3D Models

Just a few minutes of scanning was enough to capture a significant portion of the frame’s geometry for a vivid example of what HD Mode is all about.

Motorcycle wheel HD • Eva • HD

Scanned with Artec Eva, two common scanning challenges were overcome: Black surfaces, and shiny objects.

Ornate wooden doors HD • Eva • HD

These elaborately-crafted wooden doors were scanned with an Eva in merely a handful of minutes. Since the resulting 3D model was destined for use in a movie, the doors’ many intricate carvings needed to pass close visual inspection.

Patchwork chair • Leo • HD

Can you capture color? With the new Leo, texture stands out vibrantly and bold, while fine lines and surfaces are accurately captured for a true-to-life 3D model.

Radiator grille HD • Leo • HD

With noise levels at an absolute minimum, holes become that much easier to scan, as can be seen here.

Snowmobile • Leo • HD

Just one look at this detail-rich 3D model of a snowmobile gives you an idea of how challenging the original object could have been to 3D scan.

Tripod • Eva • HD

Fine lines and sharp edges have always been tricky to scan but with the new HD Mode, those difficult areas are hardly the challenge they used to be.

Wooden chair HD • Leo • HD

The chair’s crisp edges along its cross rails, legs, and stiles, together with its precise interfaces among components, called for a high degree of precision.

Airplane without texture • Ray

This Klemm L25d VIIR LX-MA airplane is an exhibit at the Aviation Museum in Mondorf-les-Bains, Luxeumbourg. Artec Ray was placed in 26 different positions around the airplane to make a complete 3D model.

Ball joint • Space Spider

A very simple part to scan and a good example of scanning holes.

Bat-eared fox skull • Space Spider

This small and fragile skull of a bat-eared fox was scanned with Artec Space Spider. While the model looks complicated, there were no challenging areas to scan.

Borderlands cosplayer • Eva

A cosplay of an armed mercenary girl from a popular videogame Borderlands.

Bronze sculpture • Eva

The statue is very rich geometrically, and despite some large flat areas, the aged bronze provided plenty of texture, so tracking wasn't an issue.

Bronze statue • Space Spider

This small figurine of a Chinese horseman warrior was scanned to make perfect replicas in different sizes.

California office chair • Leo

What appears to be a normal, everyday office chair, plucked from the glass and steel confines of a typical high-tech office in sunny California, serves as a fine example of capturing modern furniture with Artec Leo.

Car body • Leo

Taking only 20 minutes to scan the whole car, and just under one and a half hours to process the captured 3D data, this highly accurate 3D model was ready in under two hours from start to finish.

Centurian helmet • Space Spider

The inner side of this old bronze helmet is very narrow. Artec Spider was able to scan it perfectly and in high detail.

Chair • Eva

A wooden chair scanned with Eva. To scan the thin parts, we laid it onto the floor in order to get a background surface.

Chandelier • Space Spider

This chandelier has fantastic geometry and good original texture for smooth tracking.

Chinese coin • Space Spider

This coin was thick enough to stand its side and was captured in just two scans. The second scan was to cover the side that the coin stood on.

Christmas Bear • Leo

Now, if this hyper-realistic 3D model of an adorable bear doesn’t conjure thoughts of a jolly Christmas, what will?

Church façade • Combo

Team Artec is constantly putting 3D scanners through all sorts of tests to see how well they handle a wide range of objects, as well as to delineate the best path to follow for delivering the most accurate results. One such test project is showcased here on this page.

Cog fidget spinner with carvings • Space Spider

A metallic fidget spinner in a shape of a cog with two different carving patterns on each side — a Celtic runes pattern and compass markings.

Coins • Space Spider

These coins were scanned on a leaflet featuring printed text to make it easy to capture the edges.
