Artec Ray II

Artec Ray II is a wireless, long-range LiDAR 3D scanner built to capture large to massive objects, scenes, and environments — from 0.5 m up to 130 m (1.6 ft to 427 ft) away — with metrology-grade accuracy. It records up to 2,000,000 points per second and completes a full-dome scan at its highest resolution in just 1 minute 42 seconds, making it one of the fastest terrestrial laser scanners in its class.

With 3D point accuracy of 1.9 mm at 10 m, best-in-class angular accuracy of 18 arcseconds, and a 36 MP 3-camera HDR imaging system, Ray II delivers clean, richly textured point clouds that need minimal post-processing. It's the right tool for reverse engineering, quality inspection, digital twins, forensic documentation, heritage preservation, and change-over-time assessment of civil infrastructure.

Why Choose Artec Ray II?

Metrology-Grade Accuracy at Long Range

Ray II uses time-of-flight scanning enhanced by Waveform Digitizing (WFD) technology for consistent, professional-grade results across its full working range:

Every Ray II ships with an accuracy certificate, and its Check & Adjust field procedure lets the scanner verify and recalibrate itself by scanning its surroundings — no targets, no lab visit.

Scan Times That Change Your Workflow

Where traditional terrestrial scanners tie up a site for hours, Ray II captures vehicles in minutes and aircraft or full-sized buildings in a few hours:

Simple to Operate — On Board or Remotely

Basic scan functions run directly from Ray II's full-color touchscreen, so capturing a scene is as simple as pressing a button. For hard-to-reach or hazardous locations — scanning at height, over machinery, or inside restricted areas — the Artec Remote app for iOS and Android starts scans, adjusts settings, and monitors progress from a safe distance over Wi-Fi. Data is saved to a 256 GB exchangeable USB 3.0 flash drive.

Ray II's smart auto-removal of moving objects (Double Scan) deletes people, vehicles, and anything else that passes through the scene during capture, so your data stays focused on what matters.

A Perfect Match for Artec Leo

Ray II pairs exceptionally well with the wireless handheld Artec Leo: use Ray II's range and speed for full scenes and large structures, then fill in specific areas, tight angles, and fine details with Leo. Both datasets merge seamlessly in Artec Studio for complete coverage of large or complex objects — a workflow used across shipbuilding, aerospace, and forensics. Ray II also integrates with every other Artec 3D scanner in seconds.

From Scan to CAD or Inspection

Upload scans to Artec Studio to position and fit CAD primitives, then export to SOLIDWORKS or other CAD packages for reverse engineering — or send data directly to Geomagic Control X for comprehensive, professional-grade inspection reports.

Applications

• Reverse engineering — capture legacy equipment, vehicles, construction machinery, and aircraft for scan-to-CAD workflows.
• Quality inspection — scan large parts and assemblies in under 2 minutes and export to Control X for deviation analysis.
• Digital twins — build accurate as-built models of facilities, plants, and infrastructure throughout their lifecycle.
• Civil infrastructure — document bridges, tunnels, dams, and wind turbines for inspection and change-over-time assessment.
• Forensics — document entire crime, death, and accident scenes in minutes with HDR color accurate enough to identify evidence such as bloodstains.
• Heritage preservation & archaeology — digitally preserve sites, monuments, and excavations in true-to-life color.
• Aerospace & automotive — fuselage and wing inspections, crush deformation analysis, accident reconstruction, and design optimization.
