Artec Spider Surface Scanner

The Artec Spider is a high-resolution 3D surface scanner designed for capturing intricate details of small to medium-sized objects with exceptional accuracy. Using structured light technology, it creates precise, full-colour 3D models with a resolution of up to 0.1 mm and a point accuracy of up to 0.05 mm. In research, the Artec Spider is ideal for documenting and analyzing complex surface geometries—such as fossils, biological specimens, archaeological artefacts, or engineered components—without physical contact. Its data can be used for morphometric studies, digital archiving, 3D printing, and creating interactive models for publication or public engagement.
