Artec Point
Metrology-grade handheld laser 3D scanner
Laser scanner for metrology capture in the palm of your hand
Artec’s first target-based 3D laser scanner introduces ISO-certified, metrology-grade 3D scanning to your workflow. Artec Point rapidly captures complex surfaces – even those featuring black or shiny exteriors – with up to 0.02 mm accuracy for quality control and reverse engineering.
Alternate between grid, parallel, and single-laser modes to maximize results and use HD cameras fixed at a steep viewing angle to capture in narrow areas. With a light yet robust metal chassis, the Artec Point is also versatile for use in demanding industrial environments.
When it comes to capturing intricate objects with high repeatability and pinpoint accuracy, Artec Point always delivers, making it the ideal solution, wherever you need fast, reliable data.

Stunningly accurate models – every time
With super high accuracy, solid tracking, and dedicated modes for complex geometries, the Artec Point 3D scanner captures highly repeatable metrology data you can count on.
Metrology-grade accuracy
Artec Point captures complex surfaces with incredible accuracy and repeatability, consistently delivering high-quality data for industrial metrology.
Incredibly easy to use
Most of Artec Point’s main functions can be carried out with four easy-to-access buttons that users are able to configure for optimal workflow efficiency.
Steadfast tracking
Capture objects at a rate of up to 120 FPS for tracking that stays fully locked onto objects, ensures there are no holes in your data, and makes Artec Point a breeze to use.
Switch mode 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 a closer look
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
The Artec Point 3D laser scanner features a vast scanning area that allows it to capture larger objects while keeping targets in view for seamless, high-speed 3D scanning.
Perfect for metrology 3D scanning
A metrology-certified 3D laser scanner
Artec Point’s high accuracy and repeatability are ISO & VDI/VDE-certified, so you can use it for advanced metrology, confident that you’ll get immediate, reliable results.
Achieve high repeatability
With an intuitive interface and unshakable tracking, Artec Point ensures that you get repeatable results regardless of operator skill, without having to fine-tune any settings.
Capture in confined areas
With a featherweight frame and ergonomic design, Artec Point can easily be used one-handed, and tilted to scan under, behind, or into seemingly unreachable areas.
Robust build quality
Housed in a metal, grip-friendly casing, the Artec Point 3D scanner is ideal for industrial metrology applications where durability is essential.

Adapt to different surfaces in a single click
Artec Point’s three modes allow you to switch between scanning large objects at pace, capturing intricate details, and digitizing deep holes, at the click of a button.
Accelerate 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.
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.
Scan with a single laser to maneuver into hard-to-reach areas and capture data exactly where you need it – even inside deep grooves or holes, for quality inspection and reverse engineering.
Artec Studio
Real-time visualization
Artec Studio’s intuitive color-coded 3D Radar gives users the feedback needed to adjust their scanning approach for optimal data capture in real time.
Fast-track data processing
Target-based 3D scanners and Artec Studio are the perfect match – capture and processing are so quick and easy, you can often get from scan to mesh in seconds.
A truly all-in-one software
Artec Studio features all your reverse engineering and inspection essentials – data can be sent to ZEISS INSPECT or Control X in just one click, for more advanced use cases.
Compare scans to CAD data
Tidy meshes and create CAD bodies with auto-surfacing, then check for deviations instantly without having to leave the same tab – let alone open another software.
Inspection tools built-in
Divide scans into sections, uncover defects with Artec Studio’s 3D Compare Map, and ensure products meet standards with intuitive Tolerance Checking.
Merge scans to boost results
Combine scans from our first handheld target-based 3D laser scanner with data captured by other Artec 3D scanners to create large, even more detailed 3D models.
