High precision, budget-friendly
Eva Lite, the economical version of our best-selling Artec Eva 3D scanner, offers the same accuracy, yet with simplified functionality. The ability to create textureless 3D scans of geometry-rich objects such as the human body makes it ideal for healthcare applications.
Efficient and upgradeable
Without color capture, Eva Lite generates less data, requiring less computing power and running on more affordable computers. Upgrade to the full functionality of the Eva scanner anytime just by paying the price difference between the two scanner models.
Educational advantage
The Artec Educational Package for Eva Lite comes with an attractive discount, 20 Artec Studio licenses, 2-year software upgrades, and a 2-year guarantee – investing in future innovations has never been easier.

Got a question about the Artec Eva Lite 3D scanner?
-
What is the difference between Artec Eva and Eva Lite?
The main difference between Artec Eva and Eva Lite is that Eva Lite doesn’t capture the color of an object due to a disabled color camera. It can only capture the geometry of an object, and with less than half the 3D resolution, compared to Eva — 0.5 mm vs. 0.2 mm (in HD). Because color tracking is not available, it’s harder for Eva Lite to keep track of the surface while scanning, and it works best for objects that don’t have textured features, but unique or rich geometry instead. Also, there are a few differences in the software functionality. For example, Auto-continue from selected scans, Fine and Global Registration using texture information, and coloring (Texturing) the final model are among the features not available when using Eva Lite.

Is geometry tracking enough for my tasks when using Eva Lite?
The answer to this question will very much depend on the task you want to accomplish, the size and the geometry of the object that you need to scan, and the results you want to achieve. Unlike other Artec scanners, Eva Lite doesn’t capture the color of an object, so to scan it, the object itself must have unique and rich geometry so that the scanner can “see” and capture it from every angle. Make sure that the object you want to scan meets these criteria, and check other parameters that are essential for you, such as the scanner’s recommended object size, accuracy, and resolution.
For more information, please consult your local Artec 3D certified reseller. -
Is it true that Artec Eva Lite is the best affordable 3D scanner?
The answer to this question very much depends on what scanner/scanners you compare it to. Eva Lite is a budget version of Artec’s award-winning handheld 3D scanner Eva which is used by thousands of major companies worldwide. It features lots of the functionality of Eva, which is sufficient for a number of applications, including healthcare, education, and research. At any point, Eva Lite can be upgraded to Eva, which is capable of capturing a wider range of objects in color and at a higher resolution, sharpness, and quality (in HD Mode).
