Photogrammetry-Grade Measurement, Anywhere
The Artec Metrology Kit is a photogrammetry-based 3D optical coordinate measuring system for high-precision industrial work such as inspection, deformation analysis, and reverse engineering. It can run as a standalone measurement system or act as a reference that improves the volumetric accuracy of your Artec 3D scanner.
The full kit travels in a rugged, portable case and supports dynamic referencing for capturing objects in motion — making it practical on the shop floor, in a climate chamber, or on site.
Measurement Accuracy You Can Certify
Optical accuracy that complements the dense point clouds of Artec scanners.
Up to 2 Micron Accuracy
DAkkS-certified 6DoF optical measurement with accuracy of up to 2 microns on the Professional version.
Scanner Referencing
Combine an Artec scanner's dense point cloud with the Kit's optical accuracy for volumetric accuracy of up to 15 µm/m.
Short Measuring Time
Fast acquisition suits climate chambers and other testing environments where time and access are limited.
Available Models
Two versions of the Metrology Kit, each with the Artec Studio plugin and adjustable camera settings.
Metrology Kit — Entry

Certified, Rugged, Production-Ready
Both versions ship as a calibrated, DAkkS-certified system built for industrial environments, with a rugged case for transport and a plugin that brings the full photogrammetry workflow into Artec Studio.
- DAkkS certificate for the complete system, including scale bars and sensor
- Dynamic referencing for objects in motion
- Compatible with Geomagic Control X and PolyWorks
Referencing & Accessories
Targets & Scale Bars
Place coded targets, reference crosses, and scale bars that stay fixed relative to the object, then photograph from multiple heights to build an accurate target cloud.
Scanner Referencing
Improves accuracy over distance for Artec Leo, Eva, and Space Spider by combining the target cloud with a dense scan.
Used for aircraft components, ships, wind turbines, storage tanks, sheet-metal and fixture inspection, and deformation analysis.
Artec Studio Plugin
One Workflow from Photos to Point Cloud
The Metrology Kit plugin for Artec Studio covers the full scanning and photogrammetry workflow, and results can be used for deformation analysis, flatness inspection, and dimensional measurement.
