Choose by object size

Match the scanner to the size of the job

Object size, the accuracy you need across it and where it stands decide it. Start from the objects you scan most often.

From large object to one accurate model

One workflow in Artec Studio or Artec Twins, whichever scanners you combine.

Artec Studio Pro
  1. Plan size and accuracy

    For large parts that must stay accurate end to end, measure a Metrology Kit target frame first. For buildings and sites, plan Ray II positions or a Jet route.

  2. Capture on site

    Walk around the object with Leo and watch coverage on its screen, set up Ray II position by position, or carry, drive or fly Jet through the site.

  3. Merge everything

    Artec Studio merges Leo and Ray II scans, with Leo adding close-up detail; Artec Twins joins Jet, Ray II and Leo data into one site.

  4. Measure, model, export

    Compare with CAD, take sections and volumes, or rebuild surfaces for CAD, then export STEP, meshes such as OBJ and STL, or E57 and LAS point clouds.

Questions about 3D scanning large objects

Which 3D scanner is best for large objects?

It depends on size and accuracy. Artec Leo suits objects from about half a meter to 10 m, such as cars and machinery, Ray II aircraft, trucks and buildings up to 130 m away, Jet entire sites on the move, and Artec Metrology Kit certified measurement across several meters.

Do I need targets on large objects?

Not for scanning: Leo tracks geometry and texture, Ray II aligns each position on the spot, and Jet positions itself by SLAM. Targets come in only with Artec Metrology Kit, which uses them to build a precise reference frame when accuracy must hold across the whole object.

Can I scan large objects outdoors?

Yes. Leo’s invisible VCSEL light works outdoors in daylight. Ray II is rated IP54 and operates from −5 to +40 °C, and Jet is rated IP65, operates from −10 to 45 °C and works in complete darkness.

How long does it take to scan a large object?

Users scan a whole car with Leo in about half an hour. With Ray II, a multi-level historic theater was documented as-built in 5 hours from 40 positions, and Jet captured a 6,700-seat stadium inside and out in 30 minutes.

Which software do I need?

Leo and Ray II scans are processed in Artec Studio Pro, which merges them in one project. Jet data is processed in Artec Twins, built for multi-billion-point datasets, and the Metrology Kit plugin for Artec Studio comes with the kit. Premium Packs for Leo and Ray II include five years of Artec Studio.

Can I reverse engineer or inspect large parts?

Yes. Leo scans large parts, molds and tooling for comparison with CAD across the whole surface, and for replacement parts and retrofits designed directly on the scan. Ray II digitizes cars, trucks, aircraft and heavy machinery for reverse engineering, inspection and CFD analysis.

Can I scan large objects in color?

Yes. Leo captures 2.3 MP texture with the geometry in one pass, and Ray II records calibrated 360° imagery with a 36 MP three-camera system and automatic HDR. Jet records intensity by default; true color needs the optional action camera kit.
