Object size S → M

Such high detail is no longer reserved for tiny parts – everything from small change to parts as large as a car engine are perfectly recreated digitally.

Black & shiny surfaces

Artec scanners are designed to help you capture all surfaces – even those that are notoriously difficult to capture.

Capture complex geometry

Scan deeper and in more detail with Spider II – even deep holes and sharp edges are easily transformed into highly accurate data.

Easy integration

The advanced Spider II is perfectly compatible with all other Artec scanners, bringing its features and capabilities to the Artec ecosystem, and making work with different scanners for different object sizes, hassle free.

Temperature stabilization

Your Spider II quickly reaches an optimal temperature, to provide precise results regardless of the surrounding conditions, ensuring accurate measurements and long-term repeatability.

Safe scanning

Safe for eyes, easy on parts, and completely contact free, the Spider II can be used to capture any object, whether they be body parts, for medical applications, forensic use, and more.

Powerful software

Choose Autopilot, or build your own workflow

Professional Artec Studio software handles all the data you capture with ease, letting you choose between automated processing for greater convenience, or the ability to set your own parameters for more advanced users.

FAQ

How is the Spider II different from the Space Spider?

While the Artec Space Spider delivers exceptional results in incredible detail, the Spider II takes things a step further with twice the resolution, twice the speed, and smarter algorithms.

What size objects can I scan with Spider II?

While that depends on your time and desired outcome, we recommend using Spider II for items as small as a coin to larger parts such as an engine, machinery, or medical equipment.

With so much data captured, will transfer and processing be slow?

We’ve considered that! Because you’re catching large amounts of data fast, the transfer speed needs to match that. Spider II comes with Thunderbolt interface, and new algorithms to ensure you’re working at speed.

Can I use Spider II with other scanners?

Of course! All Artec 3D scanners are designed to complement each other. Whether you’re using handheld, long-range, or desktop scanners, all data can be merged and processed in Artec Studio software.
