description Artec Ray Overview
The Artec Ray is a portable scanner employing structured light technology. It captures detailed 3D data, including color and texture, of objects up to 1.5 meters in size. This device produces accurate digital models suitable for applications such as reverse engineering, industrial inspection, and the preservation of cultural heritage artifacts. It’s particularly useful for professionals needing precise measurements and scans of larger items.
help Artec Ray FAQ
Does the Artec Ray use structured light or laser scanning technology?
The Artec Ray uses laser-based 3D scanning technology rather than structured light, which is the technology used in Artec's handheld models like the Eva and Spider. The laser approach allows the Ray to capture objects at much greater distances, up to approximately 110 meters, making it suitable for large-scale industrial and architectural scanning.
What is the maximum object size the Artec Ray can scan?
The Artec Ray is designed for long-range scanning of large objects and environments, including full building facades, industrial equipment, and heritage sites. Its working range extends to roughly 110 meters, placing it in a different category from Artec's structured-light handheld scanners that are limited to smaller objects.
What software comes with the Artec Ray for processing scans?
The Artec Ray is used with Artec Studio, the company's proprietary software suite for aligning, processing, and exporting 3D scan data. Artec Studio supports export to common formats including OBJ, STL, and PLY, compatible with CAD and 3D modeling applications like SOLIDWORKS and Geomagic.
Can the Artec Ray capture color and texture alongside geometric data?
Yes, the Artec Ray can capture texture and color information during the scanning process, producing full-color 3D models. This capability is particularly valuable for cultural heritage documentation and forensic applications where visual fidelity matters as much as dimensional accuracy.
