    July 11, 2013
    The handheld Artec Spider is a 3D scanner capable of scanning sharp edges and small objects with extraordinary resolution and accuracy. Named because of its many “eyes,” the Spider has higher accuracy, resolution, and the ability to digitize the most complex, industrial parts such as molds, PCBs, coins, and engravings.
