The Artec Leo is an exceptionally designed handheld wireless 3D scanner. Its most prominent feature is the ability to operate completely independently without requiring a computer connection. Equipped with a high-performance NVIDIA Jetson processor, a 5-inch high-definition touchscreen, and a built-in battery, it enables users to freely move around objects while scanning, much like using a handheld camera, and simultaneously view the real-time construction of full-color 3D models directly on the screen. In terms of performance, it achieves a 3D point accuracy of up to 0.1 mm, with a resolution of 0.2 mm in AI-driven HD mode, making it highly suitable for accurately capturing complex geometries and rich textures of objects ranging from medium-sized ones (such as automotive components, furniture, and human bodies) to large objects (like large industrial equipment and indoor scenes). Consequently, it is widely used across various professional fields including industrial manufacturing (e.g., reverse engineering, quality inspection), digital entertainment, cultural heritage digitization, and medical orthotics.

Core Advantages​

• Wireless Portability and Intuitive Operation​: The most significant advantage of the Artec Leo is its integrated wireless design. With a built-in battery and processor, along with a 5-inch HD touchscreen, users can scan without connecting to a computer or external power source, allowing free movement around objects. The screen displays the 3D model construction process in real time, enabling immediate on-site verification of data integrity, thereby significantly enhancing scanning efficiency and convenience.
• High Precision and Efficiency​: The Artec Leo combines high point accuracy of 0.1 mm with an AI-driven HD mode (achieving 0.2 mm resolution) and can perform 3D reconstruction at speeds of up to 80 frames per second. This allows it to rapidly capture object details and effectively handle challenging materials such as black or reflective surfaces.
• Powerful Built-in Processing Capability​: The device's built-in NVIDIA Jetson module provides robust onboard computing power, enabling real-time data processing at the scanning site. Its VCSEL light source technology allows for stable scanning under various lighting conditions, including outdoors. Scan data can be transmitted via Wi-Fi and processed directly in Artec Studio software.

Primary Application Scenarios​

• ​Industrial Manufacturing and Reverse Engineering:​​ Used to quickly obtain precise 3D data of existing components for creating digital models, supporting product replication, modification, or optimization. For example, it has been successfully applied in inspecting automotive door molds and reverse engineering entire vehicle body panels.
• ​Cultural Heritage Digitization:​​ Capable of high-precision, non-contact scanning of artifacts, sculptures, and even the internal structures of large historical buildings, creating permanent digital archives for precious cultural heritage to facilitate research, restoration, and virtual display.
• ​Medical Customization and Bionic Design:​​ In the medical field, it is used to scan body parts (such as residual limbs) to quickly acquire accurate data for crafting highly customized prosthetics or orthotics, improving patient comfort and rehabilitation outcomes.
• ​Large-Scale Scene and Equipment Digitization:​​ Suitable for scanning large industrial equipment or entire indoor environments, providing detailed 3D models for digital twins, factory layout optimization, or virtual reality applications.
