Request a quote and our sales representative will get back to you on any special discounts and promotions that may be available for this 3D scanner.
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 the Artec Micro II 3D scanner?
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 are engine valves, electrical connectors, watch gears and parts, jewelry, etc.
What are the best applications for Artec Micro scanner?
Artec Micro is the best 3D scanner for reverse engineering, quality control, inspection, dentistry, jewelry, 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.
