Artec 3D, a global leader in 3D scanning technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Zeiss, the renowned optics and optoelectronics giant. The collaboration aims to deliver cutting-edge metrology solutions for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing, combining Artec’s high-precision scanning hardware with Zeiss’s advanced inspection and reverse engineering software.
Enhanced Workflow for Complex Applications
The partnership integrates Zeiss INSPECT Optical 3D and Zeiss REVERSE ENGINEERING software with Artec Studio, enabling engineers to streamline scan-to-CAD workflows, automate inspections, and correct deviations faster. This synergy is expected to boost productivity and set new benchmarks in quality control, particularly for high-stakes applications like turbine blade inspection and automotive prototyping.
A Shared Vision for Innovation
Artec 3D CEO Art Yukhin emphasized the strategic value of the alliance: “Teaming up with Zeiss allows us to offer our users more powerful tools for tackling complex challenges.” Meanwhile, Dr. Marc Wawerla, CEO of Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions, highlighted the partnership’s potential to “leverage market-leading expertise for broader industry adoption.”
Expanding Capabilities with Custom Apps
The collaboration also introduces Zeiss’s Airfoil and Tool Correction apps to Artec’s ecosystem, enhancing precision for specialized tasks. These tools will be available directly through Artec 3D, providing users with seamless access to Zeiss’s software suite alongside Artec’s handheld and automated 3D scanners.
Redefining Industrial Metrology Standards
By merging Artec’s real-time scanning with Zeiss’s AI-driven inspection, the partnership promises to accelerate digital twin creation and first-article validation, reducing time-to-market for critical components. This alliance marks a significant step toward fully integrated 3D metrology solutions, empowering manufacturers to push the boundaries of precision engineering.
