EinScan HX - Hybrid Blue Laser & LED Light Source Handheld 3D Scanner [Seat: 901]
The EinScan HX handheld 3D scanner by SHINING 3D integrates blue LED light and blue laser to make it suitable for a wider range of object sizes, with high efficiency and reliable results.
It integrates blue LED light blue laser for improved adaptability and compatibility with a wider range of object sizes and materials.
LED light scanning is faster, while laser scanning is more accurate and better suited for reflective or dark-colored surfaces.
It has a high resolution and accuracy, with a minimum point distance of 0.05 mm and accuracy up to 0.04 mm under laser scan.
It has a processing speed of up to 1,200,000 points/s, making it suitable for rapid scanning of most objects in minutes.
It is designed for a range of industrial applications, including reverse engineering, quality control, and inspection.
3D scan using LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) technology, which bounces laser light off an object to gauge distance and depth in order to form a 3D scan.
Pros: Stand-alone 3D scanning (no need a nearby PC)
