For small coins to large engines — leave no spot unscanned

The Artec Spider II expands upon the key draw of the original to provide an excellent scanning experience. With a new set of hardware effortlessly scan with improved reliability in tracking, precession for features, and a wider field of view for new applications. 

Boasting a max resolution of 0.05mm allows for small texts and features to come through clearly even on larger scans. New blue-light technology helps maintain feature clarity on traditionally difficult surfaces such as black and shiny. And the robust camera system allows for faster scanning speed and higher texture resolution, making realistic meshes full of rich color faster than ever before. 

With Artec Studio and the Spider II unlock a new world of 3D scanning and produce the best results possible for your application. 

Handheld, targetless, and color- rich 3D scanning

Key Features & Benefits

0.05mm Feature Resolution

Doubling the resolution of the original Space Spider see tiny features, markings, and text clearly on small to medium sized objects.  

Blue-Light Technology

Using Blue-Light Technology the Spider II can scan difficult surfaces with minimal noise while improving the quality of edges.

Larger Field of View and Speed

A 171 x 152mm scanning field of view and 15 FPS scanning speed allow for quick capture of large sized objects as well as small parts. 

Comprehensive Scanning Capabilities

Enable the reproduction of objects, designing around them and creating digital twins for CAD planning, installations and retrofits.

Improved Accuracy and Scanning Depth

With the improved technology and cameras of the scanner, the Spider II can scan deeper into pockets and with a higher degree of accuracy, mapping locations of features while still being portable.  

Combine with other Artec Scanners

Using Artec Studio, the data from the Spider II can be combined with other Artec scanners such as the LEO or Ray II – giving you the best of both worlds with larger object scanning with detailed features.

Unmatched Training

Every company is different, and when it comes to training for 3D scanning, one size doesn’t fit all. Hawk Ridge Systems can tailor a training plan to focus on the needs of your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

How small or large of a part can I scan with the Spider II?

The scanner is capable of scanning coins with up to 0.05mm resolution. There isn’t a hard-size limit to the scanner, and it depends on the objects complexity in geometry and color. Generally ,the scanner works best for objects 1-3 feet in size, but objects can be scanned in sections and aligned after. 

Can color be applied to the mesh made using the scanner?

Yes, the scanner captures color using its 5MP cameras during the scanning process and can be projected onto the created mesh file. Or, using a DSLR camera, photo texturing is possible by importing in photos taken during the scanning process.

Can I use targets with the scanner for improved accuracy?

Targets aren’t necessary but any additional features (shape and color) can help with maintaining tracking for the scanner. There is also the Artec Metrology kit that can be used to create photogrammetry target grids to assist with scanner accuracy.

What are the minimum computer hardware specs needed for this scanner?

It’s recommended to have a minimum of 32GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GPU card with 8 CUDA, and an i7 processor or better. More RAM, a modern GPU, and processor will improve scan processing times. 

Can it scan shiny, dark, or translucent parts?

These surfaces are considered difficult to scan with light-based scanners – but the Blue-Light technology allows easier scanning of these surfaces To avoid noise and tracking issues, you can use scanning spray or other material to add opaqueness to the object.
