A built-in RGB camera adds lifelike color for art pieces, display models, and AR/VR content.
Scan at your desk or take it outside, with reliable performance in bright daylight.
See the full workflow in real conditions. Book a live demo with our experts and scan your parts.
Speak with a 3D scanning specialist about specifications, workflows, and integration goals.
3D artists comfortably capture highly detailed human faces and bodies to create realistic digital human characters and assets for video gaming and digital content.
Car enthusiasts reverse-engineer shiny aftermarket parts and tight vehicle interiors effortlessly without applying dulling spray.
STEM educators teach digital workflows by scanning vibrant, intricate artifacts in highly detailed full color.
Less spray prep before you scan, no cable while you scan, and one scanner from small parts to full interiors. Here is what that means for your everyday projects.
Less Prep
17 blue laser lines | Laser HD mode
Blue laser lines capture many black and reflective surfaces directly, so you spend less time on spray prep and cleanup.
Cable Free

Built-in Wi-Fi | No extra hub
Built-in Wi-Fi and a swappable battery remove the cable to the PC, so you walk around the object without stopping.
Two Modes
Laser and IR modes cover small parts and large spaces, so you can take on a wide range of projects with one scanner.
Insert the swappable battery and connect over built-in Wi-Fi, with no hub or adapter needed.
Use Laser HD for metal parts and fine detail, or IR Rapid for people and larger objects.
Place markers for Laser HD scans, or scan without markers in IR mode using feature and texture alignment.
Fill holes, measure, and simplify the model in EXStar Hub, then export to STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, or ASC.

EINSTAR 2 builds on the original with a new laser mode for capturing finer details on small objects, including reflective surfaces, without scanning spray. IR mode tracking has also been improved, and the fully wireless design gives you more freedom to move around your object. On the software side, EXStar Hub brings faster processing and a range of new editing tools.
EINSTAR 2 connects to your computer through its built-in Wi-Fi, so there’s no hub or extra accessory to set up. You can complete the entire scan without cables. If Wi-Fi interference occurs, a USB Type-C cable is available for a steady connection.
EINSTAR 2 covers a wide range, from objects as small as 10 mm up to large items like car interiors. Laser mode is best for small to medium objects that need fine detail, while IR mode handles people, larger objects, and wider areas. Between the two modes, it works on most materials, including black and reflective surfaces.
Each battery runs for up to 3 hours. With two batteries and a charger, you can scan with one while the other charges, keeping long sessions going without interruption.
Yes. Laser HD mode scans reliably in light up to 110,000 lux, and IR Rapid mode up to 70,000 lux, so you can take EINSTAR 2 outside for statues, vehicles, and other objects in daylight.
