About this product
The Shining 3D EINSTAR 2 is the wireless upgrade to the popular Einstar handheld scanner. It pairs 17 blue laser lines for fine detail with an IR mode for large objects and full-body capture, scanning from a 5 mm part to a 10 m scene at up to 0.05 mm — a full body in about 60 seconds — all cable-free and markerless.
Why creators choose the EINSTAR 2
The Einstar people love, now laser-based, wireless, and faster.
The Einstar, upgraded
The EINSTAR 2 moves to a 17-line blue-laser engine for cleaner detail than the original structured-light Einstar, while keeping the same approachable, beginner-friendly workflow.
Detail and big objects both
Laser HD mode captures small to medium parts down to 0.05 mm; IR mode captures people, furniture, and rooms up to 10 m. One scanner covers a bracket and a full body. See specifications below.
Full body in ~60 seconds
Fast IR capture scans a whole person in about a minute, markerless — ideal for character work, avatars, prosthetic and orthotic starting scans, and body-based art.
Wireless, light, all-day
Fully wireless with integrated Wi-Fi and a replaceable battery giving about three hours. At 420 g it is easy to hold for a long session, and it works with no cable to the PC.

Scanning Performance
The EINSTAR 2 uses 17 parallel blue laser lines in Laser HD mode for detail down to 0.05 mm, capturing at 2,500,000 points/s, and switches to an IR mode at 4,800,000 points/s for large objects and full-body scans. It handles subjects from 5 mm up to 10 m, with a point cloud density down to about 0.1 mm. Marker-free scanning keeps setup quick. See the full specification table below.
From a Part to a Person
Two modes make the EINSTAR 2 versatile for creators. In Laser HD it resolves mechanical parts, models, and detailed objects; in IR it captures people, furniture, and larger scenes quickly. Full-body capture in around 60 seconds suits character and avatar creation, art, cosplay, and starting scans for custom-fit work — and the same device still handles a small printed part when you need it.
Software & Output
The EINSTAR 2 works with EXModel for scan processing and exports STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, and ASC. STL and 3MF go straight into 3D-printing slicers, while OBJ and PLY carry color texture for design, art, and presentation. The result is ready for print, CAD, or a game and animation pipeline with minimal cleanup thanks to marker-free capture.

Common questions

How is the EINSTAR 2 different from the original Einstar?
The EINSTAR 2 is the newer generation. The original Einstar is a structured-light handheld; the EINSTAR 2 moves to a 17-line blue-laser engine for cleaner detail, adds a fully wireless design with a replaceable battery, and keeps the same beginner-friendly workflow. It also scans a wider size range, from 5 mm parts to 10 m scenes, so it is a more capable all-rounder while staying affordable.
What is the difference between the laser and IR modes?
The EINSTAR 2 has two modes. Laser HD uses 17 parallel blue laser lines for high-detail capture of small to medium objects down to 0.05 mm at 2,500,000 points/s. IR Rapid uses infrared for fast capture of large objects and people, up to 4,800,000 points/s. You pick the mode for the subject — laser for detailed parts, IR for a body or a room — and the data combines in one project.
Can it scan a full person, and how fast?
Yes. In IR mode the EINSTAR 2 captures a full body in about 60 seconds, markerless, which makes it well suited to character and avatar creation, art and cosplay, and starting scans for custom-fit work. Because it is wireless and 420 g, the operator can move freely around the subject. For fine facial or hand detail you can switch to Laser HD on the same person.
What accuracy and resolution can I expect?
The EINSTAR 2 reaches up to 0.05 mm accuracy in Laser HD mode with a point cloud density down to about 0.1 mm. That is enough for product design, reverse engineering, and 3D-printing work, as well as detailed character assets. As with any handheld scanner, real-world results depend on technique and surface, and we help you dial in the best settings for your subjects.
Do I need markers to scan?
For most work, no. The EINSTAR 2 scans marker-free, which is what makes fast full-body and object capture practical without applying and cleaning up targets. Marker-based tracking is available for large or feature-poor surfaces that need extra stability. For everyday people, product, and art scanning, markerless keeps the workflow quick and simple.
What software does it use, and what formats does it export?
The EINSTAR 2 works with EXModel for scan processing and exports STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, and ASC. STL and 3MF go straight into 3D-printing slicers, while OBJ and PLY carry color texture for design, art, and game or animation pipelines. That covers most maker, design, and creative workflows out of the box, and we help set up the export path during onboarding.
EINSTAR 2 or EINSTAR Rockit — which should I choose?
Both are wireless laser handhelds. The EINSTAR 2 is the value all-rounder — great for people, large scenes, and general work at 17 laser lines. The EINSTAR Rockit steps up to a dual laser-plus-IR light source with 38 laser lines and stronger bright-light tolerance, so it captures more detail and works better in daylight. If most of your work is full-body and larger objects on a budget, choose the EINSTAR 2; for maximum detail, the Rockit. We help you match the model to your work.
