Artec Jet Workflow
Master every project with Artec Jet. Featuring seven SLAM modes and a unified workflow, this single device adapts instantly to any challenge, ensuring you’re always ready for what’s next.
Backpack
Free your hands during longer surveys with a backpack SLAM LiDAR scanner. Pair with RTK or ground control points (GCP) for georeferencing above ground – and continue seamlessly into GPS-denied zones in the same session.
Handheld
Using a handheld SLAM LiDAR scanner, you can walk through and scan any space. At 1.57 kg, Jet is effortless to carry around buildings, facilities, and confined spaces.
Robot
Mount onto platforms like the Boston Dynamics Spot to map confined or hazardous spaces without putting personnel at risk.
Telescopic pole
Reach ceiling voids, compact spaces, and infrastructure details up close. The telescopic pole extends Artec Jet’s range without a drone, improving point density in hard-to-access areas.
Cage
Lower your SLAM LiDAR scanner into vertical shafts, voids, and enclosed spaces. The stainless steel frame protects from impacts and slides smoothly to avoid snags.
Vehicle mount
Capture roads, tunnels, large facilities, and linear assets at driving speed. RTK integration provides automated georeferencing and drift correction over distance.
Drone
Access areas that are dangerous, elevated, or beyond line of sight with an aerial mapping solution. AI-powered autonomy provides collision avoidance and guided exploration – even in complete darkness.

FAQs
What is the Artec Jet 3D scanner?
The Artec Jet is a professional long?range laser?based 3D scanner designed for fast, accurate capture of large objects, spaces, and industrial assets. It is purpose?built for applications such as manufacturing, quality inspection, reverse engineering, architecture, shipbuilding, and infrastructure documentation.
What types of objects can Artec Jet scan?
Artec Jet is optimized for large?scale scanning, including: Industrial machinery and equipment Vehicles, ships, and rail assets Factories, plants, and workshops Architectural elements and buildings Large molds, tools, and assemblies It is not intended for small or highly detailed objects – Artec’s handheld scanners are better suited for that.
How does Artec Jet differ from handheld 3D scanners?
Unlike handheld scanners, Artec Jet:
- Uses long?range laser scanning rather than structured light
- Captures objects from a distance, without moving around the subject
- Excels at scanning large environments quickly
- Offers higher efficiency for industrial and architectural projects
- It complements handheld scanners rather than replacing them.
How accurate is Artec Jet?
Artec Jet delivers industrial?grade accuracy suitable for professional inspection, engineering, and documentation workflows. The accuracy is consistent across large scan areas, making it ideal for capturing true?to?scale digital twins of real?world assets. (Exact accuracy depends on scanning conditions and workflow.)
What industries commonly use Artec Jet?
Artec Jet is widely used in:
- Manufacturing and production
- Quality control and inspection
- Reverse engineering
- Construction and architecture
- Oil, gas, and energy
- Shipbuilding and heavy industry
- Digital twin creation
Does Artec Jet capture colour or texture?
Artec Jet focuses on precise geometry capture rather than detailed colour texture. It is designed primarily for measurement?driven and engineering applications, where accuracy and scale are more important than visual detail.
How can I find out if Artec Jet is right for my application?
The best way is to:
- Discuss your workflow and object size
- Review sample scans relevant to your industry
- Request a live demo or consultation
This ensures Artec Jet meets your accuracy, scale, and productivity requirements.
What software does Artec Jet work with?
Artec Jet is fully compatible with Artec Studio, Artec’s professional 3D data processing software. Artec Studio allows users to:
- Process and align scans
- Clean and optimize data
- Export to common CAD and inspection formats
- Integrate with engineering and metrology workflows
Is Artec Jet portable?
Yes. Artec Jet is built for on?site scanning, allowing users to scan large equipment or environments directly at the customer’s location. While it is not handheld, it is designed to be transported and deployed efficiently in industrial settings.
How long does it take to scan?
Artec Jet is engineered for fast data capture, significantly reducing scanning time compared to traditional large?scale measurement methods. Exact scan times depend on:
- Object size
- Level of detail required
- Site conditions
Do I need special training to use Artec Jet?
While Artec Jet is a professional scanner, it is designed for practical industrial use. Basic training is recommended to ensure:
- Correct scanner setup
- Optimal scanning strategies
- Efficient data processing in Artec Studio.
Many users are productive after a short learning period.
Can Artec Jet be used with other Artec scanners?
Yes. Artec Jet works seamlessly alongside Artec handheld scanners, allowing users to:
- Capture large structures with Artec Jet
- Add fine details using handheld scanners
- Combine datasets into a single unified model
This hybrid workflow is common in advanced industrial projects.
Is Artec Jet suitable for inspection and quality control?
Absolutely. Artec Jet is well suited for:
- Dimensional inspection
- As?built vs CAD comparison
- Deformation analysis
- Wear and tear evaluation
Its long?range accuracy makes it valuable for inspecting large assemblies and installations.
Where is Artec Jet typically deployed?
Common deployment environments include:
- Factory floors
- Construction sites
- Shipyards
- Energy facilities
- Warehouses and logistics hubs
It performs best in controlled industrial environments.
