Shining 3D Einstar Vega Wireless 3D Scanner All-in-one Handheld 3D Scanner Two Scanning Technology Support Small to Large Objects, Stable Outdoor Scanning, 8-core 2.4GHz CPU, 512G SSD and 32G RAM

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I think einstar have a better quality of scanner compare to others . After unboxing and did the update I can’t wait to scan the car . After the first try wow it was fast compare other scanners . Without spray or reflective dot directly scan without any issue . The video will show everything very quality product for the price you can’t beat it thank you einstar for an awesome 3d scanner . Can’t wait to do more scanning only take me less than 10min to scan the front wow unbelievable speed on this scanner . Ease of use: Super easy to operate Speed: Great and fast scanner capture with no issue Value for money: price is super reasonable Build quality: quality of the product is fantastic like an iPhone very tough Functionality: easy to operate and fast

I’ve had the Einstar scanner for a couple weeks but when the Vega went on sale I decided to give it a rip. The Einstar was great for scanning humans but I had lots of issues with objects. Having both scanners side by side, I wish I had just purchased the Vega from the get go. The battery life will give you over an hour but don’t expect much more. Like most reviews you will read about 3D scanners, I’ll say 3D scanning can be a bit of a learned art. I really wish I had other 3D scanners to compare this to in order to give you a better review, but I went with Shining scanners based on reviews.

This is the best 3d scanner for the cost hands down. Truly impressed!!

June 22, 2025: Initial thoughts are not good. The unit locks up when trying to calibrate. It won't work at all in HD mode, and does seem to work in the Fast mode. The software does work for whatever reason on my laptop and getting files off the scanner is very tedious and requires using a cloud service. No dropping to the laptop or PC. All that said, I did a scan (uncalibrated) in fastode and it was fairly simple and worked okay. Cleanup of the point cloud and meshing was seamless and very user friendly compared to higher end units I've previously used. I've submitted a service ticket and will follow up when I have a resolution. June 25, 2025: Service took two days to respond, I submitted on a Saturday, and they are issuing an RMA for diagnosis.

I am writing this review in hopes of saving you some time. For me this was not a practical tool. I am new to 3d scanning using dedicated devices like this one, so take this from the perspective of someone who did their homework and approached with an open mind. I wanted to explore the limits of the tech at this price point in late 2025, and Einstar came well reviewed. However I can't see how someone can use this device and come away with a favorable impression of it as a tool. My primary goal was to get useful work done. I had some measurements to make on an engine pedestal on a boat, and the point of intersection with an existing transmission. This is approximately a 400mm scan area. I've found phone scans to be very useful for gathering rough dimensions of objects that are difficult or impossible to index geometrically. Boats are full of these - there are very few terra firma index planes. But obviously in 2025 phones lack the feature detail you get with a dedicated scanner. The good Nice carrying case Sleek physical design of the device The bad Basically everything else The software is reasonably well considered but extremely underpowered on this hardware It seems like it was designed by someone who had no idea whom they were designing for If you're looking for something that allows you to acquire the dimensions you need with a predictable workflow this device will let you down. Calibration is a 10-15 minute process which requires additional calibration plates to be setup, scanned, rotated, flipped, etc. This process is laggy and time consuming. Nothing about the fit of the calibration materials seems well considered. The issue I repeatedly encountered is that the calibration process would complete, but then fail to compute the offsets at the very end. Which meant I had to start over several times, each time completing the scans and receiving feedback during the process, but witnessing the final compute step fail. It took over an hour to get the device calibrated the first time because of the failures. The device requires regular calibration (recommendation from the manufacturer is once a week). I confirmed after using the device 10 days after the initial calibration that the subsequent scans were unusable and the device indeed needed to be recalibrated. There was a firmware update which fixed the compute issue, but the firmware update took about 30 mins and also failed initially. Everything about the device is underpowered. The operating system, the scan experience, the post processing, the battery. Honestly, this felt more like a toy. That impression was not helped by the fact that the package included a toy figurine and various half-hearted motivational phrases thrown in with the packaging. I am not certain whom the device is designed for, but my guess is someone's imaginary view of what a 'hobbyist' is. Judging by the finished product and the experience I had, here is my view: This was designed by a company which typically builds much more expensive scanners for industry. Those are 20-50x the price of this device. With this device they designed to a price point. (How do we build a $2k USD device to capitalize on the hobby segment?) The result is not something you want to use. One final thought if you have 3d printing experience. You will see some excellent products built for consumer budgets. Bambu labs is a stellar example. Their products are built to a price point, but they are an excellent value and do what they say they will do. On the other end of the spectrum you have something like Elegoo printers which kind of work, but will waste your time. I would put this well lower than Elegoo on the value scale. This device is easily the least useful thing I have encountered in my experiences with digital fabrication. Maybe it's better for figurine scanning on a tabletop. Real world usage of anything else was in my experience- simply beyond the practical limits of the device.

