(Artec 3D: Luxembourg) -- Artec 3D, a global 3D scanning hardware and software leader, has announced the launch of Artec Neo. The first tolerance-driven 3D scanner, it unlocks a new approach to inspection and reverse engineering.

Artec Neo delivers metrology-grade accuracy of 0.025 mm and volumetric accuracy of 0.025 mm + 0.035 mm/m where the design demands it, while capturing full-color 3D data of the entire part at up to 0.05 mm resolution.

These specifications are impressive in their own right. But Artec Neo goes even further, introducing an entirely new 3D scanning approach. Instead of treating every surface as equally critical, the device reserves metrological accuracy for functional features. This is what Artec calls tolerance-driven 3D scanning: It gives users full flexibility in how they apply targets and delivers metrology-grade results with far greater efficiency.
