Artec 3D is delighted to announce that it has been shortlisted in the 3D Scanning or Metrology Company category of the 2026 3D Printing Industry Awards.
Over the last decade, the 3D Printing Industry Awards have become one of the industry’s most prestigious honors, with winners decided through a combination of public voting and expert assessment. This year’s shortlists include some of 3D printing and scanning’s biggest names, spanning everything from hardware to software, applications, and community advocates.
Being recognized alongside all those shaping our industry is a real source of pride for the entire Artec 3D team. We’re thrilled to be shortlisted, and we would be honored if you’d consider voting for us. All you need to do is enter your email address, nominate, and hit submit!
Why your vote matters
The 3D Scanning or Metrology Company category recognizes the technologies supporting digital capture, inspection, reverse engineering, and quality assurance.
As a previous winner, we’re delighted to be back in contention, and with the final result shaped by public voting, every vote counts. If Artec 3D scanners drive your business forward, or you’ve been inspired by what our customers achieve with them, your vote can help bring the title back to Artec 3D. You can find out more about Artec 3D scanning for manufacturing here.
A milestone year for Artec 3D
Our nomination caps one of the busiest years in Artec 3D’s recent history. In April, we launched Artec Jet, a mobile LiDAR scanner that maps entire sites at a range of up to 300 m; Artec Point II followed in August, more than doubling the speed of its predecessor with up to 5.8 million points per second and certified accuracy of 0.02 mm.
September marked our move into tolerance-driven metrology with Artec Neo, a wireless blue-light scanner that delivers 0.025 mm accuracy when capturing key features, and full-color high-resolution data everywhere else. Our in-house metrology calibration laboratory also earned ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation from OLAS, Luxembourg’s national accreditation authority – calibration certificates issued by the body are recognized in over 100 countries.
For a detailed breakdown of its specifications, accuracy figures and workflow, see the Artec Neo overview on 3D Mag.
Then in October, we introduced Artec Twins, our software for 3D scanning large areas, complete with Gaussian Splatting for photorealistic digital twins, rounding off a big year for the company.
