Artec's 3-D scanner offers precise readings

Artec Micro Artec 3D’s new desktop 3-D scanner can be used to inspect the geometries and tolerances of small parts for quality assurance, as well as for reverse engineering.

What’s new? The metrology-grade scanner. 

Benefits Ease of use and precise scans. According to the company, users can learn to operate the Artec Micro in minutes. The most accurate of the company’s scanners, the device can place a location to within 10 microns of its actual spot — a difference a tenth of the size of a grain of table salt. With it, users can accelerate their design, prototype and production schedules.
