As always, thanks a lot for your uploads. I really enjoy all the content you guys do. To answer your question, I would love to see a complete process of 3D scanning, CAD work, and final printing of a product. I know that is a lot to ask, but would be awesome to see. Kind of like the videos that the guys of Easy Composites make (I hope there is no problem of mentioning another channel here). Thanks again, keep up the good work!
Dear Rob (Vision Miner), I have a question about the Einscan SP and 3.1 software .. You say in the video that you can set steps for turntable from 4 to 180, but I can only set it between 8 and 36 ? Great channel .. Please make a follow up video on setting up Einscan SP or any 3d scanner with included Tripod with calibration etc ... Kind Regards from Jim down under Australia !!
@Vision Miner. So I work for a hospital. We have this same scanner. And I have taken over the role of creating things. However, I am very new to 3D printing as a whole. And have so many questions. Is there a way I can chat with you and get some more help on basics of this scanner. Beyond what you have showed in this one, which was a GREAT video!
5:28 in your video on turntable control targets in align mode, I’m pulling my hair out because mine will start the scan but won’t pick up onto any reference points or green dots. But will scan fine in feature mode.. any suggestion
I'm 7 months late to this, but Turntable Targets mode will only work if there are a minimum of 4 targets visible in each step of the scan. If the scanner is having trouble seeing them, try adjusting the angle of your scanner. Features mode will usually work for any object that has sufficiently complex geometry.
I have the same problem... if on turntable encoded targets it doesn't even project its structured light sequence.. it just shines a sold light and steps through while not capturing any information. I''ve even just put a tiny item in the middle to assure none of the turntable table targets are blocked.
@@constantinearronis4671 Okay, Thanks! That's what I thought until I saw it on its normal stand in the video and it caught me a bit off guard as I wasn't aware it would work that way. And trying it on mine certainly didn't work on its normal stand. ;)
So once I have my scan I get like 500 files on my computer. Which one is the one I use to do anything with the scan? Like if I want to 3D print this model now, where is that file?
You mentioned that this automates reverse engineering? Did i understand that right? (I intend this as helpful feedback and not as negativity) it seems like there is a lot of post processing work involved to get a usable mesh. For a product that is many tbousands of dollars, I would've anticipated tjat it woukd save a lot more work.
I would like to see if you can scan a G.I. Joe or Cobra aircraft like for the G.I. Joe Skystriker or the Tomahawk, and for Cobra, either the Night Raven, Version 1 or the Cobra Mamba on that scanner if you can, and what I would like to do, is to make it all remote controlled by 3D printing it out, as well to make it fit 6 inch figures.
How well does it work with items like knife handles and scales? I'm looking for a scanner that I can reverse engineer existing knife handles from various makes and models.
Hi Rob, love your review as it answered a number of questions I had! Can you tell me, would the Einscan SP be able to scan on the turntable a folded drone of about 220x100x90mm ?
I would imagine that could work fine -- I'd probably opt for a bigger one, but with the SP you also have the option for a fixed scan on a tripod, to do still objects, aside from the turntable :)
For that, an Autoscan Inspec would probably be best -- these scanners would get some of it, but the Autoscan Inspec is way better, and designed for objects of that size -- we've got them available, just give us a call Monday and we can get you a quote :)
Tuff review! Can this system build on the scans it’s already captured? Fill in data where it needs it without having to do a fresh higher capture scan?
Yes, absolutely! The align function is super easy to use, and you just import other scan data or open a saved project to add to it -- either way, it would best be done in a post-processing software like Geomagic Essentials :)
Technically you can put it on a tripod, and then you could scan sections one at a time, and stitch them all together with the alignment feature in the Einscan software :) We haven't tried this, but theoretically it could be done!
Definitely would suggest one of the Shining3D handheld scanners like the ProHD or Einscan HX over this for automotive applications. The Einstar is affordable but we've noticed it's too slow for most professional applications
Hello, I have a question: in a room where there is a lot of natural light, is this a problem to scan an object? Or should the 3d scanner work in a normal or low light environment?
Hey man, I’m having an issue, once I scan the file is too heavy when I send to solid works I have to reduce quality of the mesh, do you have any tip to this ? Thanks
Einscan SP & SP V2 are great at scanning the shape & geometric details of objects, but are REALLY NOT GREAT at capturing texture detail on small objects. 1.5 Megapixels is very, very insufficient, producing VERY blurry textures.
Not much better than without color, unfortunately. The HX really "shines" in that area... but if you can spray, you're good! if it's dark/reflective, though, HX is the way to go.
scanning kids toys is useless for alot of potential customers. Videos that CAD designers in cnc job shops can relate to would be very helpful. scan real world items like automotive parts, suspension parts, motorcycle parts, bike parts etc... the need to build a cad model of a engine so you can design parts around it, turbos, superchargers.... scan an entire engine compartment. TH-cam videos on scanning action figures and human faces is really useless for the average CNC job shop
This is a perfect video! I needed to know how to scan all sides and align. You explained this perfectly. You sir are a life saver!
You're more than welcome! Thank you!

