About this product
The Shining 3D EinScan HX2 is a hybrid handheld 3D scanner that pairs 13 crossed blue laser lines with a blue LED light source in one device — switching between up to 0.04 mm laser accuracy and full-color LED capture without changing scanners.
Why engineers choose the EinScan HX2
Two light sources, one scanner, no hardware swap mid-project.
Dual light source in one scanner
Switch between 13 crossed blue laser lines for fine-detail metrology and a blue LED for full-color texture capture — one device covers both without swapping hardware.
Metrology-grade accuracy
Up to 0.04 mm accuracy and 0.04 + 0.06 mm/m volumetric accuracy in Laser Scan mode — traceable numbers for QC sign-off, not marketing estimates. See full specifications below.
High-speed capture
Up to 1,600,000 points/s at 120 FPS in Laser Scan mode, with feature, marker, texture, and hybrid alignment options across both light sources.
Compact and lightweight
At 745 g and powered over USB 3.0, the HX2 stays maneuverable through long inspection and reverse-engineering sessions without a battery to manage.
How Additive Plus delivers your HX2
Calibrated, trained, and supported by engineers who scan every day.
Step 01
Calibrate & verify
Every unit is checked against its calibration plate and volumetric accuracy confirmed before it ships — you receive a scanner that meets its stated spec on day one.
Step 02
Install & train
Remote or on-site onboarding on scan strategy, alignment modes, and export to your CAD/QC package — your team is productive on the first real part, not week three.
Step 03
Sample scan & support
Send us a part and we scan it first, so you see HX2 data on your geometry before you commit. Post-sale calibration and workflow support with a sub-4h reply.
Scanning Performance
The HX2 pairs two light sources on one handheld body: 13 crossed blue laser lines for fine-detail, high-accuracy capture, and a blue LED for full-color rapid scanning. Laser Scan mode reaches up to 1,600,000 points/s at 120 FPS with 0.04 mm accuracy and 0.04 + 0.06 mm/m volumetric accuracy; Rapid Scan trades some resolution for full-color texture at 1,200,000 points/s and 20 FPS. See the full specification table below.
Working Range & Portability
Working distance is 470 mm in both modes, with a depth of field of 350–610 mm in Laser Scan and 200–700 mm in Rapid Scan — enough range to move around a part without repositioning constantly. At 745 g and 4.25 × 4.33 × 9.33 in (108 × 110 × 237 mm), the HX2 is light enough for extended handheld sessions, though it stays tethered to a PC over USB 3.0 rather than running on battery.
Software & Workflow
EXStar software drives alignment in feature, marker, texture, or hybrid mode depending on the active light source, then exports directly to OBJ, STL, ASC, PLY, P3, and 3MF for reverse-engineering, inspection, and 3D-printing pipelines. Rapid Scan’s built-in color camera adds full-color texture on the same mesh, no separate pass required.

Unedited feedback from metrology and reverse-engineering users.
★★★★★
Reverse-engineered a housing off a discontinued part in Laser Scan mode — the crossed laser lines held sharp edges other scanners smoothed over, and alignment stayed locked through the whole session.
MT
Marcus T. Reverse Engineering Engineer · Automotive Aftermarket
★★★★★
We run Rapid Scan for full-color inspection reports and switch to Laser Scan when a defect needs sub-0.05 mm confirmation. Having both light sources in one scanner cut our tooling budget.
EK
Elena K. Quality Engineer · Precision Manufacturing
★★★★★
Being tethered to a laptop is a minor tradeoff for the point density we get on small cast parts — 0.04 mm accuracy holds up against our CMM checks.

Common questions
Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.
How accurate is the EinScan HX2 on a 1-meter part?
The EinScan HX2 reaches up to 0.04 mm single-shot accuracy and 0.04 + 0.06 mm/m volumetric accuracy in Laser Scan mode, meaning error grows by roughly 0.06 mm per additional meter of travel. Over a 1-meter part, expect approximately 0.04–0.10 mm total deviation depending on alignment mode and surface condition. For QC sign-off, always verify against the included calibration board before a production run.
Does the EinScan HX2 work in bright ambient light or sunlight?
Laser Scan mode's crossed blue laser lines are more tolerant of workshop lighting than white-light scanners, but the HX2 is a tethered lab/shop-floor scanner, not rated for direct outdoor sunlight use. For bright shop environments, shade the part or dim overhead lighting. For scanning outdoors in direct sun or on large objects, an IR-based scanner such as the EinScan Rigil is the better fit.
What file formats does the EinScan HX2 export for CAD and QC software?
The HX2 exports OBJ, STL, ASC, PLY, P3, and 3MF directly from EXStar software, covering most reverse-engineering, inspection, and 3D-printing pipelines without an intermediate conversion step. STL and OBJ suit CAD reconstruction and printing; PLY and ASC point clouds drop into metrology software such as GOM Inspect or PolyWorks.
Can the EinScan HX2 scan dark or reflective parts without spray?
Blue laser handles shiny and dark surfaces better than white-light scanners, but very glossy metal or black plastic can still cause dropouts in both Rapid Scan and Laser Scan modes. For consistently reflective or transparent parts, a light matte or scanning spray remains the reliable way to get a complete, gap-free mesh.
What's the difference between Rapid Scan and Laser Scan mode on the HX2?
Rapid Scan uses the blue LED for full-color capture at up to 1,200,000 points/s (20 FPS), with feature, marker, texture, or hybrid alignment. Laser Scan switches to 13 crossed blue laser lines for up to 1,600,000 points/s (120 FPS) and a finer 0.05 mm minimum point distance, but drops to markers-only alignment and loses color. Use Rapid Scan for textured, colorful parts and Laser Scan for maximum detail and speed.
How often does the EinScan HX2 need calibration?
Additive Plus verifies volumetric accuracy against the included calibration board before every unit ships. After that, recalibrate whenever the scanner is dropped, moved between temperature extremes, or on a routine 6–12 month cycle for QC-critical use — the calibration board and EXStar's built-in routine make the check a five-minute task.
Is the EinScan HX2 wireless, or does it need a PC?
The HX2 connects over USB 3.0 to a Windows PC running EXStar software — it has no onboard battery or standalone mode, so it stays tethered to a laptop or workstation for every scan. For a battery-powered, PC-free alternative, Additive Plus also carries the wireless EinScan Rigil.
