Artec Spider II^*

* Scanned by legacy scanner Space Spider now upgraded to Spider II.

Scanning time

3 min

Processing time

25 min

A very simple part to scan and a good example of scanning holes. To scan a hole, one needs to make sure that all or at least most of the edge area is seen by the scanner during the scanning process.
