ARTEC LEO: Precision 3D scanning for model makers – Part 1 🚁🔍

Technical highlights of the ARTEC LEO scanner for model making explained

The video from **Modellpilot EU**, published on January 20, 2025, offers a fascinating insight into the world of **high-end 3D scanning** in model making. The *ARTEC LEO* scanner, awarded by **scanner2go.de**, is described as a true game changer for hobbyists and professionals alike.

**Challenges in model making**

In the model building world, the construction of precise interior fittings was previously very time-consuming and often error-prone. Traditional methods such as manually measuring the interior spaces and the *frames* were time consuming. These methods were not ideal, especially for the development of high-quality 3D models for **CAD applications**.

Many inexpensive 3D scanners (500 – 3,000 euros) do not offer the high-end quality required for professional **scale model building**. This is where industrial **handheld scanners** come into play. Devices starting at 40,000 euros provide the necessary *resolution* and precision and are now so user-friendly that they can also be used in **hobby model building**.

**Advantages of the ARTEC LEO scanner**

The special thing about the *ARTEC LEO* is that it is also suitable for **reverse engineering** in the industrial sector. The advantages of the *ARTEC LEO* include:

  • Scanning of fuselages, wings and original parts
  • Creation of 3D printing and CAD hull expansion data
  • High-precision template development for repairs or mold making
  • Renting the **ARTEC LEO** from scanner2go.de includes insurance and first-class support, making it the ideal choice for all model building enthusiasts.

    **Conclusion and call-to-action**

    The video impressively shows how the *ARTEC LEO* scanner sets new standards in model making. Its use could revolutionize the way models are created in the hobby and professional sectors. Worth a recommendation for all model building enthusiasts!
