Chassis beams are scanned to reverse engineer laser-cut reinforcement plates. A whole beam takes under half an hour, and every rivet hole matched with no rework.

A priceless historic ring model was scanned contact-free, with no spray, so a museum could produce a one-to-one gold replica with its fine inscription intact.

Blue light or white light?

Blue light scanners such as Artec Spider II and Neo project 450 nm blue LED light and are built for industrial reverse engineering and inspection. Their 0.05 mm resolution resolves machined edges, fillets and engravings, and Spider II captures black, shiny, thin and deep features cleanly. Neo adds 0.025 mm accuracy with targets and works wirelessly.

Other light sources suit other jobs. Eva’s white structured light is safe for scanning people and covers medium objects at 0.1 mm accuracy and 0.2 mm resolution. Leo projects invisible VCSEL light that works outdoors in daylight, and the desktop Micro II uses RGB LEDs with four 13 MP cameras to reach up to 5 microns on small parts.

Blue laser is a different technology. Artec Point II projects blue laser lines rather than a pattern and works with reference targets, for metrology on black and shiny metal. It is covered on our laser 3D scanners page.

How much does a structured light scanner cost?

In our store, Artec Eva is €9,900, Spider II €27,000, Micro II €19,800, Leo €34,800 and Neo €35,100. Eva gives professional results at an entry-level price, while Micro II and Neo are metrology instruments for tolerance-critical work.

Premium Packs add five years of Artec Studio and an extended warranty: Eva €19,585, Spider II €37,700, Micro II €25,800 and Leo €48,750. Schools and universities can request a quote for Education Packages with Eva, Spider II or Leo.

Questions about structured-light 3D scanners

How does structured-light scanning work?

The scanner projects a light pattern and captures a whole area in every frame, together with color. Most Artec models track the object by its geometry and texture, so no targets are needed.

Blue, white or invisible light: what is the difference?

Spider II and Neo use 450 nm blue LED light and reach 0.05 mm resolution. Eva uses white light that is safe for scanning people, Leo an invisible VCSEL pattern that works in sunlight, and Micro II RGB LEDs.

How accurate is structured-light scanning?

Up to 5 microns on Micro II, 0.025 mm on Neo with targets, 0.05 mm on Spider II and on Neo without targets, and 0.1 mm on Eva and Leo.

Do I need targets?

Not for Micro II, Spider II, Eva or Leo. Neo works with or without targets and uses them only where tolerances demand metrology-grade accuracy.

Can structured light handle black or shiny parts?

Spider II captures black, shiny, thin and deep features cleanly, and the AI-powered HD Mode of Eva and Leo helps with dark and shiny surfaces. For target-based work on shiny machined metal, Artec Point II uses a blue laser.

Can I scan people?

Yes. Eva’s white structured light is safe for people and captures a limb or torso in minutes. Spider II’s LED light is eye-safe and contact-free for body parts, and Leo captures whole bodies.

Do these scanners capture color?

Yes, all five capture geometry and color together. Spider II and Neo record 5 MP texture, Leo 2.3 MP and Eva 1.3 MP, while Micro II captures native full color and Artec Studio can add photo texture from high-resolution photos.

Which software do I need?

Artec Studio Pro handles capture, fusion, editing, inspection and scan-to-CAD, with direct export to SOLIDWORKS, Design X and Control X. Smart Fusion combines data from several Artec scanners in one project, for example Spider II detail on top of a Leo scan.
