11-13-2018: Shining 3D introduced the EinScan Pro 2X and EinScan Pro 2X Plus
Two multi-functional handheld 3D scanners
On November 13, 2018, Shining 3D launched two models of portable handheld 3D scanners – the EinScan Pro 2X and EinScan Pro 2X Plus. They were successors to the EinScan-Pro model, which had become one of Shining 3D’s most popular products since its introduction in 2015. These scanners solidified the Chinese company's position as a leading provider of affordable, high-quality 3D imaging devices.
The EinScan Pro 2X and 2X Plus were distinguished by their compact design and low weight, which made them easy to transport and set up. With the Handheld Rapid Scan mode, they could scan at a speed of up to 1.5 million points per second, which corresponded to a speed of 30 frames per second.
The scanners achieved high accuracy – in Fixed Scan Mode, single scans had an accuracy of up to 0.04 mm, while in handheld modes with markers, they achieved a volumetric accuracy of 0.05+0.3 mm/m. Additionally, they could capture exceptionally fine details with a minimum point distance of 0.02 mm.
The scanners also offered various operating modes, including Handheld Rapid Scan, Handheld HD Scan, and Fixed Scan with or without the use of a turntable. Users could utilize several alignment modes, such as feature alignment, marker alignment, and manual alignment. Additionally, the scanners had optional add-ons, such as the Color Pack, Industrial Pack, and HD Prime Pack, which enabled a variety of scanning applications.
Alongside the new scanners, Shining 3D also introduced EXScan Pro software, featuring a simple user interface. Shining 3D also launched the Solid Edge Shining 3D Edition, software developed in collaboration with Siemens PLM Software. Solid Edge provided tools for reverse engineering, generative design, simulation, and CAD design, thus integrating the full cycle from 3D digitization to 3D printing.
Shining 3D was founded in 2004 in China, specializing in 3D printing, 3D scanning, and software development technology. The company gained a reputation as one of the leaders in the 3D scanner market, offering innovative solutions for professionals across various industries, from engineering and medicine to design and education. However, for many years, it also developed 3D printers – from affordable FFF desktop-grade Einstart models to industrial SLA, SLS, and SLM machines. In 2021, the 3D printer segment was spun off from Shining 3D to form Eplus 3D – now a leading manufacturer of industrial 3D printing systems for polymer and metal powder.
