Wireless 3D Scanning Without a Laptop or Cables

Leo combines scanning, onboard processing, a built-in display, Wi-Fi, battery power, and real-time feedback in one professional handheld system.

01

Fully Standalone Scanning

Scan without a laptop, power cable, or data cable. Leo processes and displays scan data directly on the scanner.

02

Real-Time 3D Preview

See the model develop live on the touchscreen and identify areas that still need coverage.

03

Fast Data Capture

Capture up to 35 million points per second in HD workflows for rapid digitization of complex objects.

04

Target-Free Tracking

Hybrid geometry and texture tracking helps scan many parts without reflective targets.

05

Full-Color 3D Models

Capture geometry and texture together with 2.3 MP color resolution.

06

AI-Powered HD Mode

Capture sharper edges, thin features, recessed geometry, and difficult surfaces with reduced noise.

What Can You Scan With Artec Leo?

  • Automotive components and vehicle sections
  • Industrial machinery, castings, and manufactured parts
  • Reverse engineering and CAD reconstruction
  • Quality control and dimensional inspection
  • People, healthcare, orthotics, and prosthetics
