What is Structured Light?
Artec Scanners Eva Space Spider 100 Micron 50 Micron Leo 100 Micron
Artec Eva - Handheld for scan flexibility - Uses white flash bulb light source (no laser) - Captures objects in up to 16 frames - Ability to capture texture (color). - Does not require markers - Accuracy: 100 microns
Artec Space Spider - Handheld scanner for ease-of-use - Uses blue LED light source (no laser) - Captures and processes objects in seconds, up to 1,000,000 points per second - Captures texture (color) - Does not require markers - Accuracy: 50 Microns
What doesn t scan well?
The Remedy
Sample Eva Scan
Sample Space Spider Scan
Eva vs. Spider There are many variables involved in creating a scan. This is a general example to aid in choosing the correct scanner for your application.

Reverse Engineering Scan to Print Most scanner/software packages are capable of exporting a watertight model, this being the only requirement for 3D printing, other that the mesh file. Workflow require minimum to zero manipulation when printing scanned artefacts.
Reverse Engineering Scan to CAD Most CAD and CAE software is solid based modeling, and utilizes a parametric feature-based approach to create models and assemblies. Scan Data is point cloud data that is later meshed together in various different format but no where near a CAD/CAE configuration.
