Artec Point II 3D Scanner
Metrology-grade laser scanning, now with faster, denser data capture
Artec Point II 3D Scanner
Artec Point II is a handheld, target-based 3D laser scanner built for high-accuracy quality inspection, metrology and reverse engineering.
For engineering teams looking for an Artec 3D scanner that combines portability with metrology-grade performance, Point II captures up to 5.8 million measurements per second while maintaining accuracy of up to 0.02 mm.
Three scanning modes, a rugged handheld design and the intuitive Artec Studio workflow make Point II a versatile solution for capturing dense, highly detailed 3D data across a wide range of engineering applications.
With accuracy validated through rigorous testing to recognised metrology standards, Artec Point II provides a portable solution for demanding industrial measurement, inspection and reverse engineering applications.
Why choose the Artec Point II?
Artec Point II is designed for engineers and quality teams that need accurate, repeatable 3D measurement without being tied to a traditional fixed inspection system.
Its expanded laser configuration captures more data with every pass. Ultra-fast mode uses 54 crossed blue laser lines, while hyper-fine mode uses 17 parallel blue laser lines, helping users capture complex components and detailed surfaces quickly and efficiently.
With up to 0.02 mm accuracy, robust target-based tracking, three scanning modes and a lightweight handheld design, Point II combines metrology-grade measurement with the flexibility to capture areas that conventional measurement equipment may struggle to access.
Capture up to 5.8 million measurements per second
Point II captures up to 5.8 million measurements per second, enabling fast, detailed data acquisition across complex components and surfaces.
Capturing more data in each pass helps users build dense, detailed 3D datasets efficiently, reducing the number of passes required and helping to speed up the scanning process.
With capture rates of up to 120 FPS, Point II maintains stable tracking as the operator moves the scanner around the component.
ISO-certified metrology-grade accuracy
Greater scanning speed does not come at the expense of measurement accuracy.
Artec Point II delivers up to 0.02 mm 3D point accuracy and 0.02 mm resolution, making it suitable for tolerance-driven inspection, quality control and precision reverse engineering.
Its accuracy and repeatability are ISO 17025 accredited, based on VDI/VDE 2634 and JJF 1951 standards, providing confidence in measurement results where precision and reliability are critical.
Three scanning modes for different geometries
Switch between three laser configurations to suit the component, geometry and level of detail required.
Ultra-fast scanning – 54 crossed blue laser lines: Rapidly capture larger components and surface areas while generating detailed, manageable 3D datasets.
Hyper-fine scanning – 17 parallel blue laser lines: Capture intricate geometry, fine details and features such as engravings at high resolution.
Deep hole scanning – single blue laser line: Reach into narrow, difficult-to-access geometry, including deep holes, grooves and recessed features.
Together, these three modes give engineers the flexibility to move from fast general capture to high-resolution detail and difficult-to-reach features using a single scanning system.
Scan black, shiny and difficult surfaces
Laser-based capture makes Point II Artec 3D scanner particularly well suited to industrial components with challenging surface finishes.
Complex, dark and reflective surfaces can be digitised accurately, making Point II suitable for demanding applications across manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, tooling and other engineering environments.
Target-based tracking helps maintain stable, accurate positioning as the scanner moves around the component, supporting reliable data capture even across complex geometries.
Reach areas other measurement systems cannot
At just 570 g, Point II Artec 3D scanner is designed to bring metrology-grade measurement directly to the component.
Its lightweight, ergonomic design and angled HD cameras make it easier to scan underneath, behind and inside components, including confined spaces, tight assemblies and awkward geometries.
A scanning area of up to 700 × 600 mm and a depth of field of 550 mm provide the flexibility to capture everything from smaller precision parts to larger industrial components and assemblies.
Artec Point II and Artec Studio
Like other Artec scanners, Point II integrates with Artec Studio, providing a connected workflow from 3D data capture through processing, inspection and reverse engineering.
Operators receive real-time visual feedback while scanning, helping to identify areas that require additional coverage before the scan is completed.
Captured data can then be processed into accurate 3D models for measurement, inspection and reverse engineering. Artec Studio includes tools for comparing scan data against CAD, identifying deviations, checking tolerances and preparing geometry for downstream engineering workflows.
For more advanced inspection requirements, data can also be exported to specialist platforms including Geomagic Control X and PolyWorks Inspector.

Frequently asked questions about the Artec Point II
What is the Artec Point II?
Artec Point II is a handheld, target-based blue laser 3D scanner designed for metrology, quality inspection and reverse engineering. It delivers up to 0.02 mm 3D point accuracy and captures up to 5.8 million measurements per second, combining high-accuracy measurement with fast, portable 3D data capture.
What is the difference between Artec Point and Artec Point II?
Artec Point II retains the original Point’s stated accuracy of up to 0.02 mm while increasing data acquisition speed from up to 2.8 million to 5.8 million measurements per second. It also uses an expanded laser configuration to capture more surface data in each pass, supporting faster, denser 3D scanning.
