Artec Eva Lite
The Artec Eva Lite is one of the best 3D scanners for the everyday engineer. It’s a scanner that’s perfect for an engineering department that doesn’t need to 3D scan something every day, but there are rare occurrences. Why is it so perfect in this scenario? Because the Eva Lite is a low-cost, handheld scanner for beginners that offers great precision, repeatability, and accuracy.
You don’t need any prior 3D scanning experience in order to pick up the Eva Lite and generate a high-quality 3D CAD model.
Basically, Artec took their Eva product and took out the color camera, HD scanning capability, and some continuous scanning features (features that would only be appreciated by people who regularly 3D scan products). As a result, the price is significantly lower, and it’s the least expensive option on Artec’s brochure.
Still, the Eva Lite will outperform any other scanner at a similar price. The accuracy and ease of use are still unrivaled, and it’s one reason why so many engineering departments rely on the Eva Lite as their go-to 3D scanner whenever the need arises.
