Artec 3D Scanner

Artec 3D Scanners use 3-D video cameras that capture a 3-D image in each frame and then combine them automatically into a single mesh. The scanning process is as easy as walking around the object while continuously “videoing” it from 360°. The video-based scanners’ outstanding measuring speed of up to 500,000 points per second make them many times faster than laser scanners, and they can be used to scan moving objects as well as stationary ones.
