Artec Studio Workflows
Scanning & processing
Capture any physical object with a 3D scanner, create an accurate and high-resolution 3D model.
Scan with Artec Eva, Space Spider, or Micro Scanner
Connect one of the 3D scanners to Artec Studio software and preview the scanning results directly on your computer in real time.
Upload data from Artec Leo or Ray 3D Scanners
Import the projects you scan with Leo and Ray II directly to Artec Studio for processing.
Automated or manual processing
Use automatic processing mode to quickly create a final 3D model, or build your own customized workflow and choose between a wide range of smart and powerful processing algorithms.
Essential workflows
Convert scan data to CAD for reverse engineering or inspection, or prep it for animation and CGI.
Inspect your model
Artec Studio comes equipped with tools for fast and precise measurements, easy mesh-to-CAD or mesh-to-mesh deviation analysis. Complete essential tasks in Artec Studio, or easily export for more complex inspection.
Reverse engineer your components
From boolean operations to complete automatic scan-to-CAD conversions, streamline your design and manufacturing workflows with the latest essential RE tools in Artec Studio.
Create photorealistic 3D models with photo texturing & AI
Combine geometry data from your Artec scanner with texture data from an external camera or smartphone for extra realistic, texture-perfect 3D assets. With the power of AI, Artec Studio also sharpens textures, boosts resolution, and makes colors pop on your behalf.
Integrations
Export your data to any industry-leading reverse engineering, inspection, or 3D modeling software.
SOLIDWORKS
Directly export mesh or CAD entities, including any 2D sections, for in-depth reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, and CAD design in SOLIDWORKS.
Geomagic Design X
For more complex objects, send the mesh directly into Geomagic Design X for advanced reverse engineering with just one click.
Geomagic Control X
Directly export your scan data into Geomagic Control X for CAD data alignment, to reveal deviations, and for advanced quality measurement processes.
Artec Studio Features
Whatever the scale of your ambitions, Artec Studio has all you need to create stunning 3D models.
3D scan black, shiny, or fine areas
Artec Studio analyzes the surface of your object and automatically adjusts the sensitivity of your scanner to pick up areas that are tricky for 3D scanning. As a result, even new users can digitize black, shiny objects, or hair with ease.
HD Mode
If you’re after the highest quality, we’ve got good news: Artec Studio operates in High-Definition Mode. Step up your scanning with Artec Leo and Eva to capture high-resolution HD data for ultra-sharp, clean, and detail-rich scans.
Scan-to-CAD for reverse engineering
The right features can make scan-to-CAD for reverse engineering a breeze, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with Artec Studio. Expect CAD-editing tools for hybrid reverse engineering, high-speed alignment, boolean operations, automatic scan-to-CAD conversion, and advanced plane functionality for quick and excellent results. Export your scans and CAD objects to SOLIDWORKS in just one click.
Advanced quality inspection. Streamlined.
When it comes to quality inspection, Artec Studio offers the tools you need for streamlining your pre-production, inline, and final inspection workflows: precise measurements, fast, accurate mesh-to-CAD alignment, and mesh-to-mesh or mesh-to-CAD deviation maps.
Picture-perfect CGI with photogrammetry + scan data
Create accurate, high-res, and picture-perfect 3D models ready for use in CGI, VR/AR, and animation. In Artec Studio, you can now combine your scan data and photogrammetry all in one place for both best-quality texture and highly accurate geometry.
Sync scans seamlessly with Artec Cloud
Synchronize your workflow with Artec Cloud, backing up and sharing Artec Studio projects in a single click, so you can work remotely, collaborate on a single unified platform, and utilize a revamped UI to establish a 3D scan processing HQ.

Artec Scanning Process
Simple three step process to capture model data
1. Scan the object
No need to prepare your object in advance, just point the 3D scanner and shoot in automatic mode.
2. Fuse & Optimize
Optimize the size of your final file by reducing the number of polygons from millions to thousands while maintaining the high quality of the mesh.
3. Texturize & Export
Add high quality texture to your model in no time! Export to a variety of different CAD systems including SOLIDWORKS.