This is my first scanner so I have not experience to compare but it’s been fairly intuitive, well build, and it just looks cool!

UPDATE/EDIT... After really using this a lot, while also using Revopoint pop3 and have used the Revopoint MIRACO a fee times. I have to drop a star. The options available in the UI really lack compared to the MIRACO. Not to mention the battery life sucks. This should be the same price if not cheaper than the MIRACO PLUS. As I mentioned in my original review below. The edit software they offer is sub-par to Revopoint. Overall, I widh i would've went for the MIRACO. We will see if Einstar stays dedicated to this unit and rolls out some nice updates soon. The scanner is.... ok. I'm still getting the hang of being the correct distance from the object in HD and Fast mode but I have produced some solid scans. It will not scan anything black or shiny so, make sure to buy the 3d scanning coating spray. The battery life is not as good as it should be but, having a power pack solved that issue. The PC edit software EINSTAR works great. Though, I do wish it had as many editing options as the Revopoint software has. Being able to process the scan on the unit alone is phenomenal and it does a great job for such a small spec. I can't wait for the next software update to see what they will be adding! I would definitely recommend the Vega!

Scanning is very easy and very accurate.

追従性、アプリの内容が思っていたより貧弱でした。 三脚が付属していないのがとても残念でした。 ソフトグリップは良いのですが人差し指がセンサーに干渉する癖がなかなか厄介でした。 三脚の取付けの片手持ちのほうが良いかも！ 商品に対する連絡がありました。 対応の速さと製品への自信を感じました アプリのアップグレードや操作性の向上の提案を受け評価の修正をいたします 更なる進化と使いやすさ向上を期待してます

この価格帯では大満足のスキャンスピード。他の競合に比べ形状スキャンの追従性が良い。ファーモードでマーカーシールを40cm平方あたりに4枚以上貼れば単調な背面でもトラッキングが追いつかなくなる様なことはない。自動車外観のスキャンでシール張りが30分。スキャンが20分程度で終わる。黒い物には一切反応しないので、AESUBの様な白くする前処理が必要になる。 他の測定器1000万超では確かに高精度でスキャンデータにジオメトリデータも接触式で同じ座標系で出力できるので後の設計が早いが、取り敢えず形状を記録しておきたい等の目的で有ればポータブルで軽量、しかもpc要らずで処理も気にならない速さで圧倒的にこの商品を活用する。リバースエンジニアリングでこの形状を忠実に再現する、もしくは製品精度を測る目的でないので有ればオススメ。

英語のマニュアルはネットで見れますが、たぶん読みながら使うより、スマホの様に使ううちに機能が分かる方が早いです。他の機種は使った事がないので☆の数は主観です。最初につまづいたのはキャリブレーションボードには表裏があるという事。反対向きのままキャリブレーションが進まず、気付くまでちょっとかかりました。あと、データエクスポートのためにStarVisionソフトをインストールして3Dプリントに漕ぎ着けるまで何度もつまづきながらも、どうにかスーパーで買った鯉落雁をスキャンして3Dプリンターでミニチュアを作ってみました。

付属品の不足パーツがあり問い合わせを行いました。迅速に対応頂けました、ありがとうございます。 もちろんスキャナーとしては素晴らしい製品です
