Mobile SLAM LiDAR mapping with Artec Jet: capture mines, tunnels, plants and venues while you walk, drive or fly, even in darkness and without GPS.
Jet suits teams that survey whole sites fast, including places where no tripod, and no person, should go.

One device in the field, one software for processing and analysis.
Handheld, backpack, pole, cage, vehicle up to 60 km/h, robot or drone: Jet moves between them with a quick-release mount.
Start and stop while walking or hovering. A live point cloud in the companion app confirms coverage before you leave the site.
Remove drift, georeference with ground control points or RTK, and merge sessions with Ray II and Leo scans into one dataset.
Measure volumes, run change detection down to ±5 mm, take sections and export LAS, LAZ, PLY or E57, or go to BIM.
A mine, a tunnel, a car park, an ice rink roof, a concert hall and fort ruins: GPS-denied and hard-to-reach spaces, mapped in minutes. Play any flythrough.
Dark, dusty tunnels with no GPS, mapped on foot.

A flooded, GPS-denied mine was mapped autonomously without risking personnel. Change detection revealed pillar weakening and water ingress, and the operator bought its own unit for routine monitoring.

Drone indoors, on foot underground: a dark, GPS-denied facility was mapped inside and out in under 45 minutes, with no tripod to reposition.

From a backpack and a vehicle, Jet kept tracking at driving speed among moving staff and sprinklers. Capture is short enough to fit between games.

A quick-release mount moves Jet between handheld, backpack, pole, cage, vehicle, robot and drone use, so one device covers very different sites. In the Jet datasets on this page, an iron mine was mapped handheld underground, a concert hall from a backpack, a car park by vehicle and on foot, and an ice rink roof by drone indoors.
Jet is rated IP65, weighs 1.57 kg, operates from −10 to 45 °C and stores data on 512 GB of onboard memory. Vehicle mapping runs at up to 60 km/h. On a drone, sold separately, AI-assisted waypoint missions cover collapsed, flooded or hazardous areas where no person should go.
In our store, Artec Jet is 38 500 €, with a 2-year manufacturer warranty, and that one device covers all seven deployment modes. Drones are sold separately, and true-color point clouds need the optional action camera kit.
Budget for processing too. Artec Twins, sold as a yearly plan or a lifetime license, removes drift, georeferences, detects change and exports LAS, LAZ, PLY, E57 or DXF, with all processing on your own PC. Book a demo to see Jet and Artec Twins on data from a site like yours.
SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) lets Jet work out its own position from its LiDAR data as it moves, so it maps without tripod setups, targets or GPS. Drift is rated at ±0.03%.
±10 mm indoors and underground, ±15 mm in general environments and ±5 mm for change detection. Actual accuracy depends on site geometry, loop closures and the use of ground control points or RTK.
Jet gives speed and full-site coverage; terrestrial Artec Ray II gives maximum accuracy in focused areas. Their data can be merged in Artec Twins.
Yes, on supported drones, sold separately. AI autonomy flies waypoint missions, avoids obstacles in 360° down to 2 mm wires and returns to base on low battery or excessive dust.
Jet records intensity by default, and many applications don’t need color. For true-color point clouds, add the optional action camera kit; Artec Twins aligns the images automatically.
Very little. Jet is plug-and-play with push-button operation, and most users are productive after a short introduction session.
Yes. The backpack is one of its seven deployment modes, alongside handheld, pole, cage, vehicle, robot and drone, and lets you map interiors, venues and sites at walking pace.
Yes. Artec Twins georeferences Jet data with ground control points, and Jet supports GNSS/RTK accessories, continuing seamlessly from GNSS areas into GPS-denied zones. Our surveying page covers the full workflow.
