The new 3D scanner in desktop metrology for Quality Assurance (QA) and Reverse Engineering (RE), among the featured applications

On May 7, Artec 3D, a world-renowned developer and manufacturer of professional 3D hardware and software, announced the launch of the new Artec Micro, the company’s first desktop 3D scanner, a metrology-grade automated 3D scanner. It’s yet another addition to its portfolio of 3D scanning solutions. Equipped with cutting-edge twin cameras, Artec Micro is the company’s most advanced desktop 3D scanner to date.

Complete with blue LED lights that are synchronized with the scanner’s dual-axis rotation system, Artec Micro creates a perfect digital copy using minimal frames. With a single click, this fully automated industrial scanner springs to life to create a high-resolution color 3D scan, boasting incredible point accuracy down to 10 microns—a quarter of a grain of table salt.

What prompted Artec 3D to launch its first desktop 3D scanner?

Artec 3D is constantly evolving, comparing the opinions of users and its customers to always deliver the best results and 3D resolution, which is ultimately the goal of users. Not only can Micro see well below the human visibility threshold of 40 microns, but its 3D measurements are among the best of today’s cutting-edge 3D scanners. It’s a perfect choice for quality control, reverse engineering, cultural heritage preservation, jewelry, and much more.

High-precision professional industrial desktop 3D scanner for small parts

This fully automated desktop 3D scanner was designed to deliver metrology-grade scans with just one click.

Perfect for quality control and inspection of small objects, reverse engineering, precision mechanics, jewelry, design, and more. Artec Micro scans with point accuracy down to 10 microns. Built for ease of use and high-precision results, this scanner brings the ultimate 3D scanning solution to your desktop.

Artec Micro brings the latest in scanning technology to your desktop. Its advanced twin cameras and blue LED lights are perfectly synchronized with the Micro’s dual-axis rotation system (flip and roll) to create the final digital copy of your object with minimal captured frames.

Compact and ready to scan in seconds. Simply place the object on the circular scanning platform and you’re ready to scan. Choose from a variety of intelligent scanning paths. Then watch in real time as your scan unfolds on the screen in stunning detail. You only need minimal training with the Micro. After a quick introduction, you’ll be scanning on your own.

Right out of the box, Micro integrates with the acclaimed Artec Studio for real-time digital capture. You can see your scans come to life on the screen. After scanning, Artec Studio makes it easy to process your scan. Simply follow the same series of steps you would with our handheld scanners and then export the final 3D model to software like SOLIDWORKS, PolyWorks Inspector, Control X, or Design X.
