Artec Jet
Scale-accurate Mobile LiDAR Mapping
what is the artec Jet?
The Artec Jet is a high-speed, mobile LiDAR mapping system designed to digitize large-scale environments, facilities, and infrastructure with survey-grade accuracy. Utilizing advanced SLAM-based (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) positioning and AI-powered autonomy, the Jet captures complex sites in minutes rather than hours. Whether handheld or mounted to a drone, robot, or vehicle, it excels in GPS-denied environments like underground mines, tunnels, and dense industrial plants, providing a seamless "site-to-component" workflow within the Artec 3D ecosystem.
Features
AI Autonomy & Safety
When deployed on a drone, the Jet's AI engine enables fully autonomous flight and obstacle avoidance. Its omnidirectional LiDAR detects hazards as small as 2mm wires from up to 40m away, ensuring safe mapping in hazardous or confined spaces without a pilot.
Total Deployment Freedom
Switch between handheld, backpack, drone, vehicle, robot, telescopic pole, and protective cage deployments in seconds. The quick-release mechanism allows you to adapt to any environment, from factory floors to vertical shafs, without mid-session recalibration.
Precision Anywhere
Engineered for precision where traditional GPS fails, the Jet maintains a low ±0.03% drift rate. It delivers mapping accuracy of ±10mm in indoor and undergroun environments, making it the ideal solution for digital twins and as-built documentation of large infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Unlike photogrammetry, which relies on ambient light, LiDAR is an active sensing technology. It generates its own light source by emitting laser pulses and measuring their return. This allows scanners like the Artec Jet to maintain peak precision in pitch-black environments, such as mines, tunnels, and unlit interior spaces, without any loss in data quality.
