High-resolution 3D scanner using 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 the 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.
Artec Space Spider
Designed specifically for CAD users, perfect for reverse engineering, product design, quality control and mass production.

For capturing larger objects, or for creating an automatic scanning system, several 3D scanners can be bundled and synced together.
Artec Space Spider Features
Long-term repeatability in data capture
Originally developed to spec for the International Space Station, this next generation industrial 3D scanner features powerful temperature stabilization and high grade electronics. This not only allows the scanner to reach maximum accuracy in three minutes but also ensures long-term repeatability in data capture, since the accuracy rate of the device is not affected by fluctuations in environmental conditions.
Powerful hybrid geometry and texture tracking and capture
The Space Spider is able to read both the geometry and color of the object being 3D scanned. As a result, it collects two sets of data by which to track and perform data processing.
