bestat and Artec 3D: Pioneering 3D Technology in Industry

In a strategic move to boost the application of 3D technology in manufacturing and civil engineering, two industry leaders, bestat Inc. and Artec 3D Japan LLC, have officially announced a collaboration. Based in Minato, Tokyo, bestat is an AI startup specializing in 3D data while Artec 3D is renowned for its high-precision 3D scanning solutions for professionals. Together, they are set to tackle the fragmented management of spatial information that often occurs at manufacturing and construction sites, utilizing their combined expertise to better integrate 3D data into daily operations.

The Challenge in the Industry

For years, the manufacturing and civil engineering sectors have faced significant hurdles when it comes to the digitalization of their processes. Often, spatial information such as design plans, construction records, and inspection data remain siloed among various departments and workflows. This disjointed management can severely limit the efficiency and effectiveness of data utilization on the ground.

To address this challenge, bestat has developed a platform called “3D.Core,” which employs AI to process and organize 3D scanning data and point cloud data, making it accessible to broader audiences within these fields. Conversely, Artec 3D stands as a global leader in high-precision scanning devices, including portable 3D scanners that have been successfully integrated into numerous manufacturing and engineering scenarios around the world.

The collaboration between bestat and Artec 3D aims to integrate Artec's advanced hardware for high-precision data acquisition with bestat’s comprehensive platform, “3D.Core,” facilitating a seamless workflow from scanning in the field to data utilization.

Upcoming Collaborative Seminar

As a part of this initiative, the duo will host a free online seminar on September 17, 2026, to further discuss and demonstrate the practical applications of their collaboration. Titled “Streamlining 3D Data Acquisition for Factories and Large-Scale Equipment – Combining Artec Jet and 3D.Core for Effective Data Utilization,” the seminar promises to address the growing commercial need for 3D digitization in aging infrastructure, alongside the operational challenges that professionals currently face.

During the seminar, attendees can expect to see live demonstrations of the SLAM LiDAR scanner “Artec Jet,” which allows for rapid and precise measurements, and how these can be facilitated by the 3D.Core platform for easy visualization and utilization of acquired point cloud data. Participants will learn how these technologies can create a more efficient approach to data handling, working towards solutions for challenges like complex measurements, cumbersome data, and the overall usability of scanned data in corporate environments.

Join the Movement

This collaboration aims not only to enhance the use of 3D technology in manufacturing and civil engineering but also to educate industry professionals. Both companies have committed to continuing their efforts through additional seminars and exhibitions, sharing knowledge and best practices related to 3D technology in real-world applications.

About 3D.Core

Developed by bestat, based on research from the Matsuo Laboratory at the University of Tokyo, the “3D.Core” platform is designed specifically for industrial applications. It meticulously transforms various forms of data—images, videos, point clouds, and 360-degree visuals—into high-precision 3D representations, supporting every step from data acquisition to processing and utilization. This makes “3D.Core” especially beneficial for constructing digital twins, enhancing production techniques, and evaluating layout designs, thereby bridging the gap between real-world and digital data.
