    Features

    Leo does the heavy lifting. You just point & shoot

    Interactive real-time scanning hints, hybrid target-free tracking system, smart scanning modes for faster data processing – just a few things that make our Leo the easiest 3D scanner to use. Just pick it up, point at whatever you want to scan, and hit that start button. Leo will take care of the rest.

    Seamlessly pause and resume scanning whenever you need

    When you’re ready to continue, Leo will pick up from where you left off, and add the new data to the existing project.

    HD Mode
    Scan the object

    Distance color map to aid scanning

    To help you keep the optimal distance to the object during scanning and thus capture more data in less time, Leo has visual aids in place. The surface you're scanning will be displayed in red on Leo's screen if you're holding the scanner too close to it, or blue if the distance is too great. And if it’s green? You're doing everything right.

    Scan the object

    Never miss a spot

    Smart surface quality indicator on the display lets you see which areas have been captured completely, and which require additional attention, for example more frames or more coverage from different angles. It also gives you hints if you are scanning too fast or holding the scanner too far.

    Smart data capture, no targets needed

    Leo’s state-of-the-art hybrid geometry and texture tracking frees you up from using any additional equipment like targets or markers for stable scanning. You can just point it at the object and start scanning. It’s that easy.

    Smart scanning, less processing

    Powered by proprietary AI technology, Leo captures only the data you need – more intelligence for less processing time and cleanup work.

    HD Mode

    Scan Anywhere

    Got a Question About the Artec Leo?

    HD Mode is a scanning feature powered by AI algorithms that enables the creation of sharper, cleaner, and highly detailed 3D models, offering twice the resolution of standard SD data. With HD Mode, you can achieve up to 0.2 mm resolution, allowing your Leo scanner to capture smaller, thinner elements, hard-to-reach areas, as well as black and shiny surfaces—parts that were previously challenging or impossible to scan. HD Mode is available for Artec Leo and Eva scanners running Artec Studio 15.1 or later.

    Visit here for more information about HD Mode.

    Exactly! The Leo scanner uses white structured light technology, making it completely safe for scanning any living creature. For the best results, it’s important that the person or animal stays still throughout the scanning process to avoid artifacts or noise in the final model. Animals, due to their natural tendency to move, can be challenging to scan, so we recommend capturing them while they’re sleeping.

    No, Leo doesn’t require targets or calibration to begin scanning. It uses powerful hybrid geometry and texture tracking to capture objects in 3D, even those with minimal features.

    With its extended field of view, the Leo excels at capturing medium-sized objects like gearboxes, castings, furniture, statues, and the human body, as well as large objects such as automotive parts, turbines, ship propellers, small boats, and room interiors.

    The Leo stands out as a fully wireless scanner. Unlike other 3D scanners that require connection to a computer or tablet to view results, the Leo has an integrated computer and touchscreen, allowing you to see scanning results in real-time.

    For 3D scanning medium and large objects like cars or airplanes, portability is essential. Traditional 3D scanners connected to a PC can be cumbersome to move and maneuver, especially in hard-to-reach areas. With the Leo, this problem is eliminated. You can easily walk around the object, holding the Leo like a video camera, without the hassle of wires getting in your way or switching screens to view the results. Everything is seamlessly integrated into one compact, user-friendly unit.
