EinScan Rigil Lite is an all-in-one laser 3D scanner from the Rigil series, built for professional work without a mandatory laptop. It combines blue laser scanning, IR VCSEL, onboard computing, local storage and a 6.4-inch 2K AMOLED touchscreen, so the operator can scan, process, measure and export directly on the device or switch to a computer for heavier projects.
This product is available in two selectable versions: Standard and Limited Edition. The scanning optics, laser modes, IR mode, cameras, touchscreen, batteries, dimensions and supported file formats are the same. The difference is RAM and SSD storage, which matters for standalone processing, larger projects and keeping more scan data locally.
Standard vs Limited Edition: what is the real difference?
| Version | RAM | Local storage | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 24 GB LPDDR5 | 64 GB eMMC + 512 GB SSD | The practical choice if you want a professional all-in-one 3D scanner at a lower price and mainly work with medium-sized objects, demonstrations, training, prototypes, service work and standard projects for 3D printing or CAD preparation. |
| Limited Edition | 32 GB LPDDR5 | 64 GB eMMC + 1 TB SSD | The better choice for larger projects, more local scans, heavier standalone processing, longer field sessions and teams that want more reserve without constantly relying on a computer. |
Important: Standard is not a weaker scanner. It uses the same 17+17 crossed blue laser lines, 7 parallel blue laser lines, IR VCSEL, 5 MP texture camera and scan modes. Limited Edition adds more RAM and twice the SSD storage, which mainly helps with larger datasets and on-device processing.
Key advantages
- Standalone workflow - scan, process and export directly on the device, without a mandatory PC.
- Hybrid light source - 17+17 crossed blue laser lines, 7 parallel blue laser lines and IR VCSEL.
- Laser HD mode - up to 0.05 mm resolution for detailed mechanical parts, edges and complex surfaces.
- IR Rapid mode - up to 16,000,000 points/s for faster coverage of medium and large objects, organic shapes and portrait scanning.
- 5 MP texture camera - full-color models for visualization, documentation and presentations.
- Three work modes - Standalone, PC-Wireless and PC-Wired, depending on project size and computing needs.
Who is EinScan Rigil Lite for?
EinScan Rigil Lite is a strong fit for engineering teams, workshops, product designers, prototyping labs, education centers and mobile teams that need a professional 3D scanner without a heavy setup. It is especially useful for automotive and motorcycle components, interior parts, sculptures, medium-sized products, training demonstrations and fast model preparation for 3D printing or CAD.
Choose Standard if your projects are mostly typical scanner workflows and you want the best price-to-capability balance. Choose Limited Edition if you often work in the field, keep many scans locally or process larger and heavier projects directly on the device.
Scanning modes and data quality
In Laser HD mode, the scanner uses 17+17 crossed blue laser lines for fast coverage and stable tracking, plus 7 parallel blue laser lines for areas where fine detail matters. This lets you capture the overall shape efficiently and then focus on edges, transitions and complex contours.
IR Rapid uses IR VCSEL for wide coverage and smoother work with larger objects, organic forms and portraits. Both Standard and Limited Edition support the same scanning modes, the same 5 MP texture camera and the same output formats.
Workflow: standalone or with a computer
The standalone workflow is the main operational advantage of Rigil Lite: calibration, scanning, data review, editing, measurement and export can happen on the device. For more complex scenes, you can move to PC-Wireless or PC-Wired mode without changing the project logic.
- Standalone - fastest setup and the least equipment in the field.
- PC-Wireless - convenient transition to a computer when more computing power is needed.
- PC-Wired - the more stable choice in difficult network conditions or for heavier tasks.
Software and professional use
EinScan Rigil Lite works with the EinScan App, EXScan Rigil and EXModel ecosystem. This covers scanning, point cloud and mesh editing, alignment, measurement, reverse engineering preparation and export into the next CAD, CAM or 3D printing step.
For difficult surfaces - transparent, glossy, very dark or low-feature objects - preparation still matters: markers, suitable exposure, stable positioning and scanning spray when needed. This is a normal constraint in professional 3D scanning, not a limitation unique to this model.
