Artec 3D has launched Artec Studio 20, its software package for 3D data capture and processing, with new levels of automation.
Artec state that new Workflows allow for the creation of much faster, fully-automated, customised data processing pipelines – used for digitisation, design iteration and bulk product analysis.
Workflows can be customised to specific application needs by queuing algorithms and hitting run, something Artec says takes captured data to 3D model in ‘one click’ and makes processing 70% faster, while freeing up users to complete other tasks.
Inside Artec Studio 20, parameters can still be adapted to different datasets, while settings no longer need to be configured each time, ideal for repeat tasks.
Refined masking in Artec’s AI Photogrammetry promises ultra-realistic, artifact-free 3D models, which require minimal editing to reach a full digital twin. Multi-camera support expedites photogrammetry data capture, as well as opening the software to different hardware combinations – whether it be drones, smartphones, handycams, or DSLR cameras.
By activating sharp image prioritisation, users can ensure that only the best possible frames are chosen from uploaded photos or video for maximum realism.
Moreover, GPU Memory Optimization customizes settings to each user’s individual hardware needs, to make sure that AI Photogrammetry reconstructs models with peak efficiency.
Artec Studio 20 is already an all-in-one software for 3D scanning, photogrammetry, reverse engineering, and quality inspection, but the latest release also leans on features enabled by its latest hardware. Capture with Artec Spider II is more efficient thanks to Live Scan Decimation, which delivers high-detail, lightweight models, ideal for rapid prototyping and 3D modelling.
Artec Micro II, meanwhile, has been enhanced with support for HD Mode and 3-axis scanning, allowing it to reach an even higher resolution, and deliver more complete scans of small objects for reverse engineering and inspection.
The Artec Spider II now offers real-time fusion. Previously an Artec Leo exclusive, this algorithm delivers better feedback via highly detailed live previews for reliable data capture.
“Our last release turned Artec Studio into a complete package, with practically anything a user could need to capture a 3D model,” said Artec 3D CEO Art Yukhin. “Artec Studio 20 raises the bar in every way possible.
“Workflows allow users to customise and automate repeat tasks for bulk processing. Our hardware and software is also faster, better integrated, and easier to use – in a way that delivers meaningful ROI benefits for customers across industries.”
Better integration with third-party software makes Artec Studio 20 more effective across applications. Zeiss Inspect advanced analysis tools are now easier to access thanks to a new interface that makes export straightforward, and allows for scripting automation. Enhanced USD file support enhances the software’s functionality for CGI and visualisation users. RCP file support has also been added, bringing compatibility with popular BIM platforms like Autodesk Revit.
