(Exact Metrology: Cincinnati) -- For years, engineers have anticipated the day when a full-color 3-D scanner can be picked up, plugged into a laptop computer, and ready to use. The Eva 3D Scanner from Artec now offers this.

Because Eva eliminates any need for marking or calibration, you’ve got a lightweight, portable 3-D scanning solution in the palm of your hand that can capture high-quality data in real time, at up to 16 frames every second or 300,000 points of data. This kind of instantaneous frame alignment has exciting applications for industries such as:
• Reverse engineering
• Design
• Heritage preservation
• Medical and biomechanical research

Beyond its remarkable speed and accuracy, the Artec scanner can capture motion in 3-D. The part and scanner move simultaneously, so there’s no need to position it on one  stationary place to get exceptional motion capture. With its ergonomic design and available battery, Eva can be operated in a variety of remote environments.
