MicroSD Memory Card

To transfer you projects to a computer, you may want to use a microSD card. Artec Leo supports microSD cards (both SDHC and SDXC) with capacity up to 2 TB featuring UHS-I and UHS-II interfaces and formatted as exFaT.

Insert Card

To insert a microSD card, push it into the slot until you hear a click.

Caution

Never use excessive force when inserting a microSD card into the slot. If you feel resistance, please double check that you are pushing the card using the correct side (see the figure above).

Important

The warranty doesn’t cover slots damaged in this way.

Export to Multiple Cards

Artec Leo enables you to export projects to multiple microSD cards. This is particularly time saving when you want to transfer multiple or large scans, and you do not have a microSD card with that much storage capacity. After inserting one card, you can select all the items at once and tap Copy to SD. When the microSD card is full, Leo prompts you to remove the card and insert a new one, and automatically continues copying the remaining items to the new card.

Encrypt Projects to Export

To ensure security of HD scan data, Leo enables you to encrypt your projects before exporting them to the external SD. To do so, turn on the Encrypt projects (AS16+) feature in Settings. After selecting projects, when you tap Copy to SD, Leo converts those projects into a new .leo format before exporting them to SD.

Note

The encrypted projects in .leo format are only compatible with Artec Studio version 16 and above.

Remove Card

To remove a microSD card:

  1. Slightly push a microSD card until you hear a click. The card will pop up emerging half of its length.

  2. Pull the card out of the slot.

Format

To format a microSD card,

  1. Tap Settings.

  2. Select Scanner → General → SD card.

  3. Tap Format.

  4. In the dialog that has opened, confirm your choice.

External Display

Artec Leo allows to cast its screen to a browser. It means that you can have an additional display to observe a 3D scene. Another device needs to be connected to the same network as Leo scanner.

Note

Only screens with 3D content can be casted. To enable casting, you need to start scanning or open a project.

To cast your Leo screen, follow the steps:

  1. In the Projects screen, tap Settings.

  2. Select the Network section.

  3. Turn on the Cast screen to browser toggle.

  4. Locate the scanner’s IP address that appears near the toggle.

  5. Open a web browser on another device.

  6. Type in the Leo’s IP address and confirm your entry.

  7. On Leo, start scanning or open a project.
