Data storage concept

Data is stored on an exchangeable USB data storage device. The scanner comes with two USB sticks (exFAT formatted) which fit into the USB slot of the scanner.

The USB stick is used to transfer data from the scanner to external computers. All data recorded by the scanner and all meta data created by the field app on the remote tablet is stored on the USB stick.

Integration with Artec Studio 18

The data acquired from Artec Ray II can be viewed and processed in Artec Studio 18, which must be purchased separately from the scanner.

Once you purchased Artec Studio 18, you need to install it:

  1. Open my.artec3d and download Artec Installation Center

  2. Install Artec Installation Center on your computer and launch it

  3. Download Artec Studio

  4. Install Artec Studio as Artec Studio manual - Install section suggests.

Once you’re done, you can proceed to the setting up the scanner.
