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
All Artec scanners are faster in 3D data capture than contact-based measurement solutions, acquiring millions vs. hundreds of points per second.
Being lightweight and fully portable, Artec scanners can easily be taken anywhere you need to go, whether that’s across the factory floor, or over to a different facility in another city or country.
Artec scanners require very little training, so in less than 2 hours you can be scanning your objects of choice, confidently and effectively.
All our scanners are contact-free, so you can scan a full spectrum of surfaces without worrying about any risk of deformation or damage.
Digitally capture auto parts, assemblies, and components with up to 0.005 mm accuracy.
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.
