Automated desktop 3D scanning for small, intricate parts: place the part, press one button and get a full-color model with up to 5-micron accuracy.
Micro II suits labs that measure many small parts and need the same result whoever runs the scan.
Connectors, valves, watch parts, crowns, rings, coins and small castings

Also consider Artec Studio Pro — for CAD comparison, primitive fitting and export to SOLIDWORKS
The same workflow in Artec Studio, whoever runs the scanner.
Anything from a part held between two fingers to palm size fits, up to 200 × 200 × 150 mm and 2 kg.
Smart Scanning Mode moves the part along the ideal path, so every side is covered in minimal time, with no expert at the controls.
Compare the model with CAD, fit primitives or take measurements in Artec Studio. Native color and photo texture come with the geometry.
Send the model to SOLIDWORKS or Geomagic Control X, or export STEP, IGES, X_T, STL, or measurements as CSV, DXF and XML.
An EGR pipe, a small machined part, a dental cast and a sculpted ring: threads, lettering and tiny recesses resolved at micron level. Spin any model and zoom in.
A bent stainless-steel pipe with polished areas, captured in four orientations.
The other way to automate small-part capture is a handheld scanner on a turntable. The Artec Turntable turns the part in sync with Artec Studio, so small objects are captured target-free in one go, with the same setup every time. It comes in the Artec Spider II Premium Pack and costs 700 € on its own.
Choose Micro II for micron-level, repeatable measurement of parts up to palm size with no expert at the controls. Choose Spider II with a turntable when the same scanner must also capture larger parts, up to engine size, by hand on the shop floor or on site. Spider II reaches 0.05 mm accuracy and resolution.
In our store, Artec Micro II is 19 800 €. The Micro II Premium Pack, 25 800 €, adds five years of Artec Studio, a longer warranty and access to the Artec Academy platform, with no separate software renewals.
For the turntable route, Artec Spider II is 27 000 €. The Spider II Premium Pack, 37 700 €, bundles the scanner with the Artec Turntable, a battery, five years of Artec Studio, a 5-year warranty and a 5-year Hot Swap contract.
Anything from a part held between two fingers up to palm size, with a recommended maximum of 200 × 200 × 150 mm and 2 kg.
Up to 5 microns 3D point accuracy with 2-micron repeatability, certified to ISO 12836, the accuracy standard for dental CAD/CAM scanners. Material and surface finish may slightly affect noise.
No. In fully automatic mode the software picks the trajectory and the number of frames, so results stay consistent whoever loads the part.
Yes. Micro II captures native full color, and Artec Studio can add photo texture from high-resolution photos.
Use a handheld scanner such as Artec Spider II, which covers parts from coins up to an engine. Its data merges with Micro II scans in one Artec Studio project.
Artec Studio on Windows 10 or 11, with at least 32 GB RAM and a GPU with 6 GB VRAM; 64 GB RAM and an NVIDIA GPU with 8 GB VRAM are recommended. The Premium Pack adds five years of Artec Studio and a 3-year warranty.
For small parts, yes. Micro II reaches up to 5 µm with 2 µm repeatability, while Artec handheld scanners reach 0.02 to 0.1 mm. Handhelds win on object size and mobility, from small parts to whole cars.
The turntable measures 250 × 250 × 45 mm, weighs 0.72 kg and carries parts up to 3 kg.
