Artec 3D , a 3D scanning hardware and software company, has launched Artec Jet , a mobile LiDAR system for survey-grade 3D mapping across large sites. Introduced alongside new processing software called Artec Twins , the scanner is designed for use by hand, drone, or vehicle in indoor, outdoor, underground, and GPS-denied environments.

Captured LiDAR data is processed through SLAM algorithms for real-time positional tracking, mapping, and autonomous drone navigation. According to the company, the device delivers accuracy of ±10 mm indoors and underground, while detecting changes as small as 5 mm. RTK accessories can be added for GNSS-assisted georeferencing and reduced drift. A companion app provides real-time feedback and on-site verification during scanning, while a 360° x 290° field of view can be paired with optional video cameras for color capture.
