How Artec 3D is supporting Ukraine

Artec 3D scanners for the automotive industry

Accurately digitizing parts of any shape and size with lighting-fast Artec 3D scanning drives productivity, cuts lead times, and facilitates vehicle modding, restoration, and manufacture, without compromising on safety or quality.

3D scanning for automotive

Applications

Reverse engineering

Instantly 3D capture auto parts that lack documentation, technical drawings, or those modified from their original designs – then generate accurate CAD models for further analyses and development.

Inspection and quality control

Easily collect and compare 3D scan data to CAD models to determine the accuracy of manufactured parts versus the original designs.

Rapid prototyping

Quickly create accurate, high-resolution 3D models of any auto part, component, or entire vehicle and use them as reference models for designing new prototypes.

3D visualization

Deliver immersive experiences by 3D scanning car interiors and exteriors and easily creating VR-ready 3D models, so your customers have the freedom to explore these virtual cars from anywhere, just as they would in a usual car dealership.

Virtual simulations

Obtain high-precision 3D models of any part or object to perform virtual motion analysis, virtual assembly, and other simulations.

Digital archive

Digitize all existing parts and tools to have a fully digital 3D archive, which can be utilized in further CAD/CAM/CAE applications.

Design for aftermarket auto parts

Replicate missing or hard-to-find auto parts in high-resolution 3D quickly and easily.

Success stories
