One scanner, five ways to deploy it
Artec also make a telescopic pole and a protective cage for it, so there are seven ways in all.
Handheld
Walk through buildings, facilities and confined spaces.
Backpack
Hands free on large sites, with RTK georeferencing that carries on into GPS-denied areas.
Drone
Reach dangerous, elevated or beyond line of sight areas, with collision avoidance, even in the dark.
Robot
Mount on platforms such as Boston Dynamics Spot to map where people should not go.
Vehicle
Cover road networks and long linear assets quickly without losing mapping quality.

Artec Ambassador and Gold Certified Specialist
Artec 3D recognise us for advanced product knowledge, extensive practical experience and consistently high standards of customer support. That means we can tell you which scanner is right for your work, show it to you properly, train your team and keep supporting you once it is yours. Onboarding and training are included with every Jet.
On your own parts, at our site in Cheshire or at yours.

Artec Jet questions
Straight answers from the team that sells and supports the Jet in the UK.
What is SLAM LiDAR mobile mapping?
SLAM combines laser scanning with Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping. The LiDAR captures a dense point cloud while SLAM works out where the scanner is by matching features around it, so you can map on the move indoors, underground or anywhere GPS is not available.
How accurate is Artec Jet?
It depends on the environment and how you scan it. Published figures are up to ±10 mm mapping accuracy indoors and underground, ±15 mm in general environments plus ±5 mm change detection.
What is included?
A ready-to-scan kit: the scanner, battery, charger, handle, cable bag with battery cable for walking scans, belt clip, international power adapters and a quick start guide. Backpacks, vehicle mounts, the telescopic pole, the cage, drone fitting kits, RTK base stations, a long-range radio and a colourisation kit are options we quote for your survey.
Do I need to buy a drone separately?
Yes. Jet is the payload. It mounts to supported drones, which Artec list as the DJI M300, DJI M350 and Freefly Astro Max. We confirm the current list when you order.
What software does the Jet use?
Artec Twins, rather than Artec Studio. Twins is licensed separately, as a 1, 3 or 5-year subscription or a lifetime licence. It processes the scans, removes drift, georeferences, merges sessions and adds colour. It then exports LAS, LAZ, PLY, DXF or E57 for your CAD, BIM or survey software. For drone and robot missions, Artec Jet Autopilot is licensed separately too.
Does it work in the dark and underground?
Yes. LiDAR sends out its own laser pulses, so it needs no ambient light. SLAM positions the scanner without satellites. Unlit tunnels, basements, mines and sealed buildings scan as well as a site in daylight.
Should I choose the Jet or the Ray II?
The Jet maps on the move, which makes it much faster over whole sites and in GPS-denied spaces. The Ray II scans from fixed tripod positions. It gives the highest accuracy and detail in a focused area. They complement each other. Artec Twins merges data from both.
Can I try Artec Jet before buying?
Yes. The usual route is a live demonstration in your own environment, on your site, so you can judge the capture speed, coverage and point cloud on a job you know. We can also talk through evaluation options for your project.
What support do I get in the UK?
Europac 3D is an Artec Gold Certified Specialist and Ambassador, based in Cheshire. Onboarding and training come with every Jet. We help you set up a reliable workflow from capture to deliverable. We give technical help by phone or email. The Jet has a two-year warranty, handled through us.
