The Artec Eva is a fast, lightweight professional handheld 3D scanner for capturing accurate, full-color 3D models of medium-sized objects. Rapid Scan 3D provides Artec Eva pricing, demonstrations, training, implementation, and technical support.
Artec Eva combines structured-light scanning, geometry tracking, texture tracking, full-color capture, and portable operation for a wide range of professional 3D scanning applications.
Capture up to 18 million points per second at up to 16 frames per second for efficient digitization of medium-sized parts and objects.
Track many objects using their natural geometry and texture, reducing the need to apply reflective positioning targets.
Capture surface geometry and color texture together for realistic 3D models, visualization, digital archiving, and CGI workflows.
At approximately 2 pounds, Artec Eva is easy to use in offices, laboratories, production environments, classrooms, and field locations.
Generate accurate mesh data for downstream CAD workflows, product redesign, replacement parts, tooling, and manufacturing documentation.
Use captured 3D data for dimensional comparison, deviation analysis, part inspection, and documentation with compatible metrology software.
The Artec Eva handheld 3D scanner is optimized for medium-sized objects with visible geometry or texture. It is commonly used to scan automotive components, machinery, castings, furniture, sculptures, human forms, manufactured products, and historical artifacts.
1. Capture: Move the handheld scanner around the object while monitoring scan coverage in real time.
2. Process: Align scans, remove unwanted data, fuse the geometry, and optimize the polygon mesh in Artec Studio.
3. Export: Send the finished 3D model to CAD, inspection, reverse engineering, visualization, or 3D printing software.
See how the Artec Eva fits into portable 3D scanning, automotive scanning, reverse engineering, and professional data-capture workflows.
Lightweight design for fast, full-color scanning of medium-sized objects.
Capture complex components for engineering, inspection, modification, and documentation.
