Artec 3D collaborates with Leica Geosystems

Artec 3D has introduced the Artec Ray II, a highly precise 3D Lidar scanner specifically designed for digitizing large objects and spaces with exceptional speed and accuracy. The new scanner is the result of a collaborative effort between Artec 3D and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon. The Artec Ray II is capable of capturing a complete dome in just 1.7 minutes, achieving a 3D point accuracy of 1.9mm from a distance of 10m. These features make it an ideal solution for generating digital twins of extensive objects and complex scenes.
