Scan anywhere. No computer. No cables.
The Artec Leo is the only fully standalone professional handheld 3D scanner. Everything you need is built into the device: an NVIDIA Jetson TX2 supercomputer for onboard real-time processing, a tilting 5.5″ HD touchscreen that shows your 3D model being built as you scan, a swappable battery, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 512 GB of storage.
That means no laptop to carry, no cable to trip over, and no tether limiting how you move. Walk around a car, a turbine, a patient, or a crime scene the same way you'd film it with a video camera — and watch the 3D replica appear in real time. Rotate the model on screen, spot any gaps, and fill them in before you leave the site.
Powered by Artec's AI algorithms and hybrid geometry-plus-texture tracking, Leo locks onto your object with no targets, no markers, and no surface prep — and its Class 1 VCSEL light source lets it scan reliably even in direct sunlight.

Watch how Leo captures objects in real time — no computer, no cables, model building live on screen.
Engineered so you never miss a scan
Smart guidance, onboard intelligence, and professional accuracy — designed to make expert-quality capture achievable on day one.
Real-time 3D preview onboard
The tilting 5.5″ touchscreen builds a live 3D replica as you scan. Rotate it, check coverage, and fill gaps on the spot — no laptop required.
Target-free hybrid tracking
Combined geometry and texture tracking locks onto the object itself. No stickers, markers, or sprays for most surfaces — including many shiny metal parts.
Onboard AI processing
The embedded NVIDIA Jetson TX2 processes scan data in real time on the device, so what you see on screen is what you'll get in software.
HD Mode: 2× resolution
AI-powered HD Mode sharpens resolution up to 0.2 mm (0.008 in) and cleans noise automatically — capturing thin ridges, sharp edges, and dark or shiny surfaces.
Scans in direct sunlight
The eye-safe Class 1 VCSEL projector uses a pattern invisible to the human eye, so Leo keeps capturing outdoors where other structured-light scanners fail.
Color-coded scan guidance
Red means too close, blue means too far, green means keep going. A surface-quality map shows exactly which areas still need coverage.
Hot-swappable battery
A built-in exchangeable battery keeps you scanning all day in the field — with optional AC power for bench work.
Scan-to-cloud & remote control
Upload projects straight to Artec Cloud over Wi-Fi, control the scanner from a browser, and collaborate with your team from anywhere.
Photo Texture photogrammetry
Blend Leo scan data with photos from your own camera in Artec Studio for CGI-grade models with lifelike texture.
One scanner for the widest range of objects
With a 160,000 cm³ (≈ 5.7 cu ft) capture zone and a working distance of 0.35–1.2 m (1.1–3.9 ft), Leo excels at medium (20–50 cm / 8–20 in) and large (50–200 cm / 1.6–6.6 ft) objects — and paired with a capable workstation, it handles very large objects and entire scenes such as room interiors and accident sites.
Because Leo uses safe white structured light (Class 1), it's fully safe for scanning people and animals — a key reason it's trusted in healthcare, prosthetics, and body scanning.

Artec Leo vs. Artec Eva vs. Artec Spider II
Three professional Artec handhelds, built for different jobs. Here's the short version.
Artec Eva
Fast, lightweight structured-light scanner with the same 0.1 mm (0.004 in) accuracy at roughly half Leo's price — but it needs a laptop and cable. Best for bench and studio work where mobility isn't critical.
Artec Leo
The only fully standalone option: onboard computer, touchscreen, and battery. Widest object range — from parts to people to whole scenes. Best all-around choice for field work and mixed workloads.
Artec Spider II
0.05 mm (0.002 in) accuracy for small, intricate objects with sharp edges and fine features. Best for small parts, quality inspection, and detail work — pairs beautifully with Leo for full coverage.
