Artec 3D
Artec Jet SLAM LiDAR 3D Scanner
High-precision mobile LiDAR mapping for any environment — indoor, outdoor, or underground.
Real scenes to digital twins — in minutes
The Artec Jet is a next-generation high-speed mobile LiDAR mapping system engineered for professionals who need survey-grade accuracy without the complexity. Combining SLAM-based positioning with an AI-powered autonomy engine, it captures sites, facilities, and critical infrastructure in GPS-denied environments — in minutes rather than hours.
Whether you're doing as-built documentation on a construction site, mapping underground tunnels, scanning industrial facilities for digital twins, or performing infrastructure inspection, the Artec Jet delivers precise, reliable point clouds across environments that would defeat conventional scanners.
At just 1.57 kg, it's compact enough to carry by hand, yet capable enough to deploy on a backpack, drone, robot, vehicle, telescopic pole, or cage — giving your team full operational flexibility with a single device.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the Artec Jet and buying from 3DMakerWorld.
The Artec Jet is a high-precision SLAM LiDAR mobile mapping system that captures detailed 3D point clouds at up to 1.9 million points per second over a 300-meter range. Unlike conventional LiDAR scanners, it uses SLAM-based positioning — meaning it works without GPS in underground, indoor, or other signal-denied environments. It's also unique in supporting 7 distinct deployment modes (handheld, backpack, drone, robot, vehicle, telescopic pole, cage) from a single compact, 1.57 kg device, with an AI autonomy engine for drone mapping.
Yes. The Artec Jet is specifically engineered for GPS-denied environments. Its industry-leading SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms build a real-time map of the surrounding environment to maintain accurate positioning — no satellites needed. This makes it ideal for tunnels, mines, underground infrastructure, subterranean facilities, and dense urban canyons where GPS is unavailable or unreliable.
The Artec Jet delivers ±15 mm mapping accuracy in general outdoor environments, ±10 mm in indoor and underground environments, and ±5 mm change detection capability. With RTK GNSS accessories, global accuracy can be further improved. These levels are appropriate for digital twins, as-built documentation, volumetric measurement, and structural inspection in construction, mining, civil infrastructure, and industrial applications.
Yes. 3DMakerWorld is an official Gold-Certified Artec 3D Reseller — the highest tier of Artec reseller authorization. This means we are fully authorized to sell, demonstrate, and support the complete Artec 3D scanner lineup including the Artec Jet. Our team holds Artec certifications, allowing us to provide expert pre-sale consultations, hands-on demos, technical onboarding, and ongoing US-based support.
The Artec Jet is widely deployed in mining (tunnel mapping, volumetric surveys), construction (as-built documentation, clash detection), defense and public safety (facility mapping, hazardous area capture), civil infrastructure (bridge and road inspection), manufacturing (digital twins, plant layout), and utilities (pipeline and substation mapping). Its GPS-free capability and rugged IP65 rating make it suitable for any challenging environment.
Yes. The Artec Jet's AI autonomy engine enables full drone-based aerial LiDAR mapping, including GPS-denied environments. You simply set waypoints; the drone flies autonomously with active collision avoidance that can detect obstacles as small as 2 mm wire. A return-to-base failsafe automatically brings the drone home if battery drops or conditions change. This makes it possible to map elevated, dangerous, or hard-to-reach areas without putting personnel at risk.
The Artec Jet pairs with Artec Twins for point cloud processing, cleaning, registration, and export. It also supports third-party LiDAR processing software via standard output formats including LAS, PLY, and E57. A companion mobile app provides real-time point cloud preview during scanning for on-site verification.
