Powered by Artec Studio and Artec Cloud integration, this versatile scanner is now more powerful than ever. The software enables you to scan directly to the cloud, remote-control the scanner, and even build your own functionality with a dedicated API and SDK. Leo is also regularly updated with performance enhancements and stability improvements.

Transformative features in Artec Studio give you an accelerated workflow in which Leo speeds up the data acquisition process and seamlessly hands off your scan data to Artec Studio for mesh-to-CAD analysis, easy primitive-fitting, and many other enhanced operations.

HD is a scanning mode powered by artificial intelligence algorithms that allows you to create sharper, cleaner, and far more detailed 3D models with a resolution 2X higher than that of the original SD data. In HD Mode, a resolution of up to 0.2 mm can be achieved and your Leo can capture much smaller and thinner elements, hard-to-reach areas, black and shiny surfaces and other parts that were difficult or impossible to capture before. HD Mode is available for Leo and Eva scanners running Artec Studio 15.1 or higher.

Thanks to its extended field of view, Leo excels at capturing both medium-sized objects such as gearboxes, castings, furniture, statues, and the human body, as well as large objects like automotive parts, turbines, ship propellers, small boats, and room interiors.

Leo stands out by being completely wireless. Unlike other 3D scanners that need to be connected to a computer or tablet to display scanning results, Leo has an integrated computer and touch screen onboard, where you can see results in real-time.

The wireless Artec Leo with an inbuilt touchscreen has earned its reputation as a professional 3D scanner that provides exceptional ease of use and mobility. With the 2022 Artec Leo you can now expect more power, guaranteed accuracy, and vibrant color, as well as a multilingual interface to provide accessibility at every step.

When it comes to capturing data to improve your process, the opportunities are plentiful, but the challenges may be, too. Time, object size, and accessibility can get in the way of acquiring accurate, uncompromised results.

With onboard automatic processing and wireless connectivity, Artec Leo easily captures the widest range of sizes as you move around easily as if filming a video, while a 3D replica is built in real time on HD display.

Versatile and all-round scanning solution in a wide range of industries and applications. Across everything from manufacturing to healthcare to art and design, Leo helps thousands of businesses and professionals do their jobs faster, better, and more efficiently.

I am currently investigating purchasing a 3D scanner to help me in creating CAD models of existing parts. The parts I want to model are mostly injection-molded plastic shells for things like consumer electronics, but I want to end up with a parametric model rather than just a mesh. The parts I am reverse engineering often have complex spline-style curves, which I can't just readily model using my trusty old caliper and bevel protractor. So a 3D scanner seems like a good way to capture those curves without having to physically cut the original parts, trace the curves in 2D, and then scan and trace into a Fusion sketch.

I'm looking at the Einscan Pro scanner. It's about $4k. I'm just a hobbyist, so I'd rather not drop that kind of money unless I'm pretty confident I can use it to achieve my purposes with Fusion. Does anybody have experience doing this kind of thing with Fusion 360?

To be completely honest...if your planning to use "Only" Fusion and a 3d scanner your headed for a lot of long tedious work. On the other hand if you use other 3d software with Fusion you will get work done and be happy with the results.

@PhilProcarioJr: Interesting. What other 3D software, for example, would you suggest? I believe most 3D scanners come with software that generates STL/OBJ meshes, so I wasn't planning on actually scanning directly into Fusion (didn't even know that was possible, if it is). My planned workflow was something like: scan with the Einscan Pro, clean up and simplify the mesh in the scanner software, and then import into Fusion to trace the contours of the scanned geometry as a jumping off point for a parametric model.

This feels kind of retrograde to me. But maybe a 3D scanner (at least the kind available in this price range rather than the $15k plus industrial ones with reverse engineering software) just isn't the right solution to the problem?

The problem is you want to buy an optical scanner so your scans will not be 100% accurate. Next is scan data is almost always dense, triangulated data which is always a nightmare to work with. So to really work with those scans you need to retopologize your scan meshes to really get good usage out of them. I do this work everyday so I know how much of a nightmare it can be to work with scan data.

My suggestion to you would be to download some free scan data and try to convert it into a Fusion model to see if this is the route you want to take. A lot of people I know give up that idea once they see how much work is involved to get true accurate solid models from scans...

We have been using Geomagic Design X for the last few years which is a great product but not at a price point that's suitable for occasional use. We've also used Spaceclaim with reverse engineering plug-ins in the past. The debate is always whether one models in one of the specialised tools (like Geomagic Design X) or uses a mesh-based program to do data capture/ mesh clean-up/ mesh alignment/ mesh reduction etc. and then use a CAD tool like Fusion 360 to do modelling , drawings/CAE/CAM etc.

From an initial peek, Fusion 360 can handle lightweight meshes, can create polyline sections which you can fit sketches to and would allow you to create prismatic CAD models from mesh data. Is it is as sophisticated as Geomagic Design X? Not by an order of magnitude, but at an order of magnitude lower price. So for occasional use, you could use the software that comes with your scanner to generate a mesh and align it to the global origin. If you needed more work on the mesh, there are free programs out there (including Autodesk Meshmixer) that can help.

The last post was spot on with his comments about accuracy and precision from a hand held scanner. Mold-makers (and ourselves) generally use scanning arms which combine contact and non-contact methods to generate accurate data for reverse engineering machined parts like molds. But our Faro Edge HD scanner is at the $50,000 price point with software like Design X. Don't expect a $4k handheld to produce the same results.

I can't speak high enough for Fusion in this case. I am a novice to be sure, but I am having great luck bringing in scans with 2 million facets into Fusion, even working with them. I know there are ways to get MUCH more efficient that some of these experts have chimed in with, but I have been developing my process for a couple years part time and am really please with how it is working for me. I am using scans as a design "guide" and I make parametric models only by using a scan as a guide.

The scans I have been using have been very accurate, and I have used the top of the line $100k+ Creaform metrology grade scanner, a David, and recently doing a lot with the new Einscan top end model. I am getting results that match physical dimensions within a few thousandths of an inch. The Creaform is a metrology grade unit and is more capable, but the DAvid and Einscan are performing excellent for what I need.

Case, that is awesome - thanks for sharing! We do mainly castings such as cylinder heads, blocks, sumps, pumps, superchargers etc. for pre- and post-war autos and bikes etc. so do appreciate that what you've achieved with Fusion 360 deserves a very large Kudos point! Thanks for blazing the trail!

It would be interesting to get a handle on the Fusion 360 roadmap as to whether there is any development planned on the reverse engineering front. For sure, Geomagic Design X has great functionality that helps speed-up reverse engineering - for example it will auto-estimate a fillet size from scan data and can do scan-to-CAD deviation etc. etc. but at a massive cost - the annual maintenance charge here in the U.K. is nearly $4,000 per year including taxes!

I need to get my head around how to align the scan data accurately in Fusion. In Design X you would typically align the scan roughly to the global origin using best fit to regions (they might be planar or cylindrical features for example), then take a slice through some geometry that had machined features, fit construction geometry to the polylines and use the resultant sketch to accurately align the scan via 3-2-1 alignment or similar. Time spent on alignment is time well-spent. How do you handle that process in Fusion?
