Artec 3D launches Artec Jet: a survey-grade mobile LiDAR scanner with SLAM for fast, autonomous, site-scale 3D mapping

Global 3D scanning provider Artec 3D announced the launch of Artec Jet, a powerful new SLAM-based LiDAR system for precision data capture at scale.

Deployable by hand, drone, or vehicle, Artec Jet offers unparalleled flexibility. Lightning-fast and ultra-versatile, the device captures huge areas with survey-grade accuracy, including those in GPS-denied environments beyond the reach of traditional 3D mapping technologies.

Artec Jet’s industry-leading SLAM algorithms use captured LiDAR data for real-time positional tracking, mapping, and autonomous drone navigation. Indoors or outdoors, in the air or underground – even in complete darkness with zero connectivity and conditions considered too extreme for human exposure.

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’s newly expanded product lineup is expected to find applications everywhere from AEC to mining, defense, industrial plants, oil & gas, and civil infrastructure, driving efficiency by cutting lead times and costs.
