SHINING 3D Launches EinScan Trak Wireless Scanning System with 0.05 mm Accuracy

en.Wedoany.com Reported - SHINING 3D has released the EinScan Trak wireless 3D scanning system, designed for professional scanning applications. The system combines optical tracking with a detachable handheld scanner, supporting dual-mode operation that allows switching between whole-object scanning of large items and capture of local details, reducing the time spent on marker placement and equipment preparation in large-scale scanning projects.

3D scanning of large objects typically requires multiple devices to handle different tasks, and marker placement and equipment setup can be time-consuming. The EinScan Trak integrates tracking mode and handheld scanner mode into a single system. In tracking mode, the spherical scanner works wirelessly with the tracker, making it suitable for medium-to-large objects such as car bodies, aftermarket modifications, speedboats, and private yachts. In handheld scanner mode, the scanner can be detached and used independently for small mechanical parts, deep cavities, narrow spaces, and other hard-to-reach areas. Both modes can be switched within the same project to support complete data capture and workflow flexibility.

The system hardware includes an optical tracker and a spherical scanner module. The spherical scanner module houses a detachable handheld scanner equipped with two 2MP depth cameras and one 5MP texture camera, enabling simultaneous capture of geometric and color data. The tracker is also equipped with a 5MP camera for spatial capture and tracking. The laser projection system includes three configurations: crossed laser lines, parallel laser lines, and single laser line.

The three blue laser modes correspond to different scanning requirements. The crossed laser line mode uses a 19+19 crossed laser line projector, designed for high-speed scanning and efficient data capture, acquiring more data per frame. The 7 parallel laser line mode is used to capture sharp edges and fine details, suitable for reverse engineering, mechanical parts, and measurement workflows. The single laser line mode targets hard-to-reach geometries such as deep holes, narrow channels, and internal structures.

Both wireless and wired operation are supported. The high-capacity battery and Wi-Fi 6 communication module enable the system to connect via a standalone LAN and automatically pair at startup, with a wireless scanning range of up to 4 meters. Multi-project alignment supports merging datasets from different tracker positions based on features, without the need to place markers on the object. The hybrid leap function allows repositioning of the tracker, requiring four markers per tracker position, thereby extending the effective scanning range for large-area digitization. The system achieves a scanning speed of up to 2,630,000 points per second.

Marker placement is one of the time-consuming steps in 3D scanning. In fields such as classic vehicle restoration, cultural heritage preservation, and artwork digitization, applying markers may also be prohibited due to the nature or value of the object. In tracking mode, the EinScan Trak monitors the position of the spherical scanner using retro-reflective markers, without relying on markers on the object surface or continuous geometric features. In handheld scanner mode, the scanner relies on rich, non-repetitive surface features for tracking and alignment, also without the need for additional markers. For applications requiring higher scanning detail, global markers remain available as an option.

The EinScan Trak supports fusing large-area coverage with local detail within a single project. Users can switch between different resolutions during the scanning process and apply local resolution to areas requiring more detail. The scanning range reaches 4 meters, with resolution as fine as 0.05 mm. Data captured in tracking mode and scanner mode can be merged within the same project, compatible with different laser modes, helping to reduce redundant data and produce a complete, consistent 3D model.

The system is designed for real-world scanning environments and can handle black materials, reflective finishes, metal parts, and highly reflective surfaces such as automotive wheels, helping to reduce data loss and the need for surface preparation. It supports indoor and outdoor scanning, with outdoor lighting conditions up to 110,000 lux. Battery life is 5.5 hours in tracking mode and 3.5 hours in handheld scanner mode, with hot-swappable batteries supporting longer scanning sessions. The carbon fiber structure provides durability while maintaining portability, facilitating transport and on-site deployment.

The 5MP texture camera enables the system to simultaneously capture the geometry and color texture of objects. This allows users to preserve both the shape and visual appearance of the subject, making it suitable for cultural heritage preservation, museums, scientific research, education, and digital archiving.

The measurement workflow is handled by the EXMeasure software. It provides multiple model alignment methods and supports the creation of features such as points, lines, planes, cylinders, and spheres. It supports color map comparison between reference and measurement models, as well as GD&T inspection functions including flatness, parallelism, and cylindricity. Users can measure angles, areas, and volumes, or simulate caliper measurements of dimensions such as diameters and lengths, and communicate measurement results through visual reports to support quality control and engineering verification.

The EinScan Trak integrates with the EXModel reverse engineering software, which supports mesh editing, coordinate alignment, primitive extraction, cross-sections, 2D/3D sketches, freeform surface modeling, automatic surfacing, and feature-based reconstruction. Users can convert scanned meshes into CAD-ready geometry, create references from geometric elements, and build surfaces and contours for subsequent design. Standard CAD export and feature transfer support reverse engineering, design optimization, and production verification.

The EinScan Trak covers applications including reverse engineering, automotive customization, cultural heritage preservation, engineering design, and digitization of large objects. It is also suitable for industry-specific customization, product and industrial design, and engineering measurement needs. Thanks to its ability to capture geometric and color data simultaneously, it can also be used for creating digital content assets for AR and VR, as well as art digitization, education, and scientific research.
