The Shapify Booth is an automatic 3D full body scanning booth unveiled in 2014 that contains four of Artec's handheld scanners and a stationary platform. Remote allows the user to make previews, select one or multiple scan areas, scan, and save the data directly to an SD card, as well as change scan settings and check battery and scanner status. It's also possible to control Ray from a distance via an iPhone or iPad with the Artec Remote app (Wifi). Scans can also be exported to Geomagic Design X for additional processing options. Scans are made directly in Artec Studio software, which offers a full range of post-processing tools. Color is provided via two fully integrated 5 megapixel cameras. This compact (under 5 kg) LIDAR solution is mobile, with the internal battery giving users up to 4 hours of onsite scanning. Artec Ray is suitable for reverse engineering and inspection applications, as well as historical preservation, both indoors and outdoors. Released in 2018, Ray produces scans with submillimeter accuracy (up to 0.7 mm) and minimum of noise, requiring significantly reduced post-processing times.
Ray is a portable 3D laser scanner designed for capturing large objects and areas in detail, from up to 110 meters away. The scanner requires a warm up period of three minutes to achieve maximum accuracy and is able to guarantee this precision even after several hours of constant use. The device was initially developed for use on the International Space Station and incorporates an advanced temperature control system to prevent overheating, a common issue for electronics in space. It operates at distances between 170 mm and 350 mm from an object. The Space Spider utilizes a blue LED light source and has a 3D resolution of up to 0.1 mm with 0.05 mm accuracy. Space Spider is a 3D handheld, color scanner released in 2015. Resulting scans can be exported into a number of file formats, including OBJ and STL. It requires a 30-minute warm up period to achieve maximum accuracy.
Spider does not require markers or manual alignment during post-processing. The device has a 3D resolution of as high as 0.1 mm and a point accuracy up to 0.05mm. Spider is a 3D handheld, color scanner, released in 2013, designed to capture smaller, complex objects with high resolution and accuracy. Eva does not require a warm up period and can be used immediately upon powering on. Data can be exported as OBJ, PLY, WRL, STL, AOP, ASCII, PTX, E57, or XYZRGB files types. Eva can operate at distances between 0.4 m and 1 m from the object, capturing up to 16 frames per second. The device has a scan area of 214 x 148 mm at its closest range and 536 x 371 mm at its furthest, a 3D resolution of up to 0.5 mm and a 3D point accuracy of 0.1 mm.
The scanner was designed for the capture of medium to large objects. Hardware EvaĮva is a handheld, color scanner, released in 2012, that can capture and process up to two million points per second. The choice of light does not impact the processes or concepts behind the technology. Light scanners can utilize either blue light or white light, which is what Artec's scanners use. The three-dimensional coordinates obtained are used to digitally reconstruction the real-world object. By projecting a grid pattern on the object, the scanners are able to capture the deformation or distortion from multiple angles and then calculate the distance to specific points on the object using triangulation. They operate by projecting light in a pattern, usually in the form of multiple parallel beams, onto an object. Artec's 3D scanners are structured light scanners. 3D scanners capture the geometry of an object and produce a three-dimensional digital model.
