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?

Long-range precision

Capture objects from 0.5 to 130 m (1.6 to 427 ft) with 1.9 mm accuracy at 10 m and range accuracy of 1.0 mm + 10 ppm.

Lightning-fast capture

Up to 2 million points per second. A full 360° × 300° dome at 3 mm resolution takes 1 min 42 sec without texture.

Fully wireless & portable

5.35 kg (11.7 lb) scanner, about 5 kg (11 lb) with its carbon tripod. Battery-powered, controlled onboard or via the Artec Remote app — no computer, no targets.

Brilliant HDR texture

A 36 MP 3-camera system captures 432 MPx of raw data for a calibrated 360° × 300° spherical image with automatic 5-bracket HDR.

Smart onboard registration

Visual Inertial System (VIS), altimeter, compass, and GNSS align scans in real time between setups — scans arrive in Artec Studio pre-registered.

Built for the field

IP54 water and dust protection, Class 1 eye-safe 1550 nm laser, operation from -5°C to +40°C (23°F to 104°F), and hot-swappable batteries for up to 8 hours of scanning.

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:

Metric Performance
3D point accuracy @ 10 m (32.8 ft) 1.9 mm
3D point accuracy @ 20 m (65.6 ft) 2.9 mm
3D point accuracy @ 40 m (131 ft) 5.3 mm
Angular accuracy 18 arcseconds (0.87 mm @ 10 m)
Range accuracy 1.0 mm + 10 ppm
Range noise 0.4 mm @ 10 m; 0.5 mm @ 20 m (at 89% albedo)

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:

Resolution @ 10 m Without texture With texture
3 mm 1 min 42 sec 2 min 42 sec
6 mm 51 sec 1 min 51 sec
12 mm 26 sec 1 min 26 sec

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Artec Ray II captures objects and scenes from 0.5 m to 130 m (1.6 ft to 427 ft) away, with a 360° horizontal × 300° vertical field of view. That makes it well suited to large and massive subjects — buildings, aircraft, ships, bridges, wind turbines, and entire outdoor scenes.
Ray II delivers 3D point accuracy of 1.9 mm at 10 m, 2.9 mm at 20 m, and 5.3 mm at 40 m, with best-in-class angular accuracy of 18 arcseconds (0.87 mm at 10 m) and range accuracy of 1.0 mm + 10 ppm. Every scanner ships with an accuracy certificate.
Ray II captures up to 2,000,000 points per second. A complete full-dome scan takes 1 minute 42 seconds at the highest (3 mm) resolution without texture, and as little as 26 seconds at 12 mm resolution. Vehicles can be captured in minutes; aircraft and full-sized buildings in a few hours.
No. Ray II is target-free and fully wireless. Basic functions run from its onboard touchscreen, and the Artec Remote app for iOS and Android provides full control from a distance. Real-time registration via its Visual Inertial System, altimeter, compass, and GNSS aligns scans between setups automatically, so data arrives in Artec Studio pre-registered.
Two internal, hot-swappable Li-Ion batteries power the scanner for typically up to 4 hours. With another pair charged and on standby, you can scan for a full 8 hours — and you can charge batteries while scanning, so there's no downtime.
Yes. Ray II carries IP54 water and dust protection (IEC 60529), operates from -5°C to +40°C (23°F to 104°F) with extended operation possible to -10°C (14°F), and uses a Class 1 eye-safe 1550 nm laser, so it's safe and reliable for construction sites, infrastructure, and field work.
Yes — the two are an ideal pairing. Ray II rapidly captures full scenes and large structures at long range, while the handheld Artec Leo fills in specific areas, tight angles, and fine detail. Both datasets merge seamlessly in Artec Studio, and Ray II integrates with all other Artec 3D scanners as well.
Ray II works with Artec Studio, where scans can be processed, fitted with CAD primitives, and exported to SOLIDWORKS and other CAD packages for reverse engineering — or sent directly to Geomagic Control X for professional inspection reports.
