3D scanning is evolving at an incredible pace, and if you haven’t explored the latest updates in Artec Studio 19, you’re missing out! In a recent webinar, Steve Cory, President of Objex Unlimited (Canadian Artec Reseller), broke down the game-changing features of the software and the powerhouse lineup of Artec scanners.
Key Takeaways from the Webinar
Scan Decimation & Improved Performance
We’ve all dealt with massive 100GB+ scans that are nearly impossible to open. Artec Studio 19 solves this with scan decimation, freeing up RAM and making processing a breeze. The new version also enhances surfacing, CAD output, and measurement tools—everything is faster and better.
Notably, mesh simplification is now 10x faster, and OBJ exports that once took 5-10 minutes now happen in seconds. The updates keep coming, making the software more powerful and user-friendly.
Scanner Agnostic & Perfect for Education
A standout feature of Artec Studio 19 is that you don’t need an Artec scanner to use it! This opens up incredible possibilities, especially in education. Students can now use a simple phone camera to generate decent scans, making 3D scanning more accessible than ever before.
Artec's Lineup of Industry-Leading Scanners
Steve also walked through the diverse Artec scanner lineup, showcasing how each tool fits specific use cases:
🔹 Artec Leo – Wireless, perfect for large objects (1-10m). Portable and rugged—ideal for fieldwork.
🔹 Artec Spider 2 – Superior accuracy for small objects with sharp detail.
🔹 Artec Eva & Eva Lite – Affordable, reliable workhorses with wired operation.
🔹 Artec Micro 2 – Designed for ultra-precise small object scanning with photogrammetry.
🔹 Artec Ray 2 – LiDAR scanning for large environments, from warehouses to landscapes.
🔹 Artec Point – The highest accuracy scanner (2 microns), perfect for detailed industrial applications.
Pro Tips for Better Scanning & Workflow
Steve shared valuable insights on optimizing scan projects:
-
Break large scans into sub-100GB files to manage RAM efficiently.
-
Use high-definition rebuild settings strategically.
-
For mixed-detail projects, combine Leo for large areas and Spider for intricate details.
