How do the different Shining3D EinScan models compare, especially in terms of scanning accuracy?

At Additive Plus, we carry several EinScan models. For example: The EinScan Pro 2X V2 offers around 0.045 mm accuracy in handheld high‑definition mode. The EinScan HX / HX2 uses hybrid laser + LED and achieves about 0.04 mm accuracy in laser mode. The EinScan H2 has two modes: white‑light (~0.05 mm) and IR (~0.1 mm). This lets you pick a scanner based on precision needs.

Which Shining3D scanner is best for dental or medical‑application scanning?

Additive Plus recommends the EinScan HX or HX2 for dental and medical workflows. Their laser mode performs exceptionally well on reflective or shiny surfaces, like teeth, and delivers high-detail scans (~0.04 mm), ideal for prosthetics, digital dentistry, or anatomical modeling.

What software do Shining3D scanners use, and which file formats are supported?

Additive Plus supports the use of EXScan / EXScan Pro software for EinScan scanners. These scanners can export a variety of file formats, including STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, P3, and 3MF, making integration into CAD, inspection, or medical‑design software seamless.

How do I calibrate and maintain a Shining3D handheld scanner?

Additive Plus recommends the following maintenance routine: Calibrate using the factory-supplied calibration board whenever you set the scanner up, move it, or notice reduced accuracy. Clean the calibration board gently with water only — avoid solvents or harsh chemicals. Recalibrate periodically (for daily users, we suggest at least twice a week) to maintain optimal scan precision.

Where can I buy refurbished Shining3D scanners, and what warranty options are available?

Through Additive Plus, we can connect you with vetted distributors that offer refurbished EinScan scanners. Many of these units come with 6‑ to 12‑month warranties, depending on the refurbisher and available service plans. Additive Plus can help you verify service history and warranty coverage prior to purchase.
