Our Top Three Scanners from Artec 3D
See below for a closer insight into Artec’s three unrivalled handheld 3D scanners.
1. Artec Space Spider
The Artec Space Spider is our first of the best handheld 3d scanners. It is ideal for smaller objects such as circuit boards, machinery parts, fasteners, bones and bolts. This impeccable handheld machine is even compatible with articles of 5mm and upwards that possess complex geometries.
Designed to work on the International Space Station, Artec ensured this handheld scanner contains only the finest electronics to suit a range of needs. This meticulously designed scanner captures objects with unmatched accuracy of up to 0.05mm and 0.1mm resolution, allowing the Space Spider to capture even the smallest details.
2. Artec Eva
Secondly, the Artec Eva deserves a place among the best handheld 3D scanners to exist. The Eva model is perfect for components starting from 10cm, such as castings, alloy wheels, furniture, statues, gearboxes, construction equipment – even US presidents! Similarly to the Space Spider, Eva uses structured-light technology to capture 3D data.
Eva also maintains excellence in the accuracy of up to 0.1mm, 16 fps and a significant resolution of 1.3 Mpx. To set this model apart from the others, the capture zone for Artec’s Eva is 61,000 cm³, which is a whopping 30X greater than the Space Spider. Therefore, bigger objects can be captured with fantastic clear and sharp detail.
If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly variation of the Eva, the Artec Eva Lite offers impressive results at a more affordable price point to get you started. Similar spec to the Eva but without the ability to capture colour and texture and utilise texture alignment.
3. Artec Leo
Last but not least, the Artec Leo is one of our flagship handheld 3D scanners, that achieves precision on medium to large objects. From as small as 10cm, the Leo is compatible with components such as room interiors, ship propellers, vehicle interiors and small boats. The Artec Leo, thrives on complexity and ease of use being wireless and having its own in-built display.
Results are colourful, quick and immaculate in presentation. As the world’s first fully mobile handheld scanner with automatic processing and an advanced touchscreen, the Artec Leo is both intuitive and effortless to use. Putting it into perspective, the capture zone reaches 160,000 cm³, an outstanding 3X bigger than Eva’s range. Even the biggest of objects can be scanned at an accuracy of up to 0.1mm.
