Applications
Reverse engineering small objects
If you have a small or tiny part that is a legacy piece with no ready-made replacement, or requires any modification, Micro II has you sorted. Reverse engineer exactly what you need, right on your desktop.
Quality inspection
Whatever industry you work in, QI is likely an important part of your process. Let Micro II do the heavy lifting when scanning objects for quality control, with assurance of extremely high accuracy in every detail you capture.
Forensics
When working in a crime scene or capturing data from evidence, accuracy is as essential as speed is. With Micro II, you’ll be able to quickly digitize essential pieces of evidence such as bullets or pieces of debris for documentation, analysis, or presenting in court.
Archeology & paleontology
The Micro II allows you to quickly and easily digitize specific pieces or entire collections, in high accuracy and great detail, to create the 3D models you need for preservation, research, digitization, and restoration.
Design
Whether you need to digitize something you created, capture a part for inclusion in a larger design, or focus on fine details, Micro II has you covered when scanning small objects, and at lightning speed and utmost precision.
Dentistry
When it comes to applications that require as much care or customization as dentistry, leave nothing to chance – Micro II is designed to ensure every part of your product is precisely what you need it to be.
FAQ
-
Does Artec Micro II have a fully automatic mode?
Yes. You can choose the automatic scanning path in the software settings before starting a scan, and let the scanner choose the optimal trajectory and number of frames needed to fully capture the object.
-
What is the size limit of objects that can be scanned with Micro II?
We recommend scanning objects that are up to 200 × 200 × 150 mm and 2 kg (4.4 lb) in size. Examples of objects suitable for scanning with the Micro II are engine valves, electrical connectors, watch gears and parts, etc.
-
What are the best applications for Artec Micro II?
Artec Micro II is the best 3D scanner for reverse engineering, quality control, inspection, dentistry, design, and any other area where you need a 3D scanner for small objects with ultra-high accuracy.
-
What are the repeatability results for separate scans of the same object?
Repeatability is a key characteristic for inspection, and the Micro II provides excellent results in this area. While factors such as material and surface finish of the object may slightly affect noise levels, the Micro II generally provides 2-micron repeatability.
