The latest version, Artec Studio 11, comes with an autopilot mode, which makes mesh-model creation easy enough for beginners and novices. The scanner sends its scan data to Artec 3D’s post-processing software Artec Studio.
Therefore, having one free hand to spin the stand or move the mouse as you scan is an important consideration. For easy scanning of small objects, it’s best to position it on the rotating stand that comes with the scanner. The scanner, like many others in the same class, must be attached to a reasonably powerful PC to operate. The curved handle offers a firm grip with a single hand, leaving the other hand free. The flat surface at the bottom houses the blue LED beam projectors. The form factor, which mimics a standard iron, has certain advantages. But if you’re using the scanner to capture an object’s rough shape, you can start using it right away.” In the case of the Space Spider, it takes three minutes - a huge improvement over the previous generation, the Spider, which takes roughly 40 mins before it’s ready to scan.Īnna Galdina, Artec 3D’s sales manager for North America, explained, “The warmup is necessary if you need precision and accuracy. (Check out this Black & Decker model D2030 for comparison.) Just like an iron, it too takes some time to warm up. One week later, I received a note from Artec 3D’s PR agency: Would I like to examine the company’s technology myself? So, on a sunny day made for locomotive travel, I jumped on the Southbound Caltrain toward Palo Alto, where Artec 3D keeps a branch office.Īrtec 3D’s latest handheld scanner, the Space Spider, is shaped like an iron you might use to smooth a wrinkled shirt. So I did, and in a week duly received my own Kenneth Wong action figure. If you happen to like the result, you can order a 3D avatar from the Shapify site. In a number of engineering and design software shows, I noticed the company’s Shapify booth, beckoning attendees to get scanned in 3D.
I kept crossing path with Artec 3D at difference tech conferences, even though I didn’t realize it. The comparison feature in Artec Studio 11 highlighting the contour and surface deviations between two scans.
