Artec Space Spider Handheld 3D Scanner

The Artec Space Spider is a high resolution blue light handheld 3D scanner from Artec 3D built for capturing small objects and fine details with metrology level accuracy. Developed with the International Space Station in mind it is designed for stable repeatable results across a wide range of conditions. It suits CAD users and engineers who need detailed color textured models for reverse engineering quality control, heritage work, and more.

Key Features

High accuracy and resolution: 3D point accuracy up to 0.05 mm, 3D resolution up to 0.1 mm, and accuracy over distance of up to 0.03% over 100 cm
Blue LED structured light: safe, laser free technology that captures intricate surfaces, sharp edges, and thin ribs
Fast capture: up to 7.5 frames per second with scanning speed of up to 1,000,000 points per second and an exposure time of 0.0002 s
Real-time fusion: frames are aligned automatically as you scan so you see the model build up on screen
Color texture capture: 1.3 MP texture resolution at 24 bits per pixel for realistic full color models
No targets required: scan without sticking markers on the object though targets can be used where helpful
Designed for small objects: working range of 0.2 to 0.3 m with a 30 × 21° field of view which makes it most efficient on objects smaller than about 2 feet although larger objects can be scanned in sections
Temperature stabilization: the scanner keeps its optics at a stable 36.6 °C with a faster warm up period, giving long term repeatability in changing environments
Compact and light: about 0.85 kg and 190 × 140 × 130 mm, with a USB 2.0 interface (USB 3.0 compatible)
Artec Studio software: data processing, measurement, and editing tools and the ability to combine data from different Artec scanners
Wide export support: OBJ, PLY, WRL, STL, AOP, ASCII, PTX, E57, XYZRGB, and more for use in CAD and other software
Scanning SDK: lets you integrate the scanner into your own customized scanning system

Typical Applications

Reverse engineering and rapid prototyping
Quality control and inspection of small parts
Automotive and aerospace components
Medical and healthcare, including prosthetics and orthotics
Heritage preservation, archaeology, and forensics
Graphic design, games, and education
