Overview

THE POWER OF LONG-RANGE 3D SCANNING

Artec Ray II is designed for capturing large to massive objects, spaces, and environments quickly and accurately.

From aircraft and wind turbines to bridges, factory floors, forensic scenes, and archaeological sites, Ray II delivers high-quality 3D data without the complexity of traditional large-scale scanning workflows.

LIGHTNING-FAST SCANNING

Capture up to 2 million points per second, with a full dome captured at the highest 3 mm resolution in just 1 minute 42 seconds.

METROLOGY-GRADE PRECISION

Achieve 1.9 mm 3D point accuracy at 10 meters, with highly accurate angular and range measurements.

LONG-RANGE CAPTURE

Capture objects and environments from 0.5 to 130 meters, giving you the flexibility to scan massive spaces from a safe and practical distance.

WIRELESS & PORTABLE

With onboard controls, remote operation, and a lightweight 5 kg setup including tripod, Ray II can be deployed wherever your project takes you.

LIGHTNING-FAST SCANNING. UNCOMPROMISED ACCURACY.

Ray II captures data at up to 2 million points per second, allowing large objects and environments to be digitized in remarkably short periods.

At 3 mm resolution, a full dome can be captured in just 1 minute 42 seconds without texture or 2 minutes 42 seconds with texture.
