Artec Ray II is a high-accuracy long-range terrestrial LiDAR scanner for capturing vehicles, aircraft, industrial equipment, buildings, infrastructure, forensic scenes, and complete sites from distances up to 130 meters.
Ray II combines rapid LiDAR capture, precision measurement, HDR color, real-time registration, wireless control, and portable operation for demanding engineering and documentation projects.
Capture large machinery, vehicles, aircraft, buildings, bridges, and complete environments from safe working distances.
Rapidly collect dense point clouds to reduce field time and increase throughput on large scanning projects.
Achieve approximately 1.9 mm 3D point accuracy at 10 meters for engineering, inspection, and analysis.
Visual Inertial System tracking helps pre-align scan positions as you move through a project.
A 36 MP three-camera system creates realistic 360° color point clouds with automatic HDR bracketing.
Control settings, review placement, and launch captures remotely using the Artec Remote mobile app.
Explore official Artec Ray II imagery showing the scanner, industrial capture, HDR texture, scan-to-CAD, aerospace, automotive, and digital-twin workflows.
Portable long-range LiDAR scanning for large objects, buildings, vehicles, and industrial sites.
Capture complex machinery, piping, production environments, and large industrial assets.
Use the 36 MP three-camera system to create detailed, realistic color point clouds.
Process Ray II data in Artec Studio for CAD fitting, reverse engineering, and inspection.
Capture aircraft structures, engines, wings, landing gear, and large aerospace assemblies.
Digitize vehicles and production environments for inspection, crash analysis, and design.
Create high-accuracy digital representations of equipment, facilities, and infrastructure.
Combine long-range scene capture with detailed handheld scanning for complete 3D models.
All product and application imagery in this section is served directly from Artec 3D.
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.

Ray II is optimized for projects where the complete geometry of a large object or environment must be captured quickly and accurately.
Capture heavy machinery, vehicles, structures, piping, and legacy assets for CAD reconstruction and retrofit projects.
Use high-quality point clouds for deformation analysis, CAD comparison, crash testing, and large-component inspection.
Digitize facilities, equipment, and infrastructure for planning, maintenance, simulation, and lifecycle management.
Use Ray II for complete long-range coverage, then add Artec Leo for smaller details, recessed areas, and close-range geometry.
Ray II rapidly captures the full vehicle, aircraft, machine, building, or industrial environment.
Artec Leo records smaller features, edges, recesses, and high-detail local areas.
Combine long-range and handheld scans in Artec Studio for complete multi-resolution 3D models.
