The Shining 3D EINSTAR 2 is a compact, portable 3D scanner with a hybrid light source that combines detailed scans and flexible applications in a single device. It combines 17 parallel blue laser lines (Laser HD) for precise detail capture with IR VCSEL (IR Rapid) for large-area, eye-safe scanning – ideal for different object sizes and materials.
Thanks to true wireless scanning with an integrated, replaceable battery (up to three hours) and a Wi-Fi module, the EINSTAR 2 can be used anywhere. For maximum stability, a USB Type-C cable connection is also available in case of Wi-Fi interference.
The EINSTAR 2 is suitable for users who require high-quality mobile 3D scanning. In the studio, in the workshop or on the go. The Laser HD mode allows small to medium-sized objects to be digitised in great detail, whilst the IR Rapid mode conveniently enables large objects or full-body scans (IR is eye-safe).
In reverse engineering, prototyping and product design, the EINSTAR 2 supports the rapid capture of real-world objects for further processing in CAD or 3D workflows. For art, culture and AR and VR content, full-colour capture is particularly useful, as the integrated RGB camera captures realistic colour textures.
The scanner also demonstrates its strengths outdoors: it is designed for dynamic lighting and, depending on the mode, can operate reliably at up to 110,000 lux (Laser HD) or 70,000 lux (IR Rapid).
Hybrid light source (Laser HD + IR Rapid)
Laser HD: 17 parallel blue laser lines for detailed scans
IR Rapid: IR VCSEL for large objects and eye-safe scanning
High scanning performance
The EINSTAR 2 delivers fast scans for efficient workflows: up to 2,500,000 points/s in Laser HD mode and up to 1,440,000 points/s in IR Rapid mode – for detailed as well as large-area scans.
Flexible working distances and fields of view
Working distance: 100–600 mm (Laser HD), 160–1400 mm (IR Rapid)
Max. field of view: 490 × 580 mm (Laser HD), 1170 × 1385 mm (IR Rapid)
Alignment modes for stable tracks
Global markers, features, texture and hybrid alignment – depending on the object and surface.
Compact and lightweight
Just 420 g (including battery) – ideal for longer scanning sessions.
Full-colour capture
2 MP × 2 3D camera resolution, 2.3 MP texture for colour models.
Common export formats
STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, ASC for seamless post-processing.
Laser classes and outdoor suitability
Laser HD: Class 2 | IR Rapid: Class 1: optimised for bright ambient light (see above for lux values).
The Shining 3D EINSTAR 2 is the right choice for anyone looking for a mobile universal scanner. Laser HD for precise details and IR Rapid for large objects, people and fast captures – including wireless freedom, colour textures and strong performance even outside the studio.
