What creators actually check
Detail and versatility in one
17 blue laser lines resolve detail at 0.05 mm resolution, while IR mode captures a full body in about 60 seconds — from 5 mm details to 10 m scenes. One wireless scanner covers detailed objects and people.

The Shining 3D EINSTAR 2 is the wireless successor to the original Einstar handheld scanner. It pairs 17 blue laser lines for fine detail with an IR mode for large objects and full-body capture, handling subjects from 5 mm details to 10 m scenes at 0.05 mm resolution in Laser HD mode — and a full body in about 60 seconds in IR mode — with no cable to the PC.
Why creators choose the EINSTAR 2
Still Einstar — now with a blue-laser mode, built-in Wi-Fi, and faster processing.
The Einstar, upgraded
The EINSTAR 2 adds a 17-line blue-laser mode for finer detail on small objects than the original infrared structured-light Einstar, while keeping the same approachable, beginner-friendly workflow.
Detail and big objects both
Laser HD mode captures small to medium objects at 0.05 mm resolution; IR mode handles people, large objects, and scenes up to 10 m. One scanner covers a bracket and a full body. See specifications below.
Full body in ~60 seconds
Fast, eye-safe IR capture scans a whole person in about 60 seconds — suited for character work, avatars, prosthetic and orthotic starting scans, and body-based art.
Wireless, light, all-day
Fully wireless with built-in Wi-Fi and a swappable battery giving up to three hours of scanning. 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, with 0.05 mm resolution and up to 2,500,000 points/s, and switches to an IR VCSEL mode at up to 4,800,000 points/s for large objects and full-body scans. Shining 3D rates it for subjects from 5 mm details to 10 m scenes. In IR Rapid mode it can align on features, texture, or a hybrid of both without markers; Laser HD mode aligns on markers. 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 runs on Shining 3D’s EXStar Hub software 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. EXModel Personal for reverse engineering is available as a separate bundle.
Typical applications
A versatile scanner for creators and engineers alike.
