From coins and inscriptions to statues, buildings and whole historic sites: 3D scanners that capture shape and color without touching the object.
Object size decides it. Many teams combine a handheld scanner for artifacts with Ray II or Jet for buildings and sites.

Also consider Artec Twins — merges Jet, Ray II and Leo data into one site model
Artec Studio Pro for objects and buildings, Artec Twins for whole sites.
Scan the object, building or site with the scanner that fits its size. No targets, markers or powder go on the original.
Artec Studio fuses the scans into a watertight model, with photo texturing and HDR texture for faithful color.
Smart Fusion merges data from several Artec scanners in one project; Artec Twins joins Jet, Ray II and Leo data into one site.
Export light versions for web and VR, watertight meshes for replicas, and full-resolution archives to monitor condition over time.
A coin, carved doors, bronze statues and a castle: from fine relief to whole sites, captured without touching the object. Explore any of them.
A shiny bi-metal coin only 2.2 mm thick, with readable lettering on both sides.

A crowded temple and its giant statue were mapped while walking, without disturbing worshippers, and processed in 2 hours. Another temple took a 5-minute lap.

A wall-mounted 1 × 2 m ancient lid was scanned on site and matched digitally to a sarcophagus in another country, confirmed in AR.

Relief pottery shards were scanned to test whether they came from the same workshop, and their stamp motifs matched in detail. The data will feed future AI classification.
Scanned withArtec Spider II
It depends on object size. Artec Micro II suits coins and small finds, Spider II inscriptions and detailed artifacts, Eva sculptures and artifacts up to about 2 m, Leo large statues and monuments, Ray II buildings and interiors, and Jet whole sites.
Scanning is contact-free, and Spider II, Eva and Leo need no targets or markers, so nothing is stuck on the original. Micro II moves the object itself, so it suits finds that can be handled.
Spider II captures 5 MP texture under CRI > 95 white light, Leo 2.3 MP with Photo Texture support, and Ray II calibrated 360° HDR imagery from a 36 MP camera system. Artec Studio can also add photo texture from your own camera.
Yes. Smart Fusion in Artec Studio Pro merges data from several Artec scanners in one project, and Artec Twins joins Jet, Ray II and Leo data, from a whole site down to carved detail.
Yes. Leo works in daylight with no cables, Eva runs up to 6 hours on its optional battery, Ray II is IP54-rated, and Jet is IP65-rated and maps in complete darkness.
Online exhibits, VR and AR, 3D-printed replicas and tactile copies, research measurements, and condition monitoring over time.
Yes. Artec Studio Pro includes AI Photogrammetry, which turns photos or video from a phone or camera into a textured 3D model when a scanner is not at hand. Artec Studio Lite offers AI Photogrammetry without 3D scanning, for photo-only projects.
Yes. Artec Studio exports watertight meshes for 3D printing and replicas. With Spider II, a historic ring was scanned contact-free, cleaned up and delivered for replication in about an hour, fine inscription included.
