Shining 3D EinScan HX
TitleReliable 3D data with just one measuring device
The EinScan HX from Shining 3D is a hybrid hand-held scanner with numerous areas of application. The combination of blue stripe light and blue laser beams makes the EinScan HX a 3D scanner for every application.
It is characterized by high efficiency and reliable scanning results. Objects of different sizes, shapes and colors are captured with high precision in the shortest possible time.
TitleHybrid combination of blue laser and LED light
Play it safe
The combination of different measuring methods makes the hand-held scanner extremely versatile. The restrictions caused by materials and surfaces that are difficult to scan are minimized. Thanks to the EinScan HX scanner, you only need one device for measuring tasks that previously required at least two.
Stripe light scanning allows you to quickly capture suitable surfaces and geometries. However, if this reaches its limits with glossy or black surfaces, laser scanning can be used for accurate and complete 3D results.
TitleReliable results at high speed
The 3D scanner for industry
The EinScan HX is one of the most precise and high-resolution handheld scanners on the market. With its specifications, the HX meets most industrial requirements for reverse engineering and metrology. The highest resolution level offers point distances of 0.05mm with accuracies of up to 0.04mm.
The collection speed in rapid scan mode is 1,200,000 points per second. The speed for high-precision laser scanning is 480,000 points per second.
TitleSimple operation & comfortable handling
Achieve optimum scanning results even as a beginner
Despite the high-quality technology, the control and handling of the device is designed for simplicity. With its ergonomic design and very light weight, recording is child's play.
The software for recording and processing is equally suitable for beginners and advanced users. You can go from your scan to a high-quality mesh in just a few minutes.
TitleHigh-resolution color information
Capture highly accurate color scans
The integrated RGB camera supports high-resolution color capture during measurement.
The high quality of the images also makes it possible to align different scans based on the texture.
TitleA 3D scanner for different requirements
Thanks to its hybrid technology, the EinScan HX from Shining 3D can be used for a wide range of applications.
In many areas, the size and type of object to be scanned often varies, meaning that different measuring devices are required for different measurement objects. With the EinScan HX, however, you can master several applications with just one measuring device.
TitleAreas of application for the EinScan HX at a glance
- Automotive industry: quality control, inspection, reverse engineering, product design
- Shipbuilding: quality control, design
- Mechanical engineering
- Multimedia, 3D graphics and design: games, ergonomics, computer graphics (people scanning, facial expression scans)
- Medicine/medical technology: partial or full body scans, orthopaedics, prosthetics, seating moulds/foams, cosmetic/plastic surgery, post-traumatic treatment, training/sports
- Art and cultural assets: restoration, virtual museums, archives, catalogs
- Education & research
TitleIndustry & design
User-friendliness, speed and precision are the necessary characteristics when digitalizing elements from the mechanical engineering sector.
In combination with its versatility, the EinScan HX fulfills these characteristics and makes the detailed imaging of components a simple application. You will receive your highly accurate result within a few minutes.
TitleHealthcare
The Shining 3D EinScan HX is a perfect device for safe body scans. The optical detection is free of magnetic radiation or other harmful influences.
Thanks to the harmless measurement method, body parts or entire persons can be captured with high precision.
This makes the planning of prostheses or medical procedures more precise and faster.
TitleArt & cultural assets
The hand-held scanner is also used in archaeology and art. Recording rare or complex objects, such as sculptures, is particularly efficient and simple. The 3D data generated can then be used to reproduce these works, for example.
In addition, the creation of a digital library or a digital museum is an application that is becoming increasingly popular.
TitleSimple scanning with reliable results
The EinScan HX captures the shape and color of the measurement objects in real time. You simply point the scanner at the object to be measured and all relevant areas are captured.
The scanner's field of view is displayed in the associated software, making it very easy to follow the measurement.
A repetition rate of 20 images per second (Rapid Scan) makes the recording very dynamic. You move the scanner around the object like a video camera to capture it from all directions. There are various ways of linking individual images for the geometry information:
- Object geometry
- Marker points (measurement markers)
- Texture
- Hybrid alignment (object geometry and marker points)
TitleHow does scanning with the EinScan HX work?
Preparing the scanner
The EinScan HX can be set up, connected and ready to measure in just a few minutes. The supplied calibration plate can be used before each measurement to ensure that the results meet the highest level of accuracy. Calibration is automated and can be carried out within a maximum of 5 minutes.
Preparing the measurement object
Before you can start the measurement, make the project settings. When measuring in rapid scan mode, the measurement markers are not necessarily required. Alignment can also be carried out using object geometries or texture. A combination of geometry and measurement markers is also possible.
The laser scan can only be aligned with the measurement markers. The scanner always requires at least three known measurement markers in the field of view in order to be able to align the recorded geometry. If the markers are placed directly on the measurement object, you can also move the object during the measurement. As soon as you place the measurement markers on a base, for example, the position of the measurement object should no longer change.
Scanning the object
During recording, the software displays in real time which areas have already been recorded. The measurement can be paused at any time and continued at known connection points. Once you are satisfied with your results, the project can be finalized with just a few clicks.
Data export
You can then export the point cloud or create a high-quality mesh from the recorded measurement data.
Point clouds can currently be exported from the EinScan HX software as a list of coordinates. However, the meshing generated from this offers further export options. Common formats such as .OBJ, .STL, .PLY and others are possible.
