Artec Jet

Developed in collaboration with Emescent, the Artec Jet is a high-precision SLAM LiDAR scanner for any environment

Whether you’re capturing large machinery, vertical shafts, factories, open-air sites, or road networks, Artec Jet scales effortlessly to match the scope and complexity of your project. Access environments that are difficult to reach or dangerous to enter — and scan critical assets with a single device built for the toughest conditions.

From real scenes to digital twins in minutes

Artec Jet is a high-speed mobile LiDAR mapping system that combines SLAM-based positioning and AI-powered autonomy to capture sites, facilities & infrastructure, even in GPS-denied environments – in minutes rather than hours, with survey-grade accuracy.

Capture by hand, or mount to a backpack, robot, vehicle, or drone. Artec Jet offers multiple different deployment modes in a single compact, lightweight device. Choose the modality that best suits your application, whether it be open-air surveying or underground mapping, and ensure that on-site teams steer clear of hazardous, hard-to-reach areas.

Within the mining, construction, defense, public safety, and civil infrastructure industries, Artec Jet captures accurate data, ideal for digital twins, as-built documentation, volumetric measurement, clash detection, and inspection.
Together with Artec Ray II and Leo, scanners well-suited to large-object and fine-detail capture, Artec Jet enables a complete pipeline for digitizing everything from sites to components.

Capture at speed with survey-grade accuracy

Artec Jet’s high-resolution LiDAR sensors and industry-leading SLAM technology deliver detailed point clouds at high speed – for reliable data capture over wider areas in less time.

Backpack

Free your hands during longer surveys with a backpack SLAM LiDAR scanner. Pair with RTK or ground control points (GCP) for georeferencing above ground — and continue seamlessly into GPS-denied zones in the same session.

Unrestricted navigation

Optimal for GPS-denied areas, indoor/underground areas, and complex structures.

Autonomous

Offers autonomous navigation + mapping in constrained environments.

Automatic removal of moving objects

Offers integration with data from Ray II, Leo, and other Artec scanners.

Gaussian splatting

At just 5 kg including the tripod, Ray 2 3D scanners need no targets and are ready for full setup in mere seconds.

Endless use-cases

Offers one system that can fly + walk + mount and then be controlled via targets, GCP, or checkpoints.

Handheld

Using a handheld SLAM LiDAR scanner, you can walk through and scan any space. At 1.57 kg, Jet is effortless to carry around buildings, facilities, and confined spaces.

Comprehensive long-range capture

Artec Jet’s robust SLAM algorithms deliver reliable results across seven modes. Choose the modality that addresses your current project needs — and know you’re ready for whatever comes next. One device, one workflow, one investment.

Artec Jet / Artec Twins recommended IT specs

CPU

RAM

GPU

Storage

“Something recent (2-4 years)”

“Best bang for buck – as much as possible”

“A recent gaming card with 8 GB VRAM or more” *

“2 TB is enough with a robust backup solution” **

Note that some other scanners in our range require different and more specific computing hardware.

* If you are using CAD software such as SOLIDWORKS, Inventor etc, a gaming card may not be fully supported so you may have to step up to a NVIDIA Quadro / RTX A-series. We have access to a growing list of suitable graphics cards so if in doubt, ask.

This IT spec information is intended to be used as a guide only and final IT spec information should be checked thoroughly in person with one of our technicians prior to making a computer purchase.
