Shining 3D EInstar EZ

The Shining 3D Einstar EZ is a compact 3D scanner with two scanning modes (Laser HD and IR Rapid), AI tracking and cloud-based 3D Gaussian Splatting. The scanner unit weighs just 125 g, measures 126 x 30 x 37 mm and connects to a smartphone, tablet or laptop via USB-C or Wi-Fi 6.

► Einstar EZ or EZ GO?

The EZ GO combines the scanner (EZ) with the battery grip (Go). The grip weighs 163 g and features a 5,400 mAh battery for up to two hours of scanning, plus two USB-C ports. Together, the scanner and grip weigh 288 g. The Einstar EZ is the scanner-only option, weighing 125 g, for anyone who does not need accessories attached to the device.

125 grams of scanning technology in a slim housing

The EZ is the standalone scanner unit from the EZ GO range. Without the grip, it weighs 125 g. At just 30 mm deep and 37 mm high, it slips easily into a bag or pocket. Its compact housing contains two 1.3 MP depth cameras, a 2 MP texture camera, a blue laser and an infrared VCSEL projector.

Laser HD and IR Rapid: detail or speed

In Laser HD mode, the scanner uses a blue laser to capture fine details down to 0.05 mm at 1,150,000 points per second, with a working distance of 160 to 550 mm. IR Rapid uses infrared VCSEL technology to capture 6,550,000 points per second at distances of 160 to 800 mm, covering a scanning area of up to 610 x 660 mm. Frame rates reach up to 60 fps.

• 15+15 crossed lines and a single line for surfaces and deep holes: The 15+15 crossed laser lines capture large surfaces quickly while maintaining stable tracking. The single laser line captures details inside grooves, recesses and deep holes, supporting depth-to-diameter ratios of up to 4:1.

• Infrared VCSEL for scanning sculptures, furniture and people: IR mode is suitable for large, flat surfaces with few features, sculptures, household objects and human body scanning.

Marker-free or Super Hybrid scanning

Both scanning modes support marker-free scanning. For greater control, several alignment modes are available: feature, marker, hybrid, texture and global marker alignment in IR mode; and feature, marker, hybrid and global marker alignment in laser mode.

AI tracking and background removal

The AI tracking algorithm adapts detection, positioning and tracking to the object and its movement. This helps reduce tracking loss, misalignment and accumulated drift. AI also separates the object from the background in real time, reducing post-processing work.

Cloud-based 3D Gaussian Splatting

With 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), the scanner combines image data from multiple viewpoints with geometric guidance from a high-quality 3D scan. This produces lifelike models with rich colours and fine details. Processing takes place in the cloud, reducing the computing power required on your device.

USB-C or Wi-Fi 6

The scanner features a USB-C port and Wi-Fi 6. After the initial setup, it saves your connection profile, so you can simply switch it on and start scanning. According to the manufacturer, a wired connection enables significantly faster scanning.

Outdoor scanning at up to 80,000 lux

An integrated dual-channel filter enables scanning in ambient light levels of up to 80,000 lux without an additional filter.

EXStar Mobile, EXStar Hub and ShiningSpace

EXStar Mobile is the iOS and Android app for scanning, processing and managing scans on the move. EXStar Hub runs on Windows and macOS. EXModel supports reverse engineering, EXMeasure provides measurement tools, and ShiningSpace lets you store and share your scans. Export formats include STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF and ASC.
