TitleHow the EINSTAR handheld scanner works
The EINSTAR handheld scanner from Shining3D combines advanced technology and user-friendly operation to provide you with an outstanding 3D scanning experience.
Whether you need detailed scans of industrial components, architectural structures or artistic objects, the EINSTAR provides you with precise and high-resolution 3D data in a few simple steps.
Title1. Preparation & calibration
Before you start scanning, you can calibrate the scanner with just a few clicks to ensure maximum precision.
Thanks to its compact design and ergonomic handle, the EINSTAR is quickly ready for use and adapts easily to your working environment, whether in the office or on site.
Title2. Capture an object
The scanner captures objects in real time by scanning the surface using several high-resolution cameras and lasers.
These sensors measure millions of points on the surface of the object and convert them into a detailed 3D point cloud model.
The high scanning speed of up to 14 fps enables fast and smooth data capture without any loss of quality.
Title3. Capture colors 6 textures
In addition to accurately capturing the geometry, the EINSTAR also offers the ability to capture color and texture data of the object.
This is particularly valuable for applications where realistic and visually appealing 3D models are required, such as in the art sector or when capturing cultural assets.
Title4. Data processing in real-time
During the scan, the captured point cloud is processed in real time in the associated Shining3D software.
The intuitive user interface allows you to directly monitor and adjust the progress of the scan.
The software smoothes and optimizes the data to provide you with a finished 3D model that can be processed or exported immediately.
Title5. Export & post-process data
Once the scan is complete, you can export the data in various 3D formats such as OBJ, STL or PLY.
These formats can be seamlessly imported into 3D modeling programs or CAD software, where you can use your 3D models for further applications such as design, prototyping or reverse engineering.
