Global 3D scanning group Artec 3D recently launched the Artec Jet, a SLAM-based LiDAR system for precision data capture at scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deployable by hand, drone or vehicle, Artec Jet is fast and ultra-versatile, as the device can capture huge areas with survey-grade accuracy, including those in GPS-denied environments beyond the reach of traditional 3D mapping technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artec Jet\u2019s SLAM (simultaneous location and mapping) algorithms use captured LiDAR data for real-time positional tracking, mapping, and autonomous drone navigation. Indoors or outdoors, in the air or underground \u2013 even in complete darkness with zero connectivity and conditions considered too extreme for human exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the addition of Artec Jet, the Artec 3D ecosystem now has a solution for capturing accurate digital twins on any scale, from entire sites to individual components. Artec\u2019s newly expanded product lineup is expected to find applications in mining as well as AEC, defense, industrial plants, oil and gas, and civil infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President and CEO Art Yukhin said: \u201cOur mission has always been to make 3D scanning as fast, accurate, and intuitive as possible. Artec Jet expands this approach into larger environments, empowering our customers to capture infrastructure with the same level of confidence and ease. This incredibly versatile device brings unprecedented speed, precision, and autonomy to reality capture at scale.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

Precision mapping for any project need\u00a0<\/strong>
Artec Jet combines high-density LiDAR sensors and industry-leading SLAM positioning to capture with an accuracy of \u00b110 mm indoors and underground, while detecting small changes of just 5 mm, putting it among the best in mobile mapping. Users can improve global accuracy further with RTK accessories that enable GNSS-assisted georeferencing and reduce drift.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The device is also built to ensure that every scan counts. A dedicated companion app offers real-time feedback and on-site verification. With a 360- x 290-degree field of view, users get the full picture \u2013 and the addition of optional video cameras brings full color capture as well for maximum realism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With seven deployment modes: handheld, backpack, drone, vehicle mount, protective cage, telescopic pole, and robotic integration, Artec Jet easily adapts to specific project needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each modality delivers consistent, survey-grade results thanks to the scanner\u2019s SLAM algorithms, which are robust enough to perform regardless of how it is deployed. The versatile nature of the device also makes it a single solution for any design challenge, capable of replacing an entire fleet of specialized equipment \u2013 including in demanding environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built for tough working conditions, Artec Jet features IP65 dust and water protection, operates at temperatures of -10\u00b0C to 45\u00b0C, and weighs just 1.57 kg. So, whether you\u2019re capturing on foot, with a vehicle, deploying underground, or attaching to a UAV for aerial capture, the system is quick, intuitive and easy to use pretty much anywhere without requiring specialist training.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completely autonomous 3D mapping<\/strong>
One of Artec Jet\u2019s most transformative features is its ability to scan fully autonomously onboard a drone, without any human input. Using advanced SLAM algorithms and AI-powered navigation, the device independently plans its own flight paths, avoiding obstacles as small as 2 mm wires, while maintaining stable positioning and continuing to acquire reliable mapping data.

This enables safe entry into complex, hazardous, or confined environments like tunnels and unstable structures, where manual piloting would put personnel in harm’s way. If battery levels drop below safe thresholds, the drone automatically returns to its launch point, ensuring both data integrity and operational safety \u2013 via full end-to-end autonomous workflows.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With high-density LiDAR, real-time localization, and autonomous flight control, Artec Jet makes remote scanning seamless and redefines what\u2019s possible in aerial reality capture. Teams can deploy quickly, achieve comprehensive datasets in a single flight, and leave confident that even the most inaccessible spaces have been documented accurately at scale, without risk.

Process large-scale data in Artec Twins<\/strong>
Alongside Artec Jet, Artec 3D is also introducing a brand new software. Purpose-built for large-scale 3D data, Artec Twins is a processing and visualization platform that powers the entire Artec Jet workflow, transforming raw point clouds into analysis-ready datasets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can process, merge, georeference, visualize, and inspect massive scans efficiently, then export for next steps in industry-standard formats, including .LAS, .LAZ, .PLY, .DXF, and .E57. Designed to handle complex projects with speed and stability, Artec Twins turns even the largest scans into usable datasets that yield practical, actionable insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of scale, Artec Jet and Artec Twins complete the Artec 3D ecosystem. Professionals working on huge industrial projects spanning architecture, factories, public facilities, and more can now rely on Artec Jet for site-scale capture, Artec Ray II for large objects, and Artec Leo for component-level detail \u2013 all within one integrated hardware and software family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Artec Jet is the perfect solution for reality capture, digital twins, BIM, as-built documentation, volumetric measurement, change detection, condition assessment, and inspection across large-scale underground mining, construction, security, public safety, and infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
