Accuracy figures are manufacturer "up to" specifications measured under ideal scanning conditions (per-device datasheets); real-world results vary with part geometry, surface finish, lighting, and operator technique. Metrology Kit rows show volumetric accuracy combined with a 3D scanner per the Artec Metrology Kit datasheet. Artec Neo's "With Targets" row reflects its published accuracy when scanning with photogrammetric targets, per the Artec Neo datasheet.
