Artec Leo is a fully wireless, standalone professional 3D scanner with onboard processing, a built-in touchscreen, exchangeable battery, and real-time 3D model visualization. It is designed for fast, accurate scanning of automotive parts, machinery, people, and industrial components without being tethered to a computer.
Leo combines scanning, onboard processing, a built-in display, Wi-Fi, battery power, and real-time feedback in one professional handheld system.
Scan without a laptop, power cable, or data cable. Leo processes and displays scan data directly on the scanner.
See the model develop live on the touchscreen and identify areas that still need coverage.
Capture up to 35 million points per second in HD workflows for rapid digitization of complex objects.
Hybrid geometry and texture tracking helps scan many parts without reflective targets.
Capture geometry and texture together with 2.3 MP color resolution.
Capture sharper edges, thin features, recessed geometry, and difficult surfaces with reduced noise.
Explore the wireless handheld scanner, calibration setup, and professional scan-processing workflow.
Scan around vehicles, machinery, people, and large parts without a laptop or data cable.
Standalone professional 3D scanning with onboard processing, battery power, and integrated display.
Use the Leo calibration kit to verify scanner performance and maintain measurement confidence.
Process Leo scan data for reverse engineering, inspection, CAD workflows, and 3D printing.
1. Scan: Move around the object while monitoring coverage on Leo’s built-in display.
2. Review: Fill in missed areas using real-time visual guidance.
3. Transfer: Move the scan data wirelessly or over Ethernet.
4. Process: Use Artec Studio for alignment, fusion, mesh creation, inspection preparation, and export.
