DAkkS-certified 6DoF optical measurement

Complete optical coordinate measuring system with accuracy of up to 2 microns. Camera resolution of up to 30.3 megapixels, a 28-mm wide-angle lens, measurement targets, adapters, and scale bars.

Use it anywhere

The whole Kit fits in a rugged, portable case, and with dynamic referencing, you can capture objects in motion – perfect on sites where it’s impractical to use traditional measuring machines and other 3D measurement tools.

Compatible with different software

The Artec Metrology Kit is compatible with industry-leading software solutions like Geomagic Control X, PolyWorks, and many more.

High precision for full confidence

Get much more precise datasets and confidently perform inspection in use cases where requirements on repeatability are high.

Incorporate photogrammetry data into your own workflow

Use the Metrology Kit’s data in your own workflow to make comparisons with 3D meshes, CAD entities, and to make highly accurate measurements of distances.

Maintain precision in unstable environments

Accurate measurements fulfilling repeatability requirements can be taken during almost any production step – even where the part is in motion. On a hydraulic ramp, for example.

Short measuring time

Work comfortably in demanding testing environments such as climate chambers, where very short acquisition times are crucial, but reliable precision and highly accurate datasets are non-negotiable.

Convenient workflow

The Metrology Kit’s simple workflow is especially important given the large number of measurement points typical in deformation analysis and extreme working conditions like high temperatures and humidity.

Portable and flexible

The Metrology Kit’s portability ensures ease of use when working in tight spaces often characteristic of climate chambers.

Greater accuracy over distance

The Metrology Kit produces a point cloud with high volumetric accuracy that you can use as a reference to get great 3D scanning results over distance even when you’re not using a 3D scanner for metrology.

Simplified workflow

A complete, self-contained workflow from signalizing to reporting makes the measurement process seamless, and integrates the whole photogrammetry-complemented pipeline into one environment.

Increase the range of smaller scanners

Use scanners with a relatively small field of view to accurately capture much larger objects. This means you can capture small details while maintaining very high volumetric accuracy, up to 0.015 mm + 0.015 mm/m.

Automotive industry

A major car manufacturer in Germany used the Metrology Kit for quality control to analyze the positions of welding studs on every fourth chassis in a production line. The results were used to program the welding robot.

R&D

As part of tests and research for autonomous driving, major car manufacturers use the Metrology Kit to accurately determine the positions of sensors on a car body and correctly place them within the car’s coordinate system.

Aerospace

Organizations in astronomy, defense, and space in the UK, Germany, and Japan use the Metrology Kit for high-accuracy applications. Deformation analysis was done on the main and sub panel systems of this large satellite antenna tilted at various angles.

Object preparation

Place targets, reference crosses, and scale bars on surfaces around the object, ensuring they do not move relative to the object throughout the capture process.

Capture

Systematically take pictures at different heights, creating a kind of dome around the object with the camera positions. Capture each target at least 6 times, and the reference cross from four perpendicular angles.

Processing

Import the images into Artec Studio, with the Metrology Kit plugin installed, or your favorite photogrammetry software, to generate a target cloud.

Reporting

Use the resultant point cloud for deformation analysis, flatness inspection, general dimensions measurement, or your own specific engineering use case.
