Artec Eva Lite

Legacy Geometry-Only Structured-Light 3D Scanner

Artec Eva Lite for Affordable 3D Scanning, Reverse Engineering & Healthcare

Artec Eva Lite was the lower-cost geometry-only version of Artec Eva, using the same core handheld hardware while disabling color capture and several texture-based software functions. With up to 0.1 mm accuracy, 0.5 mm resolution, 16 FPS reconstruction, and geometry-based tracking, Eva Lite remains useful for medium-sized objects with rich, distinctive geometry.

Important: Eva Lite is a legacy model

Artec states that Eva Lite is no longer sold as a current scanner and recommends the full-featured Artec Eva as its replacement. Existing Eva Lite users can continue to receive software updates, accessories, and technical support.

Affordable Geometry-Only 3D Scanning

Eva Lite was created for users who needed the speed and core geometry capture of Artec Eva without full-color scanning.

01

0.1 mm Accuracy

Capture medium-sized objects with professional-grade geometry suitable for documentation, healthcare, reverse engineering, and design workflows.

02

0.5 mm Resolution

Record overall form and geometry where ultra-fine surface detail is less important than fast, reliable shape capture.

03

Geometry Tracking

Eva Lite tracks using shape instead of texture, making it best suited to objects with distinctive, non-repeating geometry.

04

16 FPS Capture

Scan naturally around a person or object while viewing real-time reconstruction on the connected computer.

05

Portable Handheld Design

At about 0.9 kg, Eva Lite is easy to transport between clinics, classrooms, workshops, and job sites.

06

Artec Studio Workflow

Use Autopilot or manual processing tools to align, clean, fuse, measure, and export geometry for downstream workflows.

What Is Eva Lite Best For?

  • Human body scanning for orthotics and healthcare
  • Medium-sized industrial objects with distinctive geometry
  • Education and training environments
  • Reverse engineering where texture is not required
  • Basic inspection and dimensional documentation
  • 3D printing and model creation
  • Legacy Artec workflows already built around Eva Lite

Geometry Matters More Than Texture

Eva Lite does not capture color. Tracking and registration are based on geometry alone.

Objects with distinctive shapes, curves, edges, and varied form are the best candidates.

Smooth, repetitive, or low-feature surfaces can be more difficult because Eva Lite cannot use color differences to help maintain tracking.

Artec Eva vs. Eva Lite

Eva Lite uses the same core hardware platform, but Artec Eva offers significantly broader capability.

Color & Texture

Eva: Full-color texture capture and texture-based tracking.
Eva Lite: Geometry-only capture with no texture camera output.

Resolution

Eva: Up to 0.2 mm in HD Mode.
Eva Lite: Up to 0.5 mm and no HD Mode.

Tracking & Processing

Eva: Hybrid geometry + texture tracking and registration.
Eva Lite: Geometry-based tracking, alignment, and registration only.

Healthcare, Education & Engineering Applications

Eva Lite became popular where affordable, safe, geometry-focused handheld scanning was more important than color.

Healthcare & Orthotics

Capture human-body geometry for custom orthotics, corsets, braces, prosthetic workflows, and clinical documentation.

Education

Introduce professional structured-light scanning in classrooms, engineering programs, research labs, and training environments.

Artec Eva Lite Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about availability, accuracy, resolution, color, tracking, software, applications, and upgrading.

What is Artec Eva Lite?
Eva Lite was the lower-cost geometry-only version of Artec Eva. It uses the same core hardware platform but does not capture color and has reduced software functionality.
Is Artec Eva Lite still sold new?
No. Artec states that Eva Lite is no longer on sale as a current scanner and recommends Artec Eva as the replacement.
How accurate is Artec Eva Lite?
Eva Lite provides 3D point accuracy of up to 0.1 mm and 3D accuracy over distance of up to 0.1 mm + 0.3 mm/m.
What is the resolution of Eva Lite?
Eva Lite provides 3D resolution of up to 0.5 mm.
Does Eva Lite capture color?
No. Eva Lite captures geometry only. Its color camera functionality is disabled, so it cannot create full-color textured 3D models.
How does Eva Lite track an object?
Eva Lite uses geometry-based tracking. Objects with rich, distinctive geometry are therefore easier to scan than smooth or repetitive surfaces.
Does Eva Lite support HD Mode?
No. HD Mode is available on the full Artec Eva but not on Eva Lite.
What is Eva Lite used for?
Typical uses include healthcare, orthotics, human-body scanning, education, reverse engineering, 3D printing, documentation, and other geometry-focused workflows.
Can existing Eva Lite users still get support?
Yes. Artec states that existing Eva Lite users continue to benefit from software updates, accessories, and technical support.
Should I buy Eva Lite or Artec Eva?
For a new purchase, Artec recommends Eva. Eva adds full-color capture, HD Mode, hybrid geometry and texture tracking, and broader application support. Contact Rapid Scan 3D to compare current, used, demo, trade-in, or upgrade options.
