As one of the most powerful long-range laser 3D scanners on the market, the Ray II is engineered for professional users who need reliable results, rapid scanning, and field-ready versatility. Whether you’re a surveyor, manufacturer, forensic specialist, or restoration expert, the Ray II offers a best-in-class solution that blends precision hardware with intelligent software.
Meet the Artec Ray II: Fast, Accurate, and Mobile.
Designed to deliver sub-millimetre accuracy at distances of up to 130 metres, the Artec Ray II 3D scanner is all about performance and practicality. It captures up to 2 million points per second and also uses a dual-axis compensator for improved stability and data fidelity.
Unlike many traditional terrestrial scanners, the Ray II is designed with portability and automation in mind. It’s equipped with internal storage, a swappable battery system for 4+ hours of field use, furthermore it even has remote control options via smartphone or tablet.
furthermore, it comes equipped with an automatic on-site registration. It is a laser scanner that gets professionals from setup to scan in a matter of minutes. It also requires minimal accessories, such as: external targets, laptops, or bulky power packs.
Ultra-Fast Scanning Speed
With a speed of 2 million points per second, the Ray II dramatically reduces time on site. A full 360° scan takes just 1.7 minutes. This allows operators to cover large areas efficiently.
Sub-Millimetre Accuracy
The Ray II delivers 3D point accuracy of 1.9 mm at 10 metres and 2.9 mm at 20 metres, with angular accuracy of 0.87 mm at 10 metres, making it ideal for precise engineering and inspection work.
Long-Range Capture
The scanner can capture objects and environments up to 130 metres away, which is especially valuable for capturing buildings, facades, towers, and infrastructure.
Portability and Field Readiness
Weighing only 5.6 kg and with a built-in battery system, it’s made for mobile work. No need to carry a laptop or generator—the Ray II is ready to go in even the most remote locations.
Seamless Software Integration
The scanner connects natively with Artec Studio, allowing you to combine scans with handheld data, use automated registration, and export to CAD, BIM, and point cloud platforms.
Target-Free Scanning
Thanks to real-time registration and high-quality optics, the Ray II works without reference markers or targets—saving prep time and reducing complexity.
The Rise of Long-Range 3D Scanning
3D scanning has rapidly moved from niche use to mainstream across dozens of industries. While handheld scanners like the Artec Leo and Eva dominate in object-level scanning, there’s a growing need for capturing larger environments with equally high levels of detail.
That’s where long-range laser 3D scanners come into play as they can rapidly gather millions of points across wide distances, they are perfect for:
Documenting buildings, vehicles, or accident scenes
Capturing large industrial installations
Up to 0.2 mmCreating digital twins for inspection or reverse engineering
Small to large objectsSurveying terrain and civil engineering projects
