Capturing the Grand Ducal Palace for the World Expo 🇯🇵🇱🇺

Go behind the scenes with Artec 3D specialists as we digitize the full palace complex. The team scanned the site with Artec Ray II, then used drone photos and video to reconstruct the areas Ray II cannot see from above with AI Photogrammetry in Artec Studio. Once both datasets were merged, the model was ready for VR and AR, featured in the pavilion experience at Luxembourg Expo Pavilion, plus a dedicated app for visitors around the world.

Happy New Year! Thanks for another year of challenging scans and great results. See you in 2026 🎉

Building Information Modeling or “BIM” is the industry standard for site management in construction, covering the capture, processing, and storage of information across the project lifecycle. Despite 3D technologies like LiDAR and photogrammetry increasingly taking market share, they’re often categorized as separate to the BIM ecosystem. In our article, we take a look at where these solutions are best applied and how they’re moving the industry forward.

This ultra-realistic digital twin displays an intricate assembly of piping, valves, and control devices of a pressure regulating station within a larger fluid control system. Captured with a tried-and-true combo of Artec Ray II and Artec Leo, all major components are fully revealed in the 3D model, down to the tiniest detail.

Capture and processing, end to end:
• Artec Ray II, long-range LiDAR for massive objects and entire scenes: 15 minutes, five scanning positions, densest point capture mode
• Artec Leo, wireless for hard-to-reach areas: HD frame recording set to High, 8 minutes of data capture, guided by the smart surface quality indicator on the built-in display
• Artec Studio: 35 minutes total, reconstruction of HD frames in High mode, separated then combined registration from both scanners, and concluded with Smart Fusion with settings of 1 mm for Leo data and 3 mm for Ray II data.

Explore the model via the link to zoom in and rotate the two flanged valves, smaller-diameter tubing, pressure gauges, and chain mounts. This level of detail fits applications from HVAC and plumbing to wide-scale engineering and manufacturing.

NEW in Artec Studio 20: Autopilot for Spider II

When people compare scanners, they often talk about capture speed and detail. The quieter deal breaker is how predictable the path is from raw scans to a model you can use today. Spider II Autopilot in Artec Studio 20 helps close that gap.

It guides the early checks (whether parts need erasing and if scans are already aligned), then runs the heavy lifting for you (global registration, outlier removal, fusion, mesh simplification, plus small-object filtering and optional texturing). Less second guessing, fewer reruns, more confidence in the workflow.

Behind the scenes: Capturing the Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg for the World Expo https://ow.ly/18bw50XNLfb

When Artec team got the call to digitize Luxembourg for the World Expo, they were delighted. Push 3D scanning to its limits and put your country on the map? What an opportunity!

They paired Artec Ray II with drone photos and video, processed with AI Photogrammetry in Artec Studio. Ray II scanned large structures from ground level from up to 130 meters away, and its built-in VIS tracked the scanner’s location in 3D and helped streamline pre-alignment. The drone capture added the aerial view and imagery, then Artec Studio merged both datasets into a single, unified, full-color 3D model. The team removed moving objects, filled holes, mapped textures, and decimated the model to reduce the number of polygons, keeping the asset lightweight for VR and AR delivery.

The result is an incredibly realistic, complete 3D model for showcasing Luxembourgish history, and sharing with visitors around the world via a dedicated app.

Same photos. Two results.

This quick side by side spin puts our AI Photogrammetry algorithms in Artec Studio up against other leading software, using the same photo set. The difference you see comes down to the reconstruction pipeline, how the algorithm aligns images, builds tie points, and turns them into a finished mesh.

The best part: you do not need a massive photo shoot to get a strong model. Even with a smaller photo set, the result stays coherent.

AI Photogrammetry is available in Artec Studio Pro and Artec Studio Lite. Lite makes this workflow accessible without a scanner: shoot photos or video on a phone or camera, process, then export. Subscription starts from $48/€48 for one month.

Try the same test: download the dataset, build your model in the tool you already use, then compare it with our reference result made in Artec Studio Lite.

In the spotlight: Replicad x Artec Spider.

At the beginning of 2025, Replicad created a high resolution 3D scan for Perridon Holdings of the sculpture “Ettore Bugatti on Horse” by Paul Troubetzkoy, captured with an Artec Spider scanner.

That scan data has now been used for the Bugatti Brouillard, a one-of-one hypercar custom built for Michel Perridon. The horse head on the gear shifter is a replica based on the sculpture’s horse head, created from the 3D scan and scaled to fit the interior detail.
