Artec develops and sells 3D scanners. Our 3D scanners (also known as 3D cameras) work in real time, which makes them easy to use and customize for an array of applications. Artec 3D scanners are extremely versatile and are used in fields such as reverse engineering, medical imaging, archeology, art digitalization, computer animation, prototyping, and anthropology to name a few. In addition, Artec Inc has a whole division dedicated to biometric security and 3D face recognition technology. The biometric security market calls for new generation solutions that would provide better recognition accuracy, convenience-in-use and spoof-protection. Artec Group introduced a novel 3D human recognition technology that addresses these market needs. One more branch of Artec Group Inc activity is related to 3D software development. Programs created by Artec developers (Artec Studio, ViewShape etc) can be used as with the hardware of the company as separately.
