SHINING 3D EINSTAR VEGA.
SHINING 3D has unveiled the latest addition to its EINSTAR product family, the EINSTAR VEGA. The metrology-grade 3D scanning technology supplier designed the series to provide users with digital modelling and quick measurements of complex structures and spaces with improved ease of use and accessibility.
The newly introduced EINSTAR VEGA prioritises improvements to usability and portability when it comes to 3D scanning. By utilising built-in computing chips, large-capacity storage, and a high-definition display and wireless transmission, there is no need to connect to a computer as users can start scanning anytime.
“Everyone has invested tremendous efforts in the development of VEGA,” said Dr Tengfei Jiang, Project Leader at SHINING 3D. “From project initiation to product launch, we spent over two years, with the team working side by side to overcome one technical challenge after another. From hardware to software to algorithms, each iteration and update is an achievement of everyone's collective efforts.”
Key features of the EINSTAR VEGA:
- All-in-one system: Includes two 3D scanning technologies in one compact structure, leveraging built-in computing, and internal data archiving. Objects and areas can be scanned anywhere, with data more accessible through the SHINING 3D Cloud.
- Two scanning technologies in one: The EINSTAR VEGA features a Fast Mode that uses an infrared VCSEL (Vertical cavity surface emitting laser) projector to scan large objects with high levels of efficiency. This mode has a working distance of 350-1500mm and scanning speeds of up to 20 FPS. The second scanning mode is known as the HD Mode, this one uses a MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) projector for scanning small objects with high detail. This second mode boasts a working distance of 100–250mm and a scanning speed of up to 15 FPS.
- A wireless solution: Simply use the solution’s wireless projection feature to display your work on a second screen without having to connect to a computer.
- One-click workflow: Turn on the system and start scanning with the EINSTAR VEGA’s quick and intuitive operational features.
- Multi-OS compatibility: With the addition of the StarVision PC software, the system can support extensive data editing, post-processing, and multi-scanning project merging features. This software is also compatible with both Windows and macOS.
- Powerful hardware: Adopted 8-core 2.4GHz processor, 32 GB RAM, and a data acquisition speed of up to 20FPS. There is enough space to save scanning projects with 32GB of eMMC and 512GB of SSD storage.
- Convenient and flexible: The solution is compact and lightweight (weighing only 535g), making it more portable. With its ergonomic design, the EINSTAR VEGA makes handheld scanning easier.
While conducting internal testing of the solution, users found that they could work the EINSTAR VEGA without having any training or preparation and were ready to start scanning within minutes. Ensuring that the system is easy to use both in terms of experience required and the ability to physically use the solution were key targets for SHINING 3D when the company designed the EINSTAR VEGA.
