Artec Space Spider

3D Scanner for CAD Users and Engineers

What is the Artec Space Spider?

Artec Space Spider is a hand-held 3D scanner designed specifically for CAD users and perfect for reverse engineering, product design, quality control and mass production. Together with Artec Studio software, it is a powerful, desktop tool for designers, engineers and inventors of every kind.

How does it work?

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 colour.

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.

Battery compatible

Portable

Connect the lightweight, 0.85kg 3D scanner to a battery pack, provides up to 6 hours of power.

Safe to use

Bluelight

The blue structured light technology used is absolutely safe for scanning people, as well as inanimate objects.

Point & Shoot

Simple

No need for preparation, just plug in the scanner and point it around the item as you would with a video camera.

Custom Bundles

Expandable

For capturing larger objects, or for creating an automatic scanning system, several 3D scanners can be bundled and synced together.
