Description
Artec Space Spider 3D Scanner
A new and enhanced precision instrument for CAD users and engineers, Artec Space Spider is a high-resolution 3D scanner based on blue light technology. It is perfect for capturing small objects or intricate details of large industrial objects in high resolution, with steadfast accuracy and brilliant color.
The scanner’s ability to render complex geometry, sharp edges and thin ribs sets our technology apart. It is an ideal industrial 3D scanner for high resolution capturing of objects such as molding parts, PCBs, keys, coins or even a human ear, followed by the export of the final 3D model to CAD software.
In this powerful 3D scanner, the technology has been honed to perfection to ensure the best possible quality of scans and a truly robust device.
The Artec Space Spider is an industrial 3D scanner designed for scanning small objects with high accuracy. This makes it useful for product design, quality control and reverse engineering applications. The temperature stabilization and industrial grade electronics provide long term repeatability. It is fully portable and lightweight, with USB connectivity making it compatible with tablets and laptops, and an optional battery pack for full mobility.
Speed
Capturing 1 million data points a second the Artec Space Spider is capable of scanning small objects with high detail quickly.
Enhanced Accuracy System
Scan points up to 100 microns apart with an accuracy of up to 50 microns to capture intricate details and fine features.
Portability
With only two cables and weighing only 850g, the Space Spider is lightweight and can be moved around freely. The optional battery pack offers full portability.
Strength in Versatility
Due to it’s small size and compact design, the Space Spider can be used for all different kinds of objects, specializing in those on the smaller side.
Long Term Repeatability
Originally developed for the International Space Station, Space Spider features powerful temperature stabilization and high-grade electronics, which allows it to achieve accurate and long-term predictable results in different environmental conditions.
Exceptional Color Capture for CGI, AR, and VR
With up to 1.3-megapixel texture resolution and advanced automatic software tools, including enhanced color reproduction and auto glare removal, Space Spider is the perfect choice for creating vivid color 3D assets ready for movies, games, VR, and AR applications.
Easily Paired with All Artec Scanners
Space Spider can be paired with any scanner in the Artec family. Combine it with Eva, Leo, or Ray to scan very small, intricate details of medium to large surface areas.
