At Mark3D UK, we’re committed to helping manufacturers build stronger, smarter digital workflows. Alongside our range of Markforged composite and metal 3D printers, we’re pleased to announce that we are now an official distributor of the Artec range of professional 3D scanners.

This addition allows us to offer customers a more complete digital manufacturing workflow – from initial design to finished, validated parts.

Introducing the Artec Portfolio

The Artec scanner family is renowned for combining speed, precision, and ease of use across a wide range of applications. Through Mark3D, you can now access:

  • Artec Leo – A wireless handheld scanner with real-time 3D visualisation, making it fast and intuitive to capture large or complex objects.
  • Artec Spider II – A high-resolution blue-light scanner designed for smaller, intricate components that demand exceptional accuracy.
  • Artec Studio – Powerful software that processes scan data, aligns and optimises models, and connects seamlessly with CAD workflows.

Together, these tools make it easier than ever to digitise parts, refine designs, and integrate 3D scanning directly into your additive manufacturing processes.

Practical Applications for Your Business

Adding Artec scanners into your digital workflows opens up a wide range of opportunities, including:

  • Reverse Engineering – Digitise legacy components or tooling that may not have CAD data.
  • Quality Control – Validate printed or machined parts against original CAD models with precision.
  • Product Development – Capture and iterate designs faster, supporting rapid prototyping and innovation.
  • Replacement Parts – Reproduce unavailable or hard-to-source components on demand.

For organisations already using Markforged 3D printers, these scanners add another layer of flexibility – ensuring designs and printed parts are accurate, repeatable, and production-ready.

See the Technology in Action

We’ll be showcasing the Artec scanners alongside our full range of Markforged printers at the Advanced Engineering Show. Visitors will be able to see live demonstrations and speak to our team about how scanning and printing can work hand-in-hand to deliver a complete manufacturing loop. Alternatively, why not come along to one of our Open House Events held monthly in our offices in Halesowen.

Next Steps

With Artec scanners now avilable through Mark3D, our customers can access a broader set of tools to enhance their digital workflows. Whether you’re exploring reverse engineering, looking to digitise legacy parts, or aiming to tighten up your quality control, Artec technology can help.

Learn more about 3D scanning, arrange a demo, or come and see us at Stand S160b at Advanced Engineering between 29th & 30th October at the NEC, Birmingham.
