Auto temperature control

The Artec Leo now comes with software enhancements that regulate the scanner’s operation to keep its components at optimum operating temperature.

This helps ensure that your device’s accuracy is not affected by temperature changes that might have subtle effects on readings from internal components.

Scan in full sun

Slip, slap, slop – because the Artec Leo 3D scanner scans is also sun safe.

3D scanning in full sun is no problem for the Artec Leo thanks its class 1 laser system that enables users to digitise hard-to-scan textures in bright conditions.

Seamless pause/play

When you’re ready to continue, Leo will pick up from where you left off, and add the new data to the existing project.

Capture optimisation

With Auto Base Removal and Scan Project Optimisation, Artec Leo captures only the data you need – more intelligence for less processing time and cleanup work.

Onboard 3D preview

Forget having to tether your device to a laptop to see scan data. Leo’s interactive touch screen displays a real-time replica as you scan, with visual guides that show you the quality of the data in different regions of your scan

Scan quality verification

Smart surface quality indicator on the display lets you see which areas have been captured completely, and which require additional attention, f.ex. more frames or more coverage from different angles. It also gives you hints if you are scanning too fast or holding the scanner too far.

Cable-free scanning

An all-new, cloud-connected, WiFi-enabled, and completely cable-free design lets you take Artec Leo’s immense scanning capabilities wherever you need them without ever needing a computer. Take full control with a tilting, interactive screen that displays a real-time replica with color-coded cues to help you capture perfect scans, every time.

Cable-free data transfer

Leo’s unique features: a compact design, long-lasting battery, interactive touch screen, scan-to-cloud, WiFi connectivity, and remote control combine to give you all the scanning and data transfer functionality you might require, right from the device itself without the need for additional devices, power or data cables.

Large parts, fine details

With a 160,000 cm-cubed capture zone, Leo is truly versatile when it comes to size. It excels at capturing both medium-sized (20-50 cm) and large (50-200 cm) objects and surfaces. However, if paired with a powerful computer, it can take on even very large objects (200+ cm) or even entire spaces, such as rooms or crime scenes

Distance color map assist

To help you keep the optimal distance to the object during scanning and thus capture more data in less time, the Artec Leo has visual aids in place. The surface you’re scanning will be displayed in red on Leo’s screen if you’re holding the scanner too close to it, or blue if the distance is too great. And if it’s green? All systems go – you’re doing everything right.

Tilting screen

Leo’s compact and ergonomic design already makes it possible to scan in tight spaces or from awkward angles. The interactive display also tilts to give you added flexibility and increased freedom of movement so you can use the scanner in many more ways.

Targetless scanning

Leo’s state-of-the-art hybrid geometry and texture tracking frees you up from using any additional equipment like targets or markers for stable scanning. You can just point it at the object and start scanning. It’s that easy.

Vibrant texture

Take CGI photogrammetry to the next level using scan data from Artec Leo, with photos from your own camera. Bring it all together in Artec Studio in one seamless process to get stunning, life-like 3D models with perfect geometry and the texture quality you want.

Leo calibration kit

Recalibrate your Artec Leo in your own time, and in your own environment, to ensure its accuracy always stays at its highest.

HD Mode for 2x resolution

The resolution of your scan data steps up 2x while removing noise for you, leaving you with the tidiest noise-free 3D model. Hard-to-reach areas and difficult-to-scan surfaces such as thin ridges or sharp corners are now easier than ever to capture, with enhanced reconstruction and improvements to edge curvatures.

Screen mirror

For utmost convenience or just to impress your colleagues and clients with cinematic boardroom demonstrations, access Leo remotely through your browser to monitor the scanning process, control the scanner, and manage projects.

Artec Leo recommended IT specs

CPU

RAM

GPU

Storage

“Something recent (2-4 years)”

“Best bang for buck – as much as possible”

“A recent gaming card with 8 GB VRAM or more” *

“2 TB is enough with a robust backup solution” **

Note that some other scanners in our range require different and more specific computing hardware.

* If you are using CAD software such as SOLIDWORKS, Inventor etc, a gaming card may not be fully supported so you may have to step up to a NVIDIA Quadro / RTX A-series. We have access to a growing list of suitable graphics cards so if in doubt, ask.

This IT spec information is intended to be used as a guide only and final IT spec information should be checked thoroughly in person with one of our technicians prior to making a computer purchase.
