Description

What is the difference between the EINSTAR 3D Scanner and VGEA 3D Scanner? VEGA and EINSTAR offer a similar scanning experience for medium and large objects. However, VEGA HD mode specifically designed for small objects and fine details. If wireless scanning isn't a priority for you, EINSTAR is still a great choice. How long does it work by its battery? The continuous working time is 1.5-2 hours. You can also connect it to a power bank for extended use. Don't I need any PC to connect? You can scan and process the data directly on the Vega, don't need connect to PC. However, if you scan a huge object and need higher resolution processing, you can transfer the 3D data to PC software to process data. How long did the meshing take? It depends on the scan volume, We add a special one-click processing function, and if you prefer quick meshing you can choose fast mesh, choose HD mode mesh for high-detail data.

Features don't work, neither does the software
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. ... show more

Great Buy!
This is a great scanner. My 5th scanner. Works better than all the others and cost less! Software great. Easy to use. Super detail possible or low detail possible where detail is not needed! Tracking is unbelievably good with any kind of detail (tracking targets not needed)! Low ratings not deserved. Only issue is battery drains pretty quickly. Not a real issue! Always been plenty enough! But even if you scan a long time you can keep going with any cell phone battery pack or powerstick! ... show more

It's ok...
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! ... show more

It really is just a toy
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. ... show more

Incredible.

Impressive stand alone scanner
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. ... show more

Not what you think.....
Terrible scanner. I met the company for the first time at formnext back in 2024. I had a chance to try the scanner for the first time. about a year later, I've decided to purchase this scanner over the competition because of the quality of assembly of the unit. At first glance, I though I will need a little more practice to learn how to properly use this device. After several months of trial and error I found that this unit is really bad at everything in terms of accuracy and won't work in sunlight, on dark object, shinny metallic object, small object, transparent object and flat surfaces, even curve surface. You can try to use marker, scan spray, sanding, It will never succeed to do a good job most of the time. I read some of the other review and I agree with most of them. Do not waste you time, money, energy and hope on this one. If I compare with the unit I tryed at the formnext show, there is something not honnest here. Maybe, this is a batch problem. I will never buy from shinning 3D again. Thanks for making me wasting my money. ... show more
