Shining 3D EinScan HX 3D Scanner Overview

In recent years, 3D scanning technology has quickly become more accessible and inexpensive, leading to new technologies and equipment on the market. One of the manufacturers leading the development of 3D scanning technology is Shining 3D.

Introduction

Shining 3D has introduced a device that greatly expands the field of 3D scanning by combining two different light sources in its latest Shining 3D EinScan HX scanner (https://top3dshop.com/blog/shining-3d-einscan-hx-3d-scanner-review).

The hybrid light source provides fast 3D scanning through a combination of LED light and laser scanning mode, with the latter being less sensitive to ambient light and working better on reflective and dark surfaces.

According to Shining 3D, the EinScan HX is a high-performance, easy-to-use and portable 3D scanner that can be used on a wide range of materials to meet a variety of user needs.

And by and large the reps don’t lie, the EinScan HX really does deliver everything they say it does. The first thing that catches the eye, so to speak, is portability. I took it and started scanning. The ergonomics are great and it is easy to operate the scanner with one hand.

With its rather democratic price, the EinScan HX 3D scanner makes my industrial quality scanning much more accessible.

Laser and LEDs

Other scanners may encounter limitations on some materials and applications, these points depend on the light source used in the scanner. The Shining 3D EinScan HX solves this problem by using two light sources, a blue laser and an LED. This hybrid light solution allows the scanner to be used for a wider range of objects and allows it to scan black or reflective surfaces.

Along with two light sources, the EinScan HX has two corresponding scanning modes – accelerated scanning and laser scanning. During accelerated scanning, blue LEDs are used, this mode allows fast scanning without marker preparation. During laser scanning mode, the blue laser comes into play. Less sensitive to ambient light, laser scanning provides better performance when scanning reflective, dark and colored surfaces. Multiple blue laser crosses in laser scan mode ensure that reflective surfaces are properly detected.

In addition to two different scanning modes, the built-in texture camera supports full-color data acquisition, allowing the EinScan HX to simultaneously capture high-quality surface data and excellent color details of objects. With a built-in color camera, the scanner supports full-color texture acquisition as well as texture capture and tracking.

High speed and accuracy

The scanner can scan most objects within minutes. The EinScan HX can scan up to 1,200,000 points per second at 20 fps in Quick Scan Mode and up to 480,000 points per second in Laser Scan Mode at 55 fps. With a minimum point spacing of 0.05 mm in laser scanning mode, the scanner can achieve an accuracy of 0.04 mm, which meets most industrial application requirements.

Seamless scanning

During scanning, you can move the scanner as well as the object being scanned, because the EinScan HX provides a seamless scan of any object. The scanner software is able to compensate for small movements of the object or person during digitization.

“Plug-and-Play.

Despite its capabilities and professional application, the EinScan HX has a “plug-and-play” design and user-friendly software that makes it noticeably easy to use for both beginners and experts in 3D scanning.

The 3D scanner comes with Solid Edge and Geomagic Essentials software. Geomagic Essentials is convenient and easy software for transferring 3D scanning results to the most popular computer aided design systems.

Solid Edge is a powerful 3D design tool. This program offers a comprehensive approach and can be used at any stage of work.

Both programs are adapted for use with the EinScan HX and will help you in all phases of your work. But Geomagic Essential comes at a extra cost.


Along with network connectivity, the EinScan HX features an ergonomic design for comfortable scanning. The EinScan weighs only 710 g, which is more than enough to carry around with you for extended periods of time.

The bottom line

Of course these technologies cost a lot of money, but it’s not over yet. After all, an ordinary home computer used to cost a lot of money too.

EinScan HX provides just that industrial strength and quality without making you spend hours on tutorials on YouTube. It’s easy to use, convenient, and stunningly accurate.
