Match the scanner to the site

Accuracy, coverage speed and level of detail decide it. Many teams combine a site-scale scanner with Leo for close-up detail.

Buildings and interiors

Precise as-built documentation

Facades, interiors, theaters, factory floors and structures for renovation and BIM

Artec Ray II€59,450
  • 1.9 mm accuracy at 10 m, 0.5–130 m range
  • Scans pre-aligned on site, no targets
  • 36 MP calibrated HDR color, IP54
Whole sites

Fast site-wide capture

Stadiums, car parks, tunnels, bridges and building complexes, on foot or by vehicle

Artec Jet€38,500
  • ±15 mm general, ±10 mm indoor accuracy
  • Handheld, backpack, vehicle, pole or drone
  • 360° × 290° view, up to 300 m range

Also consider Artec Twins — for georeferencing, merging and scan-to-BIM export

Details and fit-out

Detail and custom fabrication

Ornaments, acoustic panels, steel members and rivets for made-to-fit replacements

Artec Leo€34,800
  • Fully wireless: scan from a lift or a ladder
  • 0.1 mm accuracy, up to 35 mln points/s
  • Works outdoors in daylight

From site to as-built model

Capture, register and model in Artec Studio or Artec Twins, then hand off to BIM and CAD.

Artec Twins
  1. Capture the site

    Walk, drive or fly the site with Jet, and set Ray II up where the highest accuracy matters. Ray II aligns each position on the spot.

  2. Add the detail

    Scan ornaments, connections and areas hidden from the tripod with Leo, wirelessly, from a lift or scaffolding if needed.

  3. Register and merge

    Artec Twins merges Jet, Ray II and Leo data into one dataset and georeferences it with ground control points.

  4. Deliver to BIM and CAD

    Export point clouds and meshes for as-built documentation and scan to BIM, or check what was built against the design.

Ray II captured the whole venue from 40 positions, from ceilings 20–30 m away to ornate carvings up close, replacing months of manual measuring.

30min

Jet captured the stadium inside and out, in color, from a backpack and a vehicle, short enough to fit between games. The scoreboard was captured from ground level.

4h

Over 100 m of irregular wall paneling was scanned with Leo from scaffolding. The fused mesh fed parametric CAD for precisely fitted replacement aluminum panels.

Terrestrial, mobile or handheld?

A terrestrial laser scanner stands on a tripod and measures everything around it. Artec Ray II covers 360° × 300° from each position, 0.5 to 130 m away, with 1.9 mm accuracy at 10 m, and its scans arrive already aligned. It suits facades, interiors, structures and renovation work where accuracy drives the design.

A mobile LiDAR scanner maps while it moves. Artec Jet works handheld, on a backpack, on a vehicle or on a drone, at ±10 mm indoors and ±15 mm in general environments, in darkness and without GPS. Car parks, tunnels and building complexes are captured in minutes: a 6,700-seat stadium took 30 minutes inside and out.

A handheld scanner such as the wireless Artec Leo resolves ornaments, steel connections and fit-out details at 0.1 mm, even from a lift or scaffolding. Many teams combine a site-scale scanner with Leo. In our store, Ray II is €59,450, Jet is €38,500 and Leo is €34,800.

Questions about 3D scanning for architecture and construction

Which scanner should I use for as-built documentation?

Artec Ray II when accuracy matters most: 1.9 mm at 10 m, with scans aligned on site. Artec Jet when you need a whole site fast, on foot, by vehicle or by drone. Many teams combine them and add Leo for close-up detail.

What is the difference between Jet and Ray II?

Ray II is a tripod-mounted terrestrial laser scanner that gives maximum accuracy in focused areas. Jet is a SLAM mapper that captures entire sites while moving, with ±15 mm accuracy in general environments. Data from both merges in Artec Twins.

Can I use the data for BIM?

Yes. Artec Twins supports as-built documentation, scan to BIM export and checking what was built against the design. Jet exports LAS, LAZ, PLY and E57 point clouds.

Do I need targets or GPS on site?

No targets are needed: Ray II registers each position in real time, and Jet uses SLAM positioning that also works indoors and underground without GPS. For georeferencing, Jet supports GNSS/RTK accessories and ground control points.

Where does Artec Leo fit in?

Leo captures details the site scanners cannot resolve, such as ornaments, rivets and connections, at 0.1 mm accuracy. It is fully wireless, so it works from lifts, ladders and scaffolding.

Which software do I need?

Ray II and Leo scans are processed in Artec Studio, and Jet data in Artec Twins, which also merges Jet, Ray II and Leo scans into one model. Both are available as a yearly plan or a lifetime license.

Where is the data processed?

Artec Twins processes and stores everything on your own PC, so you can work offline and keep full control of project data. It renders multi-billion-point datasets in real time, with no thinning or splitting.
