Artec Point II Scanner Doubles Speed for Industrial Metrology

Artec 3D has launched the Point II, a second-generation handheld laser scanner built for industrial metrology. The update doubles the scanning speed of the original model without changing its accuracy or workflow.

The Point II captures up to 5.8 million points per second. That is more than twice the rate of the first-generation Point. Operators can switch between three scanning modes. Ultra-fast mode projects 54 laser lines across large surfaces. Hyperfine mode uses 17 parallel lines for detailed work. A single-laser mode reaches deep holes and hard-to-access features.

Accuracy remains at 0.02 mm. The scanner is verified in an ISO-certified lab and compliant with VDI/VDE 2634 and JJF 1951 standards. Those certifications matter for teams that need to verify parts against tight tolerances.

The hardware is palm-sized and designed for one-handed use. It tilts into confined spaces and carries an IP50 dust-protection rating. Operating temperature range spans -10°C to 40°C, covering manufacturing, mold-making, energy, and heavy industry environments.

Point II integrates with Artec Studio, the company's 3D scanning and processing software. It also pairs with other Artec 3D devices in the same project, supporting reverse engineering and quality inspection workflows.

Artec 3D is positioning the Point II as a direct replacement for the original Point. The price, accuracy, and software workflow stay the same. The gains come from upgraded laser hardware inside the same form factor. This is the same approach the company used with the Micro II in 2023 and the Leo update in 2022.

The scanner is available immediately through Artec 3D's global network of certified partners.
