What's new in this version:

Artec Studio 20.0.4.362
New: Workflows for fast, repeatable results:
Create custom workflows:
- Better meet your specific needs, with tailored workflows that accelerate 3D model processing, and slot seamlessly into existing setups

Automate repeat tasks:
- Line up algorithms to run in sequence, so you don’t have to configure parameters each time, or wait at your PC

Easily share workflows:
- Send your workflows to colleagues or clients and achieve uniform, high-quality results, regardless of user experience

Utilize command prompts:
- Automate even further – Artec Studio 20 now supports scripting for autonomous file-to-model workflows

Spider II made smarter, faster, more powerful:
- Upgrade for access to breakthrough features like Live Scan Decimation, Autopilot, and Variable Gain, which optimize and streamline Spider II 3D scanning

Reduced noise:
- Thanks to enhancements inside Artec Studio, Spider II now captures less noisy scan data, so you can spend less time in post-processing

Variable Gain:
- Achieve the best possible results when capturing tricky-to-scan surfaces without having to dive into the settings and tinker with gain parameters

Live Scan Decimation:
- Filtering out unneeded frames with live scan decimation makes life easier for users, allowing for faster data processing and easier export to third-party software

Capture ultra-high resolution, full-coverage scans with Micro II:
- HD Mode for Micro II allows for even more detailed 3D scans, while 3-axis support makes it easier to capture intricate geometries in full

Micro II gets HD Mode:
- Activate Micro II’s new HD Mode to boost the number of points captured per frame for improved fine details, sharp edge capture, and overall resolution
