The Artec EVA 3D scanner

Artec
EVA

EVA is a full color handheld that scan without targets.

Versatile and robust

EVA is one of the most tried and true scanners ever on the market. With a broad resolution range, full color, and no need for targets, the EVA can satisfy an enormous number of applications and has a reputation for durability

HD Mode

HD Mode improves the EVA in a number of ways. It more than doubles the resolution, enabling it to capture smaller features. It also reduces noise for cleaner results, and dramatically improves its ability to capture difficult surfaces and scan into recessed areas & tight spaces

HD Mode is a great example of Artec’s customer-centric development model. It was released as a software version update and it turned the EVA into twice the scanner it was before. Entirely for free.

HD Mode is also a perfect case study in how well-designed scanners resist obsolescence. HD mode came along years after the EVA was released and dramatically improved it without any changes to the hardware, much to the delight of its current owners. It demonstrates how optics currently on the market tend to have many years of untapped potential before the computer science catches up.
