Artec Spider II
Ultra-High Resolution 3D Scanning for Intricate Geometries
Unrivaled Sub-Millimeter Detail Without the Targets
The Artec Spider II represents a massive evolutionary leap for high-precision, close-range 3D scanning. Acting as the next-generation successor to the industry-classic Space Spider, this handheld system is engineered specifically to digitize intricate geometric features, sharp edges, and microscopic surface details down to an incredible 0.05 mm resolution. Unlike traditional metrology tools that demand tedious preparation, the Spider II operates completely target-free. It relies on a blend of advanced geometry and high-fidelity texture tracking to stay perfectly localized.
With native integration into Artec Studio, it delivers clean, true-to-life 3D meshes, and full-color texture data perfectly suited for demanding engineering tasks like reverse engineering, product design, and micro-inspection workflows.
Features
Sub-Millimeter 0.05 mm Resolution
Effortlessly digitizes ultra-fine lines, razor-sharp edges and tiny physical characteristics with 0.05 mm accuracy for pristine geometric fidelity.
Target-free Setup & Wider FOV
Eliminates the bottleneck of applying and removing tracking stickers. Combined with an expanded 171 x 152 mm field of view, it speeds up data capture while minimizing human error.
High Fidelity 5 MP Color Capture
Built-in 5-megapixel cameras map rich, 24-bit color palettes directly onto the 3D geometry, producing highly realistic digital twins optimized for CGI, archival preservation, or forensic analysis.

Software
Artec Studio
From Raw Scan To CAD
Artec Studio is the advanced software engine that transforms raw data into production-ready 3D models. It simplifies data processing with an automated Autopilot mode for quick, guided workflows, while leveraging a powerful AI-driven HD Mode to eliminate scan noise, resolve sharp edges, and dramatically enhance mesh resolution across supported hardware. Beyond simply processing meshes, the software features built-in Scan-to-CAD tools for fitting geometric primitives, basic metrology for full-color deviation heat mapping, and seamless direct exports to industry-standard engineering platforms like SOLIDWORKS, and Geomagic Design X, effectively bridging the gap between your physical object and an editable CAD environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Since it is fully integrated into the Artec Studio ecosystem, multi-scanner workflows are seamless. A popular technique involves usiong the tetherless Artec Leo to map a large object quickly (like an entire vehicle frame), then using the ultra-high resolution Spider II to capture specific, highly detailed areas of interest (like complex gear configurations or vin engravings) and merging them into a single, cohesive mesh.
