For example, we’re also starting to measure small components made from highly engineered materials for satellites. So far, we haven’t optimized this process, and we’re not talking about a starship here. But Micro II does allow us to track geometry changes under different temperatures as a research institution at a prototype level.

Why Artec Micro II
- One click, no expertise needed. Smart algorithms move the object along the ideal path so every side gets covered, with consistent results whoever runs the scan.
- Certified precision. Up to 5 µm accuracy and 2 µm repeatability, certified to ISO 12836.
- Sees into recesses. Four 13 MP cameras look into holes and grooves and around sharp edges.
- Color included. Native full-color capture, plus photo texturing in Artec Studio.
- Straight to CAD and inspection. Fit primitives, compare against CAD and export to SOLIDWORKS or Geomagic Control X.
Where it shines
Micro II is a metrology instrument for small parts: load the part, press one button and get certified micron-level data, with no expert needed at the controls.
- Inspection of small precision parts. Connectors, valves, watch components, small castings and machined parts are compared with CAD down to the micron, with the same result whoever runs the scan.
- Reverse engineering of small, complex parts. Deep recesses, sharp edges and tiny features go straight to CAD for redesign or remanufacturing.
- Dental and medical. Crowns, bridges, implants and lab research, with accuracy certified to ISO 12836, the accuracy standard for dental CAD/CAM scanners.
- Jewelry and small collections. Rings, gem settings, coins, shells and small bones digitized in full color for redesign, replicas and archives.
2-year manufacturer warranty.

With Micro, I can affix the piece, so there’s minimal risk of it falling down or breaking. Otherwise, you’d need to manually manipulate into several positions to get all the information. I prefer to do all the small pieces in Micro, saving it directly – and the museum is also happy with this method.
