Einstar - Powered By Shining3D
The EinStar series from SHINING 3D combines ease of use with professional-grade performance for accurate 3D scanning in design, manufacturing, and education. Each model utilises advanced blue-laser or hybrid-light systems to ensure precise surface capture on complex, reflective, or textured objects. From the EinStar 2’s wireless mobility to the Rockit’s deep-hole scanning and the Vega’s full-colour capture, the lineup provides dependable tools for reverse engineering, prototyping, and inspection workflows.
EINSTAR 2 — Wireless Hybrid-Light Handheld Scanner
EinStar 2 combines a blue-laser array for high-detail scanning with an IR VCSEL mode for rapid capture and surface flexibility. Lightweight with a swappable battery, it’s built for mobile workflows across design, inspection, and education.
- Hybrid light: blue-laser (Laser HD) + IR VCSEL (Rapid)
- Stable capture on dark/reflective materials
- Wireless operation with swappable battery
- Sub-millimetre resolution with fast throughput
EINSTAR Rockit — Crossed 19×19 Blue-Laser Grid Scanner
Rockit uses a dense 19 × 19 crossed blue-laser grid for robust tracking and detailed reconstruction, especially on black or reflective surfaces. Its optical path and processing are tuned for deep-hole scanning and recessed features.
- 38-line crossed grid (19 × 19) for dense surface coverage
- Optimised for deep-hole and cavity capture
- IR VCSEL mode for large objects and rapid coverage
- Ideal for reverse-engineering, automotive, and prototyping
EINSTAR VEGA — Colour Capture & Flexible Range Scanner
VEGA delivers detailed geometry with rich texture capture and an adjustable scan range for different object sizes. A practical choice for visualisation, digital assets, and general-purpose design workflows.
- Accurate geometry with vivid colour textures
- Adjustable scanning distance / FOV for varied parts
- Good results on common industrial and consumer materials
- Straightforward software workflow and export formats
EINSTAR — Original Handheld Scanner
The original EinStar remains a reliable entry into handheld scanning for everyday tasks. It offers accessible operation and solid results for general design reference, education, and light reverse-engineering.
- Good baseline accuracy and point density for common parts
- Stable capture with straightforward setup
- Texture support for asset and visual workflows
- Affordable route into handheld scanning
