Over the years, the manufacturer Artec 3D has made a name for itself in the professional 3D scanner market thanks to the success of its portable Eva and Spider models. More recently, the manufacturer has evolved its range with the appearance of new products such as the Artec Leo, the Micro or the Ray, as the manufacturer hopes to cover an ever wider range of applications and sectors.
First announced at the 2017 CES show in Las Vegas, the Leo 3D scanner represents the latest generation of portable 3D scanners from Artec 3D but also one of the very first wireless models on the market. By integrating a battery and a touch screen, the Leo is indeed autonomous, allowing users to avoid needing to use a computer or a tablet to operate it. In terms of budget, the Leo remains in the middle range of professional portable 3D scanners with a base price of $29,800 (€26,700).
The Artec Leo comes in a protective case that includes power cables, a battery and instructions for use
After testing the Artec Micro a few months ago, we recently had the opportunity to get our hands on the Leo 3D scanner in the 3Dnatives Lab. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Artec Leo? What kind of parts can be scanned with this equipment? Does the performance justify the price of this equipment? Read the full review of the Artec Leo 3D scanner below.
