The new handheld scanner captures up to 5.8 million points per second with 0.02 mm accuracy, targeting manufacturing quality control and reverse engineering workflows.
Artec 3D has started shipping the Point II, a handheld laser scanner built specifically for industrial metrology. The device replaces the original Artec Point and more than doubles the data capture rate, reaching 5.8 million points per second.
The upgrade comes from a new laser configuration. Point II projects 54 lines in ultra-fast mode and 17 parallel lines in hyperfine mode. Operators can switch between three scanning modes at the touch of a button: rapid capture for large surfaces, high-resolution scanning for fine details, and a single-laser mode for deep holes and hard-to-reach features.
Accuracy remains at 0.02 mm, with volumetric accuracy of 0.015 mm plus 0.035 mm per meter. The scanner is ISO-certified and compliant with VDI/VDE 2634 and JJF 1951 standards. That certification matters for teams verifying parts against tight tolerances.
The physical design stayed compact. Point II weighs 570 g and fits in one hand. An IP50 rating keeps dust out, and the operating range spans minus 10 to 40 degrees Celsius. A wrist strap is included for extended sessions above shop floors.
Artec Studio handles the point cloud processing. The scanner also pairs with other Artec devices if a project needs both laser and structured-light capture.
Point II is available now through Artec 3D's global partner network at a list price of $29,900.
