What Can You Scan With Artec Ray II?

  • Aircraft, vehicles, ships, and heavy equipment
  • Factories, production lines, and industrial machinery
  • Buildings, bridges, tunnels, roads, and infrastructure
  • Large-scale reverse engineering and CAD reconstruction
  • Dimensional inspection and deformation analysis
  • Digital twins and facility documentation

Typical Long-Range LiDAR Workflow

1. Position: Place Ray II at the first scan location and choose the required resolution and texture settings.

2. Capture: Scan a 360° × 300° field of view while recording geometry and optional HDR color.

3. Reposition: Move around the object or site while VIS tracking helps pre-align scans.

4. Process: Use Artec Studio for registration, cleanup, measurement, meshing, CAD fitting, and export.
