on.”

The Point II’s accuracy and repeatability are verified in an ISO-certified lab, and it’s compliant with VDI/VDE 2634 and JJF 1951 standards for reliable, metrology-grade results regardless of operator skill - the assurance quality teams need to verify parts against tight tolerances. The lightweight and ergonomically designed, palm-sized scanner can be operated with one hand and tilted into confined areas. IP50-rated for dust protection and built for a −10° to 40 °C operating range, it is ready for industrial use in manufacturing, moldmaking, energy, and heavy industrial operations.

All Artec 3D scanners are fully integrated with Artec Studio, the 3D scanning and processing software with advanced algorithms that streamline data processing. It can also be paired with other Artec 3D devices to combine their strengths within a single project - from reverse engineering to quality inspection.

Artec Point II is available through Artec 3D’s global network of certified partners.
