How Artec 3D is actively supporting Ukraine

From the very beginning of the war in Ukraine, Artec 3D has focused its global operations on helping to support the people of Ukraine, to meet their immediate and most urgent needs.

Continuous humanitarian aid to Ukraine

Even if the war were to suddenly stop today, millions of people have been uprooted from their homes, with their cities and neighborhoods in ruins. Help in the form of first aid, medicines, shelter, food, and clothing is desperately needed. As such, with corporate headquarters in Luxembourg, Artec 3D reached out to the local Ukrainian humanitarian charity LUkraine to establish a partnership and set up a direct channel to provide these essentials on an ongoing basis.

Artec 3D stands with LUkraine in their latest effort: the Ukraine is Calling initiative. Through this international campaign, enough funding has been raised to send more than 100 emergency vehicles to Ukraine. Organized to lessen the hardships suffered by those at the forefront of the crisis, Artec 3D was among the first in Luxembourg to offer their support.

At a ceremony held in November 2025, Artec 3D was invited to commemorate an ambulance (the project’s 112th) being deployed to Ukraine. Sadly, such vehicles only last an average of 2-3 weeks before being destroyed in attacks. Artec continues to work closely with LUkraine on finding new ways to help Ukraine.

Another area where the company collaborates with LUkraine, is on its Water to Every Home project – which is committed to providing Ukrainians with access to drinking water by drilling wells in the areas where water is most needed. Artec 3D has donated €40,000 for well drilling, this well supplies water to 3,000 local residents.

At the outbreak of war, Artec also made €50,000 in donations to LUkraine, put in place a match-and-double donation system with all of its employees, and began donating 1% from every worldwide sale of its award-winning 3D scanner, Artec Leo.

Artec 3D scanners for Ukraine

As a dedicated Artec Gold Certified partner for the past 15 years, KODA Ltd. has been instrumental throughout Artec’s months of efforts to reach out to specialists and officials across multiple regions and industries in Ukraine, to provide our scanners, software, and expertise in the very areas where they will help bring the most positive change.

With an experienced team of specialists focused on all aspects of 3D scanning in healthcare, heritage preservation, reverse engineering, and beyond, KODA Ltd. has continued working with clients across Ukraine throughout the war, despite having to evacuate their main office in Kharkiv, which was under threat of bombing, and relocate to the west of Ukraine, in Khmelnitsky.

High-tech computers for Ukraine

Following a donation of 30 Artec Leo scanners by the Luxembourgish Ministry of Defense, Artec 3D has donated computers, monitors, and more vital equipment to create what will be known as the Computer Center of KNDISE, the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise.

Alongside the scanners, this powerful hardware will cater to fundamental research needs of various laboratories within the institute, and help document and investigate war crimes.

Digitally preserving Ukraine’s priceless cultural heritage

Ever since war erupted in their country, Artec’s Ukrainian clients and partners such as KODA Ltd. and Skeiron have been racing to digitally capture and preserve more than a millennium of irreplaceable cultural heritage by using the professional 3D scanner Artec Leo.

The submillimeter-precise, color 3D scans of paintings, sculptures, churches, monuments, and more, are being safely archived far from the front lines.

In the unthinkable event that the originals are ever damaged or destroyed, the 3D scans made by Artec scanners will serve as flawless reference models for repairs or reconstruction, via 3D printing or traditional methods.

Beyond this, Ukrainian museums and art curators are also exploring the deployment of such 3D models on various online platforms, so these unique objects can be visited and explored from anywhere around the world, by educators, students, researchers, and others.

Along with experts and volunteers working to protect Ukraine’s art, architecture, museums, monuments, churches, and heritage, Artec 3D is fully supporting our Ukrainian partners KODA Ltd. and Skeiron in capturing and archiving what’s vulnerable.

In an interview with BBC Click at the British Museum, Artec 3D CEO Art Yukhin emphasized the importance of preserving the unique legacy all around the country. Find out more about the interview here.

#SaveUkrainianHeritage

After launching #SaveUkrainianHeritage to save architectural monuments at risk, Skeiron, with the support of Artec 3D, initiated “Museum in 3D.” Now featured on Google Arts and Culture, the ongoing project boasts more than 200 museum artifacts scanned with Artec Leo, which can all be accessed and viewed online.

Documenting evidence of war crimes in Ukraine

With each passing day in Ukraine, more and more evidence of war crimes is becoming contaminated, destroyed, and lost forever. As cities, towns, and villages are liberated and secured, it’s paramount that this evidence is documented in all its integrity and authenticity, while it still exists.

Via its Ukrainian partner KODA Ltd., Artec has made available its easy-to-use 3D scanner Artec Leo to Ukrainian forensics specialists. So, now entire war crime scenes and all the evidence within can be digitally documented and preserved just minutes after visiting a location. Everything from bloodstains and bullet holes to blast marks and bomb craters can be easily captured, exactly as it was found, including the surrounding scene.

From there, the lifelike 3D scans can be shared with investigators near or far, including those at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The resulting 3D models can be used for crime scene reconstruction and establishing defendable interpretations, that same day or years later, as well as for autopsy documentation, virtual reality (VR) presentations to juries in court, 3D-printed evidence, and more.

Creating custom orthotic & prosthetic devices for Ukrainian war victims

Apart from the thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and civilians killed, countless men, women, and children of Ukraine have lost one or several limbs to the bloodshed. Coming to terms with these life-shattering injuries is and will be an uphill battle for them, both physically and psychologically. Helping these people regain a sense of control, mobility, and independence as quickly as possible is crucial.

To help with this immense task, Artec has been providing its 3D scanners, including Artec Leo, Eva, and Space Spider, via its local partner KODA Ltd., to Ukrainian researchers and prosthetics specialists working in cities as well as near the front lines. Unlike the widespread prosthetics method of plaster casting, 3D scanning doesn’t require any physical contact with a patient, isn’t messy or wasteful, and requires just seconds to capture every millimeter of a patient’s residual limb.

Minutes later, Ukrainian hospitals, rural clinics, and medical specialists can send the 3D models made from these scans to a medical equipment provider for fabrication of prosthetic sockets and other devices such as orthoses. Or, if they have the expertise as well as a suitable 3D printer, they can 3D print them on their own.

In this way, now it’s possible for Ukrainian amputees to have custom-fitting prosthetic devices available days later, not weeks, as was previously the case.
