Software Installation
Software Download
Download the software and user manual from support.shining3d.com or www.einscan.com/software-download
Run the installer
Double click software installation icon to install the software.
Illustration shows the software installation icon.
License Activation
After successful installation, when the device is correctly connected, double-click to open the software and activate the device. The format of activation is "online activation". Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
Or do local activation and find the license in the USB drive.
Attention: If you install another device of different serial number, the software will automatically notify users to activate this device.
Calibration
Camera Calibration
Follow the instruction on the software to place the calibration board in 5 different positions. Hold the scanner vertically and cover the screen range.

White Balance Calibration
Only required for Color Pack
Hold the scanner vertically to the back side of calibration board (white) and adjust the distance until you find the proper distance.
Illustration shows the scanner positioned near a white calibration board for white balance calibration.
The first time installing the software, calibration is required by default. Calibration is also required for the following:
- Device Change
- After device enduring bumpy transportation
- After device accuracy decreases
- Device being uncalibrated for a long time, for example, 15 days.
- When using the Color Pack, the texture camera's position has been changed.

Scanning Tips
Scan Mode Selection
Use Handheld Rapid Scan mode when:
- A fast scanning experience is needed;
- Objects with good geometry for feature alignment;
- Objects are hard to move or too big to stay on turntable for scanning.
Use Handheld HD Scan mode when:
- High accuracy and high resolution by handheld scanning is required;
- Objects are hard to move or too big to stay on turntable for scanning.
Use Fixed Scan with Turntable mode when:
- High accuracy and high resolution is required;
- Objects' footprint within 150mm which may not cover most coded targets on turntable;
- Weight under 5kg;
- Objects' footprint above 150mm with rich geometry features can also work in Fixed Scan with Turntable mode through feature alignment.
Use Fixed Scan without Turntable mode when:
- High accuracy and high resolution is required;
- Objects is too big or heavy to work on turntable.
Summary
Mode | Accuracy (mm) | Scan Efficiency | Resolution | Align Mode |
---|---|---|---|---|
Fixed Scan with Turntable | Accuracy 0.04 | Single Scan < 0.5s | 0.16 mm | Coded Targets, Feature, Markers, Manual |
Fixed Scan without Turntable | Accuracy 0.04 | Single Scan < 0.5s | 0.16 mm | Feature, Markers, Manual |
Handheld HD Scan | Up to 0.1 +0.3 mm/m | 10 fps, 3,000,000 points/s | 0.2-2 mm | Markers, Feature (with rich geometrical features on the surface), Hybrid(Markers and Feature) |
Handheld Rapid Scan | Up to 0.1 +0.3 mm/m | 30 fps, 1,500,000 points/s | 0.2-2 mm | Markers, Feature (with rich geometrical features on the surface), Hybrid(Markers and Feature), Texture (with rich texture) |