Another brilliant review from the Einscan Einstein.
Great explanation of the importance of point cloud accuracy.

Nice video! Can you use it without the rotating support and only the tripod?
Hi Great Video help me alot plain advice and to the point Thank you

It would be great actually -- they'd fit the size, and you'd get excellent detail/resolution with the turntable -- that would be a winner!

@@VisionMiner Thanks so much for the answer Rob! Sounds like the SP is the one we need.
This or the POP2. Is the quality really that much noticeable?
Hi Rob, Can you scan a medium sized insect? like a grasshopper? Which of the scanners would be good for that? Thank you!
For that, an Autoscan Inspec would probably be best -- these scanners would get some of it, but the Autoscan Inspec is way better, and designed for objects of that size -- we've got them available, just give us a call Monday and we can get you a quote :)
is there any free reverse enginnering software to model the gotten cad form this scanner

Yes, absolutely! The align function is super easy to use, and you just import other scan data or open a saved project to add to it -- either way, it would best be done in a post-processing software like Geomagic Essentials :)
I was wondering if you have tricks on how to scan tall objects with this scanner ?
Technically you can put it on a tripod, and then you could scan sections one at a time, and stitch them all together with the alignment feature in the Einscan software :) We haven't tried this, but theoretically it could be done!
Would this be accurate enough to scan a car fender in order to make an accurate fender flair?
Definitely would suggest one of the Shining3D handheld scanners like the ProHD or Einscan HX over this for automotive applications. The Einstar is affordable but we've noticed it's too slow for most professional applications
@@VisionMiner I’m just a hobbyist building a car so scanners that cost as much as a car aren’t viable 😂.
can you use such scanner for scanning plaster models for dental laboratory use ?
Plaster models, for sure! Depending on the accuracy and detail you need -- the new v2 would get down to 0.17mm point distance :)
@@VisionMiner aha so it is possible..0.17 is huge.. ...btw on their page they say 0.05 or better you can achieve...ty
Hello, I have a question:
in a room where there is a lot of natural light, is this a problem to scan an object? Or should the 3d scanner work in a normal or low light environment?
Less light is better, in general, but a low-light room is not required -- you'll be fine in a well-lit room :)
Will it scan a 38 mm gear good enough to me work with the drive gear after it’s printed?
Send it in, we’ll test it out!
Hey man, I’m having an issue, once I scan the file is too heavy when I send to solid works I have to reduce quality of the mesh, do you have any tip to this ? Thanks
Scan in lower resolution (accuracy remains the same) and get something like Geomagic Essentials to process the data into native CAD shapes first
how much powerful computer do I need, to do scans?
I have no idea but i want to guess.
4 gb of ram and 500gb hard drive seems to run most stuff.
Be well.

This looks cool! Let's check out the price! 😀
HOLY SHI- Has seizure*
SOMEONE GET AN ELECTROCARDIOGRAM STAT! Wait..... it's something else...
