Artec Spider II: System Requirements

 

The Artec Spider II is a new scanner in Artec3D product line with high precision and versatility, making it ideal for a range of applications, from industrial design to healthcare.

 

Artec Spider II specs:

 

The Artec Spider II is designed to capture high-resolution scans with intricate details, generating substantial amounts of data in a short period. When scanning objects with complex geometries, the volume of data can quickly become overwhelming. Transferring this data from the scanner to a laptop without a high-speed interface can lead to bottlenecks, slowing down the entire workflow. It is essential to have a powerful machine to fully leverage all the scanner's advantages.

With transfer speeds of up to 40 Gbps, Thunderbolt offers a significant advantage over traditional USB connections. This rapid data transfer is crucial when working on projects that require real-time processing and quick turnaround times.

As Artec Hardware Team looks toward the future, the trend in technology is leaning heavily towards faster and more efficient data transfer methods. Including a Thunderbolt port in the Artec Spider II would ensure that the device remains relevant and competitive in an ever-evolving market. By embracing advanced connectivity options, manufacturers can cater to the increasing demands for high-speed data transfer, setting a new standard in the industry.
