True Wireless

EINSTAR 2 features a swappable built-in battery that provides up to 3 hours of uninterrupted scanning, giving you true portability with no cable limits or extra hub required—scan anytime, anywhere inspiration strikes.

*cable connection also available if Wi-Fi interference occurs.

Palm-Sized Body

Compact, lightweight, and engineered for comfort. With a redesigned structure and reduced weight (only 420g), it’s your ideal scanning companion on-the-go.

No Spray, No Delay

EINSTAR 2 adapts to a wide range of materials, it can scan black or reflective objects directly, no spray required. Save time, stay clean, and get accurate results instantly.

Take It Outside

With robust performance in dynamic lighting and complex environments, EINSTAR 2 lets you take reliable 3D capture beyond the studio walls. Take it outside, your data stays sharp. Laser HD mode works up to 110,000 Lux and IR Rapid mode up to 70,000 Lux for reliable scanning even in bright light environment.

Lifelike Portrait Scanning

The infrared light is eye-safe with comfortable scanning experience and can capture full body data in just 60 seconds.

Realism You Can See

Integrated RGB camera captures vivid, true-to-life color for every scan. It’s suitable for scanning art and crafting immersive VR/AR experiences.

EXStar Hub:
Next-Gen Software

EXStar Hub is an intuitive software platform for EINSTAR Rockit and EINSTAR 2. It streamlines workflows through a unified interface, reduces system load, and improves performance, allowing faster scanning, greater mobility, and lower operating costs.

What You Can Achieve with Our Scanners

Discover how integrating our scanners into your workflow can enhance efficiency and help you achieve remarkable results.

3D Printing & Personal Manufacturing

EINSTAR 2 is the perfect first 3D scanner for anyone in 3D printing and personal manufacturing. Its hybrid light source effortlessly captures objects of all sizes and materials—from detailed prototypes to larger projects—delivering high-quality, print-ready data. The intuitive EXStar Hub software with seamless integration to EXModel for easy repair and the SHINING 3D platform for sharing, it simplifies the entire process from scan to print. No complex setup or prior experience is needed—just a quick, reliable way to bring your physical ideas into the digital world and back again as finished prints.

Automotive Aftermarket & Engineering

EINSTAR 2 brings unmatched flexibility to the automotive workshop with its true wireless design, ideal for scanning in tight or complex environments like engine bays and interior cabins. Its 17 parallel laser lines capture sharp edges and fine details with precision, making it perfectly suited for reverse engineering, part modification, and custom fabrication. In addition,with its smooth tracking, rapid scanning speeds, and extended battery life and lightweight, compact form factor ensures comfortable handling during long sessions, delivering professional-grade 3D data that streamlines design, analysis, and fitment validation—all with studio-level results on the shop floor.

Cultural Creation & Art Customization

EINSTAR 2 empowers artists and cultural creators with full-color 3D scanning in both laser and infrared modes, capturing true-to-life textures and details across a wide variety of objects. Combined with its completely wireless operation and exceptional outdoor performance, it breaks free from traditional studio limits, enabling scanning in museums, public spaces, and natural environments. It’s ready for interactive art, AR/VR experiences, archival, and personalized customization.

EXModel Personal

Effortless Interaction

The EXModel Personal is seamlessly integrated with EXStar Hub software. After scanning, you can transfer the mesh data to EXModel Personal with a single click, making the transition from scan to design even easier.

Mesh Editing

EXModel Personal’s mesh editing tools are simple to use and make it easy to reduce data size while maintaining accuracy. You can easily fill in holes and remove mesh outliers to easily create watertight meshes for 3D printing or reverse engineering.

Primitives Extraction

EXModel Personal quickly reconstructs planes, cylinders, cones, and spheres. Additionally, create reference geometries like lines and points for use in aligning meshes to the world coordinate system or to other scans.

3D Sketching & Fill Surface

Draw freeform curves directly on the reference mesh and create blended curves ready for future use, including filled surfaces, free forms from 3D sketches, or any other surface manipulation. You can also create bounded surfaces from 3D sketches and get the best base shapes for your reference data for more accurate results.

Constrained 2D Sketching

Use the dimensioning and constraint tools to create accurate sketches like in any other CAD package. Interactive cutting allows users to extract reference points for 2D sketches. Interactive creation can collaborate with world or CAD planes, or even cut surfaces of aligned curves. For even more power and efficiency, users can create multiple cutting surfaces at once.

Comparison & Analysis

With EXModel Personal software, after creating features based on existing mesh, the comparison and analysis function can be used to monitor the real-time error between the newly created model and the original scanned mesh. At the same time, custom tolerance values can be dynamically adjusted, which is very convenient and intuitive.
