More from Artec 3DIn the case
Everything you need to scan
Best for small, detailed objects — brackets, connectors, coins, carvings. High resolution for sharp edges and fine features that bigger scanners smooth over.
The scanner, calibrated
Checked and calibrated before it leaves Cheshire, so it scans from the moment you open the case.
A laptop with Artec Studio
Installed and licensed for the length of the hire. Nothing to buy or install.
Cables, power and batteries
Everything it needs to run, with batteries where the scanner takes them.
A courier-proof case
A hard transport case that goes out and comes back the same way.
Engineers on the phone
Support from people who use the same kit every week, for the whole hire.
How hire works
From booking to sending it back
- 1
Tell us the job
What you’re scanning, where and what you need out the other end — a photo helps an engineer pick the right scanner fast.
- 2
We confirm kit and dates
You get a firm price for the duration, what’s included, plus delivery or collection options.
- 3
Delivery or pick-up
Couriered anywhere in the UK, or collect from Whitchurch. First-time hirers: take the half-day training, it pays for itself.
- 4
Scan
Artec Studio and a laptop come in the case. Phone support from people who use these scanners every week.
- 5
Send it back
Courier collection on the agreed date. Keep the data — it’s yours.
Hire it, then buy it
Prove the Artec Spider II on your own parts first. If you go on to buy one, we offset the hire charges against the scanner, which is £22,680 ex VAT.
About the Artec Spider II →Learn it before day one
Take the half-day training when you collect, or add a course to the hire above, so the hire days go on scanning rather than learning the software.
Artec Studio training →Rather we scanned it?
For a one-off job our scanning service is usually cheaper and faster than learning the workflow. Send the part in, or we come to you, and you get the finished files back.

FAQ
Not answered here?
Ask the engineers who run the machines. We answer the same working day.
Do I need training to hire a scanner?
If you’ve not used the scanner before, we strongly recommend the half-day training when you collect — the scanners are straightforward once you know the workflow and easy to get in a mess with when you don’t. Delivery hires can add on-site training instead.
What’s included in the hire price?
The scanner, a laptop with licensed Artec Studio installed, the transport case, cables and power. You scan and process on what we send — nothing else to buy or install.
Can you deliver and train on our site?
Yes. Delivery with on-site training is charged as an engineer day on top of the hire, anywhere in the UK.
How do longer hires work?
Day rate falls with duration: 10% off from 10 days, 15% off from 20 days. Week rates are already discounted. For rentals of a month to a year, ask for a long-term rate.
What if I get stuck mid-hire?
Ring us. Support from engineers who use the same kit is part of the hire — most problems are a settings change, not a fault.
Can I put the hire cost towards buying a scanner?
Yes — hire before you buy. If you go on to purchase, we offset hire charges against the scanner. Ask when you book and we’ll confirm the terms in writing.
Should I hire, or just have you do the scanning?
If it’s a one-off job, our scanning service is usually cheaper and faster than learning the workflow yourself. Hire wins when you have days of scanning, repeat work, or the part can’t come to us and you want the kit on site.
Is a deposit required?
We confirm deposit and insurance arrangements when we confirm your booking, before any money changes hands.
