Roof structure was the tricky bit. Arched steel beams, cross-bracing, ducts, lighting rigs all packed in up there. Drone handled the access without scaffolding.

Meet Artec Jet: a new high-speed mobile LiDAR mapping system that combines SLAM-based positioning and AI-powered autonomy to capture sites, facilities, and other infrastructure with survey-grade accuracy. Scanning at 1.9 million points per second at a range of 0.5–300 m, Artec Jet delivers dense point clouds in minutes rather than hours – even in GPS-denied, zero-light environments where traditional technologies simply can't go. 

Use one of seven deployment modes. Capture by hand, or mount to a backpack, vehicle, or robot, lower into vertical shafts with a protective cage, extend on a telescopic pole, or fly on a drone – Artec Jet is highly versatile, offering multiple functionalities in a single solution. 

From underground mining and AEC to defense, public safety, and civil infrastructure, Artec Jet captures valuable insights that reduce costly errors and improve on-site decision-making.

We're hosting a free webinar on April 23 — an expert-led talk on 3D scanning in product design, featuring Luca Ciccone and Isaac Neaves from Saucony.

Registration: https://artec-group.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_v3NUYESuQiysiWe1pFbOEg

They'll walk through how they use Artec Spider II across three very different use cases: digitizing archival designs for reissue, capturing hand-sculpted collaboration pieces for production, and scanning R&D prototypes to validate performance geometry.

No sales pitch — just real workflows and an open Q&A.

If you work on physical consumer products, this one's worth an hour of your time!
