In the evolving world of 3D scanning, accuracy, speed, and flexibility are key. When it comes to capturing large objects or expansive environments—such as construction sites, factory floors, vehicles, or historical monuments—those qualities aren’t just preferences, they’re requirements. That’s where the Artec Ray II 3D scanner shines.
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.
Let’s break down the most important features that make the Artec Ray II a standout in the field:
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.
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.
The scanner can capture objects and environments up to 130 metres away, which is especially valuable for capturing buildings, facades, towers, and infrastructure.
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.
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.
Thanks to real-time registration and high-quality optics, the Ray II works without reference markers or targets—saving prep time and reducing complexity.
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:
Architecture & ConstructionGenerate accurate as-built documentation, monitor construction progress, and integrate directly with BIM platforms.
Industrial InspectionScan large machinery or production environments for digital twin creation, retrofitting, and spatial planning.
Forensics & Crash ReconstructionQuickly and accurately capture full scenes, thus preserving spatial relationships for analysis or legal evidence.
Cultural Heritage & PreservationSafely document historical sites, buildings, and monuments in full 3D without physical contact.
Transportation & InfrastructureScan aircraft, ships, trains, bridges and other large-scale assets for maintenance, inspection and reverse engineering.
What is the maximum scanning range of the Artec Ray II?
The Artec Ray II can capture accurate 3D data from up to 130 metres away, so this makes it ideal for scanning buildings, vehicles, industrial sites, and other large-scale environments.
Does the Ray II require targets or markers for scanning?
No, the Ray II features target-free scanning with automatic on-site registration, this allows for fast, accurate alignment without additional setup or hardware.
Is the Artec Ray II portable for field use?
Yes, the Ray II is fully portable with built-in batteries, internal storage, and remote control capability via tablet or smartphone. It’s designed for quick setup and cordless operation in outdoor or remote locations.
What software is compatible with the Artec Ray II?
The scanner works seamlessly with Artec Studio, and data is compatible with leading CAD, BIM, inspection. Exports from Artec Ray II also include geospatial platforms: Geomagic, ReCap, and CloudCompare.
Can I combine scans from the Ray II with data from handheld scanners?
No. Leo processes scans onboard while also displaying them in real-time on its built-in touchscreen. You can also save files to the SD card or transfer them wirelessly to your workstation.
Absolutely — the Ray II is ideal for hybrid workflows. It integrates perfectly with handheld Artec scanners like the Leo or Eva for detailed close-range capture.
