One of the standout features of the EinScan Pro 2X V2 is its ability to handle challenging surfaces, such as dark or black objects and casting metal surfaces, with greater ease than traditional scanners (for transparent or highly reflective objects it is recommended to use scanning sprays). This enhanced capability is made possible by the innovative stripe pattern scanning technology, which has been adapted from Fixed Scan Mode to the Handheld 2X V2 Scan Mode. By combining advanced lighting projection hardware with an optimized software algorithm, this scanner is capable of capturing a broader range of materials, expanding its potential applications across industries like manufacturing and reverse engineering.

The EinScan Pro 2X V2 offers exceptional resolution and accuracy for handheld scanning, making it comparable to fixed scanning systems. With a minimum point distance setting of 0.2 mm and an optimized algorithm, the scanner delivers fine details and precision without sacrificing speed. In Fixed Scan Mode, the accuracy reaches up to 0.04 mm, while in Handheld Scan Mode with marker alignment, the volumetric accuracy is up to 0.045 mm + 0.3 mm/m. The scanner also boasts impressive processing power, capturing up to 3,000,000 points per second during handheld scanning, and processing each frame in less than 1 second when used with the Fixed Scan Mode.

Accessories and software

This scanner comes with the Color Pack that includes a texture camera and the Industrial Pack that includes a turntable and tripod. The Color Pack adds a texture camera, enabling the scanner to capture full-color textures in addition to geometry, while improving scanning efficiency through texture alignment. The Industrial Pack accessory allows for automated scanning on a turntable, ensuring greater accuracy for static objects. These accessories open up new possibilities for applications in reverse engineering, 3D modeling, and design, by offering multiple positioning methods such as feature alignment, marker alignment, and texture alignment.
