Metrology-Grade Accuracy
Measure signalized points with point-based accuracy down to 0.002 mm + 0.005 mm/m using the Professional version.
The Artec Metrology Kit is a portable optical coordinate measuring system designed for industrial photogrammetry, dimensional inspection, deformation analysis, large-part measurement, and high-accuracy 3D scanner referencing.
Designed for high-precision industrial measurement, the Artec Metrology Kit can operate as a standalone optical coordinate measuring system or as a photogrammetry reference solution for extending 3D scanner accuracy across larger measurement volumes.
Measure signalized points with point-based accuracy down to 0.002 mm + 0.005 mm/m using the Professional version.
Maintain high volumetric accuracy across large components, assemblies, tooling, vehicles, aircraft structures, and industrial equipment.
Measure parts in production environments where the object, fixture, or platform may move during data acquisition.
Transport the complete optical measurement system in a rugged case for use in workshops, production lines, test facilities, and field locations.
Combine photogrammetry reference data with Artec handheld 3D scanners to reduce accumulated error over distance and improve volumetric accuracy.
Integrate measurement results into professional inspection workflows using software such as Geomagic Control X and PolyWorks.
The Artec Metrology Kit is built for industrial users who need precise coordinate measurement across larger objects or measurement volumes where traditional fixed coordinate measuring machines may be impractical.
1. Prepare: Apply coded targets and place calibrated scale bars or reference accessories around the object.
2. Capture: Photograph the target network from multiple angles using the calibrated measurement camera.
3. Calculate: Process the images to calculate high-accuracy 3D coordinates and generate a reference point cloud.
4. Inspect or reference: Use the coordinate data for inspection or combine it with dense 3D scan data.
The system supports precision measurement across large and complex industrial parts, including applications where portability, repeatability, and accuracy over distance are critical.
Measure large components such as wind turbines, marine structures, tooling, and aerospace assemblies.
Use photogrammetry reference data to improve 3D scanning accuracy over distance.
Inspect body geometry, welding positions, sensor locations, and vehicle assemblies.

Photogrammetry provides a highly accurate reference network across a large object. Dense scan data from an Artec scanner can then be aligned to that network to preserve fine detail while reducing accumulated alignment error.
Combine the resolution of a handheld 3D scanner with photogrammetry accuracy across larger measurement volumes.
Import images, calculate reference coordinates, combine multiple point clouds, and align scan data in one workflow.
Maintain better volumetric accuracy when scanning vehicles, machinery, assemblies, and other large industrial objects.
