Artec 3D scanning solutions for healthcare
Fast, safe, and precise: Artec 3D scanners provide what’s most essential to the medical industry.
3D scanning for healthcare
Artec solutions are indispensable in various medical applications, from prosthetics and orthotics to plastic surgery or dentistry. Whether it’s an impeccably accurate anatomical 3D model of the human body, a bespoke implant, or a customized wheelchair, our 3D scanners will help you bring high-quality, specialized care to your patients.
Benefits
All Artec scanners are fully portable and non-contact, and can be used wherever you need them.
Safer, more delicate technology, making a scanning process worry-free for your patients.
Capture your objects with sensational precision — from teeth or ears to an entire leg or a whole human skeleton, all in minute detail.
Medical staff are always pressed for time, so a gentle learning curve is key. In less than two hours, any professional will be ready to start scanning.
Applications
Prosthetics and orthotics
Reinvent cancer post-treatment or recovery from limb loss by digitizing body parts with remarkable precision for ergonomic prosthetics and orthotics (such as AFO and TLS).
Surgery
Use a 3D model to study a tumor before removal, or 3D print a malformed/missing body part with unmistakable measurement of shape, volume, and symmetry.
Plastic surgery
Allay your patients’ worries about possible outcomes by providing accurate 3D models for surgical planning and post-operative evaluation in aesthetic and craniofacial surgery.
Maxillofacial surgery
Whether you work on dental or cranial implants, intraoperative navigation, or orthodontic treatment, Artec solutions will help you meet and exceed global standards in reconstructive therapy.
Oncology and radiology
Accelerate cancer diagnosis, study tumors, estimate areas for radiotherapy, and create form-fitting implants.
Pathology and forensic medicine
Get precise, textured data crucial for forensic investigation: identify changes to the body, shed light on trauma and stages of decomposition, and document injuries.
Anthropometry and obesity treatment
Identify the slightest anthropometric changes, and use these accurate body measurements to create customized bariatric and sports treatment with zero contact.
Burns and scars healing
Treat sores and burns — from pressure therapy to reduce vascularity and possible hypertrophy to tracking wound healing.
Diagnostics
Capture crucial data about your patient’s condition so you can make a diagnosis at a much earlier stage, which could be a literal life-saver.
Preclinical testing
Digitize a residual limb or post-op scars to get accurate measurements for a customized prosthesis, or run surgery simulations with 3D models and uncover new possibilities.
Medical training
Use Artec scanners to create immersive 3D visualizations for use in medical research and practical workshops, providing students with innovative ways to explore human anatomy.
Success story
A plastic surgeon in California uses Artec Space Spider to help children born with microtia by giving them new, long-lasting ear implants.
to 3D scan the child’s ‘normal-sized’ ear to create an ultra-realistic implant for the malformed ear
“When Chris pushed the button and began scanning with Space Spider, I was amazed by the level of detail appearing on the screen in real time. Everything he scanned was captured just perfectly. In just seconds, the organic shapes and features of the ear were all picked up and transformed into a 3D scan so incredibly lifelike.”

What’s the next step?
Medical field embraces 3D scanning for revolutionary results
Discover the best practices for improving patient care with the help of 3D technology — and be at the forefront of truly innovative healthcare.
A German prosthetics company employs Artec Eva, Artec Studio, and Geomagic Freeform to create a bespoke, maritime-themed lower-leg prosthesis, also equipped for swimming and diving.
“Whenever you need to create an orthosis, or an upper- or lower-body prosthesis, with high-tech or low-tech materials, first you absolutely must have accurate measurements of the patient’s body where the new device will connect.”
Parisian prosthetist uses Artec Eva to make customized breast prostheses for post-mastectomy cancer survivors, providing a recovered silhouette, balance, and dignity.
“I am delighted with the solutions offered by Artec 3D, which help me a lot to develop and make great progress in taking measurements. Today, 3D scans are obvious in medicine to reproduce, not just create. It’s a chance to help people regain what they’ve lost.”
3D dental scanner Artec Space Spider helps give dental implant patients their perfect smiles
“We do the scan right there in the office with the patient in the chair. And patients don’t mind waiting to see their new smile and interacting with such technology, since taking 2D photos was hard for us because our patients had lost their confidence in smiling, because many of them had broken or missing teeth. But by showing them a 3D face instead, the kind we generate with the help of Space Spider, this solves our problems in these complex cases. When they see the results, they are very often quite impressed and positive and trust us.”
