Present your object and let Micro 2 do the rest
Reverse engineering small objects
If you have a small or tiny part that is a legacy piece with no ready-made replacement, or requires any modification, Micro 2 has you sorted. Reverse engineer exactly what you need, right on your desktop.
Quality inspection
Whatever industry you work in, QI is likely an important part of your process. Let Micro 2 do the heavy lifting when scanning objects for quality control, with assurance of extremely high accuracy in every detail you capture.
Forensics
When working in a crime scene or capturing data from evidence, accuracy is as essential as speed is. With Micro II, you’ll be able to quickly digitize essential pieces of evidence such as bullets or pieces of debris for documentation, analysis, or presenting in court.
Archeology & paleontology
The Micro 2 allows you to quickly and easily digitize specific pieces or entire collections, in high accuracy and great detail, to create the 3D models you need for preservation, research, digitization, and restoration.
Design
Whether you need to digitize something you created, capture a part for inclusion in a larger design, or focus on fine details, Micro 2 has you covered when scanning small objects, and at lightning speed and utmost precision.
Dentistry
When it comes to applications that require as much care or customization as dentistry, leave nothing to chance – Micro 2 is designed to ensure every part of your product is precisely what you need it to be.
Brilliant texture
Scan your objects in full color with Micro 2. For hyper-realistic 3D models, add color from high-res photos using Artec Studio’s photo-texturing feature.
Scan-to-CAD export
Export directly to SOLIDWORKS or Geomagic Design X – or for inspection, directly to Control X for in-depth reports.
2-micron repeatability
Scan your objects in full color with Micro 2. For hyper-realistic 3D models, add color from high-res
Inspect and reverse engineer
Once your 3D scan data is captured, you can quickly and easily inspect and reverse engineer right in Artec Studio

“Something recent (2-4 years)”
“Best bang for buck – as much as possible”
“A recent gaming card with 8 GB VRAM or more” *
“2 TB is enough with a robust backup solution” **
* If you are using CAD software such as SOLIDWORKS, Inventor etc, a gaming card may not be fully supported so you may have to step up to a NVIDIA Quadro / RTX A-series. We have access to a growing list of suitable graphics cards so if in doubt, ask.
