What your scanning team actually checks
A watertight mesh you can use
EXScan post-processes the scan in place — clean, fill holes, simplify, smooth, sharpen, and align texture — then exports STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, 3MF, and P3. The mesh leaves ready for reverse engineering, inspection, or printing, not as a raw point cloud you still have to repair elsewhere.

About this product
SHINING3D EXScan is the versatile scanning software built for EinScan series 3D scanners. It guides data capture step by step, aligns and cleans the scan, and turns raw point data into a watertight, print-ready mesh — then exports STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, 3MF, and P3 for reverse engineering, inspection, or 3D printing.
Why engineers choose EXScan
A guided path from a raw scan to a clean, manufacturable mesh.
Guided capture, fewer restarts
Step-by-step guidance walks each scan, and Scan Rewind rolls back up to 200 frames when tracking drifts — so a misalignment is a quick rewind, not a full re-scan.
See data quality as you scan
A live, color-coded data-quality indicator flags thin coverage (red) against solid data (green) in real time, and Auto Cutting Plane drops the table surface automatically during preview.
Full mesh post-processing
Align, clean, fill holes, simplify, smooth, sharpen, and map texture in one place, with variable point distance to set point density — the mesh leaves EXScan ready to use.
Open formats, one-click handoff
Export STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, 3MF, and P3, and pass data straight into EXModel, Geomagic, or Solid Edge SHINING 3D Edition — no format gymnastics between tools.
How Additive Plus delivers EXScan
Licensed, set up, and supported alongside your EinScan scanner.
Step 01
License & install
We issue the EXScan build that matches your EinScan scanner and get it licensed and installed alongside the hardware.
Step 02
Train & workflow
Onboarding on capture, alignment, mesh cleanup, and export into your reverse-engineering or inspection pipeline — so your team produces usable meshes from day one.
Step 03
Support that answers
Questions on a tricky scan, an alignment, or an export setting go to engineers who run this software. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
From Scan to Clean, Print-Ready Mesh
EXScan drives the full capture-to-mesh workflow. Step-by-step guidance and Scan Rewind keep capture on track, then post-processing tools — cleaning, hole filling, data simplification, smoothing, sharpening, and texture alignment — turn the raw scan into a watertight mesh. Variable point distance controls point density, and the finished model exports in every common mesh format. See the full feature list below.
One Software for the EinScan Family
EXScan is the unified scanning environment for EinScan hardware, shipped in scanner-matched builds — EXScan Pro for the handheld Pro 2X and Pro HD, EXScan S for the SE and SP desktop scanners, plus EXScan H, HX, and C builds for their respective devices. Each shares the same capture, alignment, and mesh-editing workflow. Use and updates are provided with the scanner; Additive Plus matches and licenses the right build for your device.

Common questions

What is EXScan and what does it do?
EXScan is Shining 3D's scanning software for EinScan series 3D scanners. It guides data capture, aligns and registers scans, and post-processes the result — cleaning, hole filling, smoothing, sharpening, and texture — into a watertight mesh. EXScan exports STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, 3MF, and P3, so a physical part scanned on an EinScan device becomes a ready-to-use 3D model for reverse engineering, inspection, or 3D printing.
Which scanners does EXScan work with?
EXScan is built for the EinScan series and ships in scanner-matched builds — EXScan Pro for the handheld Pro 2X and Pro HD, EXScan S for the SE and SP desktop scanners, and EXScan H, HX, and C builds for those devices. Each shares the same capture, alignment, and mesh-editing workflow. Additive Plus matches and licenses the correct EXScan build for your specific EinScan scanner.
What file formats does EXScan export?
EXScan exports STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, 3MF, and P3. STL and 3MF give you a watertight model for 3D printing, while OBJ and PLY carry texture and color where the scanner supports it. These formats import into standard reverse-engineering, inspection, and CAD packages, and pass directly into EXModel, Geomagic, or Solid Edge SHINING 3D Edition.
What post-processing can EXScan do to a scan?
EXScan includes a full mesh-editing toolset: cleaning stray data, hole filling, data simplification, smoothing, sharpening, and texture alignment. Variable point distance sets point-cloud density, and Auto Cutting Plane removes the table surface during preview. The result is a watertight, print-ready mesh produced inside EXScan — no separate cleanup tool required before export.
What is Scan Rewind and how does it help?
Scan Rewind lets you roll a scan back up to 200 frames when tracking drifts or a misalignment appears, so you continue from a good point instead of starting over. Combined with EXScan's step-by-step guidance and a live, color-coded data-quality indicator that flags thin coverage as you scan, it cuts re-scans and keeps capture productive, especially on complex or reflective parts.
What PC and operating system does EXScan need?
EXScan runs on 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 and needs an NVIDIA CUDA-capable GPU — at least 960 CUDA cores for desktop scanners and 1280 for handheld scanners — with 8 GB of RAM or more and an Intel Core i5 (3rd generation) or newer CPU; Intel Core is recommended over Xeon. Additive Plus confirms the right PC specification for your scanner before you buy.
How is EXScan licensed and delivered?
EXScan is delivered as a licensed download and issued to order with your EinScan scanner; use and software updates are provided with the hardware. We match the correct scanner-specific build, license it, install it, and onboard your team on the capture-to-export workflow. Contact us and we will confirm the configuration for your device and your reverse-engineering or inspection pipeline.
