The Shining3D Einstar 2 is a portable hybrid-light 3D scanner designed for wireless three-dimensional capture in reverse engineering, body scanning, heritage preservation and AR/VR content creation applications. It combines 17 parallel blue laser lines and an IR VCSEL emitter in a compact 420 g body with hot-swappable battery delivering up to 3 hours autonomy, 0.05 mm resolution and acquisition speed up to 4,800,000 points/s.
Hybrid light source: laser precision and infrared speed in one device
The Einstar 2 integrates two complementary scanning modes. The Laser HD mode projects 17 parallel blue laser lines capturing fine detail on small and medium objects, including deep holes up to Ø 1 cm and 2 cm depth. This proves especially useful on mechanical parts with internal cavities where other scanners lose data. Speed reaches 2,500,000 points/s at 90 fps.
The IR Rapid mode deploys an IR VCSEL emitter with higher-resolution cameras, reaching 4,800,000 points/s at 40 fps. This mode excels at scanning large objects — from sculptures to vehicle interiors — and delivers superior performance on black surfaces and in outdoor environments.
Direct capture of difficult surfaces: no spray, no prep
Thanks to its hybrid light source, the Einstar 2 directly captures black, metallic and reflective objects without scanning spray. This reduces preparation time and eliminates post-scan cleanup — a critical factor in production workflows handling multiple parts daily.
Operation in bright outdoor environments
Laser HD mode operates with ambient illumination up to 110,000 lux. IR Rapid mode functions up to 70,000 lux. In practice, this means scanning outdoor sculptures, architectural facades or vehicles in open parking lots without losing data quality. A dedicated outdoor mode adjusts sensor sensitivity for these conditions.
Quick specifications overview
| Minimum resolution | 0.05 mm (Laser HD) |
|---|---|
| Maximum speed | 4,800,000 points/s (IR Rapid) |
| Weight with battery | 420 g |
| Wireless autonomy | Up to 3 hours |
Truly wireless design with hot-swappable battery
The Einstar 2 operates completely wirelessly. A 5,500 mAh lithium-ion battery (3.6 V) provides up to 3 continuous hours of scanning. The battery is hot-swappable: removal and replacement takes seconds, enabling extended sessions without interruption. No external hub or data cable is needed during wireless scanning.
PC connection is established via the device's own Wi-Fi network (SSID: Einstar2_xxx). If Wi-Fi interference occurs in a specific environment, the included USB Type-C cable offers wired connection as an immediate alternative. Wired connection is mandatory for initial device activation and firmware updates.
Compact 420 g body optimized for extended sessions
With dimensions of 130 × 37 × 61 mm (H × D × W), the scanner fits in the palm. Weight of 420 g with battery (348 g without) reduces fatigue during extended full-body scans or large industrial parts digitization.
Realistic portrait scanning, safe for vision
Portrait mode uses infrared light, safe for subject eye safety. Full-body scan completes in approximately 60 seconds. Hair Mode improves capture of fine strands and hair details — critical for personalized figurines, digital avatars and medical applications.
The integrated 2.3-megapixel RGB camera captures full-color textures in real time. This is essential for artwork digitization, creating assets for virtual and augmented reality experiences, and heritage documentation where chromatic fidelity is mandatory.
Processing software: EXStar Hub
The Einstar 2 operates with EXStar Hub, a processing platform managing the complete workflow from data acquisition to model export. Tools include real-time data quality indicator, hybrid alignment (markers, geometry, texture), global markers, automatic plane detection, scan rewind, plane-cut tool, automatic hole-fill, 1-2-3 alignment, model measurement, texture adjustment and mesh simplification.
Data exports to STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF and ASC formats, compatible with most CAD, 3D printing and rendering software.
Windows and macOS compatibility
EXStar Hub is compatible with Windows 10/11 Pro (64-bit) and macOS. On Windows, Intel Core i7-13700H or higher processor with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card and 32 GB DDR5 RAM is recommended. On macOS, minimum requirement is MacBook Pro M1 or MacBook M4 with 16 GB RAM.
Professional and creative applications
- Reverse engineering and aftermarket spare parts sourcing
- Digital content creation for AR/VR and videogames
- Model preparation for 3D printing and personal fabrication
- Cultural heritage preservation and artistic documentation
- Body scanning for fashion, medicine and personalized figurines
Expert's tip: Calibrate the scanner before each work session if more than one week has passed since last calibration. EXStar Hub displays a warning at 7 days and urgent alert at 14 days. Keep the calibration plate clean and stored in its flannel bag; never use alcohol or chemicals to clean it. For full-body scans, always start with the face and complete that zone in a single pass to avoid alignment errors caused by muscle movement.

Frequently asked questions about the Shining3D Einstar 2
How does Einstar 2 differ from the original Einstar?
The second generation represents considerable advancement. It incorporates laser mode with 17 parallel lines to capture fine detail on small objects and enables scanning reflective surfaces without spray. Infrared mode tracking is more precise, and completely wireless design with integrated Wi-Fi offers greater movement freedom. Additionally, new EXStar Hub software significantly accelerates data processing and includes multiple additional tools.
What does it mean that Einstar 2 is "truly wireless"?
The scanner carries an integrated Wi-Fi module in its body, so no external adapters or hubs are needed for wireless connection. This reduces setup time. The entire scanning process occurs without cables. If Wi-Fi interference occurs in a specific environment, the device can immediately connect to the computer via included USB Type-C cable.
Does Einstar 2 work outdoors or with intense lighting?
Yes, the device is prepared for outdoor scanning. Laser HD mode maintains stable capture with ambient luminosity up to 110,000 lux, while IR Rapid mode supports up to 70,000 lux. This enables scanning large objects reliably in daylight, under industrial lamps or even with vehicle headlight illumination.
What advantage do 17 parallel laser lines offer versus other patterns?
The 17-line set provides optimal balance between speed and detail level. Compared to a 7-line pattern, it captures sufficient detail quality while expanding effective capture zone to medium objects, significantly reducing scan time. This configuration sits midway between parallel-line and cross-line systems, making Einstar 2 an economically viable alternative versus scanners with multiple independent laser sources.
What types and sizes of objects can Einstar 2 scan?
It ranges from tiny details of 5 mm up to expansive scenes of 10 m. Laser mode is optimized for small and medium objects, while infrared mode handles large-volume parts and extensive areas. Thanks to hybrid design, the scanner also works effectively on most complex materials, including black and reflective surfaces.
How long does the Einstar 2 battery last?
A hot-swappable battery provides up to 3 hours of continuous scanning. The package includes two batteries and a compartment charger, allowing one to be used while the other recharges. This system practically eliminates forced pauses due to power depletion.
