We still had the PC that Shining 3D had lent us for the FreeScan UE Pro review, with the following specifications: As you’d expect from so many generations of products, they just keep getting better all around. In terms of performance and software, there’s always been constant evolution over the years, and we noticed an even bigger step up when reviewing the HX. Automatic alignment is an incredible feature at such a low price, and the best part is that it worked perfectly. Less than 30 seconds after launching the auto-align feature, we obtained the 3D mesh.

Moving on to a larger object, a sculpture that is 59 cm high. EinScan-SE took about 35 minutes to complete the scan, while Einstar took only 3 minutes because it has a larger scanning range.

The Einstar comes in, aside from the cardboard box, a very practical carrying case. It safely stores the scanner, its cables, the calibration case, and markers. It’s the first time we see so much effort put into affordable 3D scanner accessories. Even some more expensive scanners don’t have such a nice protective case. While it was our first time reviewing a product from the FreeScan series, the Einstar is our fifth review from the EinScan line. We tested the EinScan-Pro (2016), the EinScan-SP (2017), the EinScan Pro 2X Plus (2019), and the hybrid laser and structured light EinScan HX (2020).

Format (OBJ): Include texture but separated, data type is mesh, texture and matching file, saves as Scan,obj&jpg&mtl, recommended for artistic applications, 3D rendering and mesh editing. Texture remapping worked really well on the Khmer lion statue we scanned, given the random “aging” spots of the material. This would be harder to use on something more precise, like a globe map or anything with writings, which would likely end up distorted (since the software stretches the textures onto areas that didn’t previously exist). EINSTAR, equipped with 3 infrared VCSEL projectors, 2 stereo depth cameras, and 1 RGB color camera, can easily capture stable and clear details at fast pace providing high-quality data output with color texture. It is the perfect tool for getting started with 3D scanning or experiencing 3D modeling easily and efficiently. The process was really easy, too, and took under 10 minutes for both calibration types: one regarding geometrical precision and the other dedicated to colors.

Customer Reviews

Once you’ve chosen your scanning mode and resolution, you can start the scanning process by pressing the button at the top of the scanner. Preview step to adjust settings Accurate results require multiple scans of the calibration artifacts (usually a certified ball bar) at different angles under ideal environmental conditions according to the VDI/VDE 2634 standard. Each scanner in the EinScan Pro Series, EinScan H Series follows the same standards to ensure accuracy is controlled within the listed values. We haven’t yet explored every single option, but it has everything a typical scan mesh editor would offer, like smoothing and hole filling. Just as with professional 3D scanner software, you can choose to manually align them by selecting three common features between the two, or have the software automatically align them.
