FAQ
-
How is the Spider II different from the Space Spider?
While the Artec Space Spider delivers exceptional results in incredible detail, the Spider II takes things a step further with twice the resolution, four times the speed, and smarter algorithms.
-
What size objects can I scan with Spider II?
While that depends on your time and desired outcome, we recommend using Spider II for items as small as a coin to larger parts such as an engine, machinery, or medical equipment.
-
With so much data captured, will transfer and processing be slow?
We’ve considered that! Because you’re catching large amounts of data fast, the transfer speed needs to match that. Spider II comes with Thunderbolt interface, and new algorithms to ensure you’re working at speed.
-
Can I use Spider II with other scanners?
Of course! All Artec 3D scanners are designed to complement each other. Whether you’re using handheld, long-range, or desktop scanners, all data can be merged and processed in Artec Studio software.
