New Artec Spider II Handheld 3D Scanner

Artec 3D recently announced the Spider II, a new target-free handheld 3D scanner capable of capturing intricate details in ultra-high resolution and full color. From small objects to large industrial parts, the Spider II produces impressive results, offering twice the resolution, 4x the speed, and smarter algorithms than its predecessor.

Like the original Space Spider (released in 2015), the Spider II is a wired 3D scanner. But, compared with the original USB 2.0 cable, the II's new Thunderbolt 3 connection presents a major speed improvement, resulting in faster scanning (15fps vs 7.5) and a smoother scanning process.

The Artec Spider II has double the mesh resolution; 0.05mm vs the previous 0.1 mm, allowing much smaller part features to be scanned. It uses structured light technology, combining ultra-high resolution and full-color capture to deliver 3D models.

The Artec Spider II provides easy setup, color capture, and scanning without the need for targets. From digitizing museum artifacts to forensics, to scanning smaller parts for inspection and reverse engineering. Especially in applications where adhesive target use is non-viable, having a reliable, high-quality scanner like the Spider II is invaluable.

With the announcement of the new Spider II, Artec has also announced the arrival of Artec Studio 19. Studio 18 was packed with quality features, and Artec Studio 19 promises to be another step forward for Artec 3D. Stay tuned for more details!
