Artec Spider II Features
Designed specifically for CAD users, perfect for reverse engineering, product design, quality control and mass production.
Fast Scanning Speed at 30 fps
A fast capture rate plus no targets needed means scanning is effortless and intuitive – all while ensuring no detail is missed.
High Point Accuracy at 0.05 mm
Make extremely accurate 3D models of small industrial objects or sections of larger objects in fine detail. With a larger 171 × 152 mm field of view, Spider II allows you to scan faster, easier, and with less risk of human error.
Texture Resolution to 0.05 mm
Scan deeper and in more detail with Spider II – even deep holes and sharp edges are easily transformed into highly accurate data.
Contact & Target-free scanning
Forget spending extra effort and resources applying 3D scanning targets – Spider II simplifies the scanning process and reduces setup time while delivering excellent results more efficiently.
Target-free scanning lets you scan with zero contact, ensuring medical settings remain uncontaminated, forensic scenes remain untouched, and restricted areas where targets are prohibited remain accessible.
Capture in realistic colour
The Artec Spider II doesn’t just capture in high accuracy, it’s paying attention to texture, too.
Artec scanners are designed to help you capture all surfaces – even those that are notoriously difficult to capture.
Powerful Software
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.
Artec Studio releases a new software version every year, so you can enjoy cutting-edge new features that simplify, advance, and renew your workflow, keeping your scanner ahead of the curve, year after year.
Unparalleled level of detail
The Spider II uses blue-light technology, combining precise geometric accuracy and color to deliver 3D models unmatched by anything currently on the market.
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.
Artec scanners are designed to help you capture all surfaces – even those that are notoriously difficult to capture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Spider II different from the Artec 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, four times 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.
