(Artec 3D: Luxembourg) -- A global 3D scanning leader, Artec 3D has announced a partnership with LuxProvide, the organization behind the MeluXina supercomputer.

Also located in Luxembourg, MeluXina is capable of carrying out billions of calculations per second, making it one of Europe’s most powerful computer systems. Moving forward, the technology is set to become a critical asset in the development of next-generation 3D surface reconstruction algorithms—and turbocharge Artec 3D’s machine learning (ML) research.

With further R&D, advanced neural reconstruction is expected to improve surface accuracy, capturing intricate details with unprecedented clarity. AI-powered material detection will enable users to differentiate between surfaces more effectively, improving applications in quality control and reverse engineering. In terms of texture capture, machine learning is also set to enhance mapping, resulting in more lifelike 3D models with ultrarealistic colors.

Overall, it’s forecast that optimized AI algorithms will reduce scanning and post-processing times, enabling engineering professionals to work more efficiently and deliver faster results. Likewise, smarter automation and AI-driven insights will increasingly allow manufacturers to simplify workflows while making high-end 3D scanning more accessible and intuitive.

“Collaborating with LuxProvide is allowing us to harness MeluXina’s immense computational power and take our R&D to the next level,” says Art Yukhin, CEO and president of Artec 3D. “This partnership allows us to explore innovative machine learning techniques that will shape the future of 3D scanning and data processing, enabling our products to deliver even more precision, speed, and versatility to our customers.”

The WP5 New Machine Learning Algorithms research project is a significant step forward for Artec 3D as it continues to innovate in the fields of photogrammetry, machine learning, and AI. The results are set to enhance the company’s offering in various industries, including healthcare, automotive, manufacturing, and heritage preservation.

With the continued support of advanced platforms like MeluXina, Artec 3D remains at the fore of 3D scanning technology, driving the evolution of digital and data-driven economies worldwide.

“We are proud to support Artec 3D’s pioneering work in AI-driven 3D technology,” says Filipe Pais, CCSO of LuxProvide. “By leveraging the expertise of LuxProvide, as well as the power of MeluXina supercomputer, we are enabling Artec 3D to accelerate its research and development initiatives by giving them the resources they need to develop smarter 3D scanning solutions using AI and advanced data processing. This collaboration reflects our commitment to empowering tech leaders in Luxembourg and beyond.”
