Handheld and long-range 3D scanners for aerospace inspection, MRO and reverse engineering, from turbine blades and airfoils to aircraft sections and whole aircraft.
Tolerance, surface and object size decide it. Blades and machined parts need metrology accuracy; sections and whole aircraft need reach and speed.
Shiny airfoils, turbine impellers, castings and machined parts to fine tolerances
Point Artec23 900 €

Artec Ray II59 450 €
One Artec Studio Pro workflow for inspection, repair and reverse engineering, from blades to whole aircraft.
Place targets only where tolerances demand, or build a reference frame with Artec Metrology Kit so accuracy holds across large structures.
Capture blades and components with Point II or Neo, sections with Leo and the whole aircraft with Ray II. All data merges in one Artec Studio project.
Map deviations against CAD over the full surface to assess wear and damage, validate repairs or run first article inspection.
Export to Geomagic Control X or PolyWorks Inspector for reports, or turn the scan into STEP, IGES or X_T for spares and modifications.
A rescue helicopter, a vintage airplane and precision drivetrain parts: whole aircraft and the components inside them. Spin any model and zoom in.
Ray set the reference from eight positions in two hours; Leo filled in everything from cockpit to tail.
Aerospace teams scan parts to compare them with nominal CAD, assess wear and damage, validate repairs and run first article inspection, and to reverse engineer spares and modifications when no drawings exist. Tolerance, surface and object size decide which scanner fits.
For blades, airfoils and machined parts, the blue laser of Artec Point II handles black and shiny metal with up to 0.02 mm ISO 17025-accredited accuracy. Artec Neo reaches 0.025 mm with targets and 0.05 mm without and inspects aircraft surfaces with no markers on the aircraft; each unit is verified to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 in Artec’s ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab.
Artec Studio Pro maps deviations against CAD over the full surface. Send the data to Geomagic Control X or PolyWorks Inspector for formal reports, or turn the scan into STEP, IGES or X_T for spares.
For blades, airfoils and machined parts to fine tolerances, Artec Point II or Neo. For aircraft sections and cockpits, Leo, and for whole aircraft nose to tail, Ray II. Artec Metrology Kit keeps accuracy tight across large structures.
Yes. Point II’s blue laser is built for black and shiny surfaces such as airfoils, and Neo covers parts from turbine blades up to aircraft panels, including wear and damage assessment.
Not necessarily. Neo can inspect aircraft surfaces without markers on the aircraft, with targets on the fixture or only around toleranced features, and Leo and Ray II are target-free. Point II needs targets on the part.
Point II accuracy is ISO 17025-accredited based on VDI/VDE 2634, with every unit calibrated and tested in an accredited lab. Each Artec Neo unit is verified to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 in Artec’s ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab. Artec Metrology Kit carries a DAkkS certificate for the complete measuring system.
With Ray II, aircraft and full buildings take a few hours; a full dome at the highest 3 mm resolution takes 1 min 42 s. Scans align automatically on site, so no targets are needed.
Artec Studio Pro covers scanning, inspection and reverse engineering, with export to Geomagic Control X, PolyWorks Inspector, Design X and SOLIDWORKS. The Metrology Kit plugin for Artec Studio comes with the kit.
Yes. Neo has a built-in battery and Wi-Fi, so aircraft surfaces are scanned where they are. Point II weighs 570 g, is rated IP50 and stays accurate from −10 to 40 °C on the shop floor, and Leo needs no laptop or cables.
Yes. Point II takes turbine impellers and other metal parts to CAD with sharp edges and deep holes intact, and Leo captures sections, cockpits and fiberglass parts for spares and retrofits. Artec Studio Pro fits primitives and autosurfaces the scan for STEP, IGES or X_T export.
