    I think you said it exactly: Prosumer. They made the first prosumer scanner that is leaps and bounds above other scanners in its $1000 category. Yes it is not a professional unit but is sooooooo much better than scanners that cost the same.

    Good video. One thing I would like to point out about why most 3D scanners don't provide an absolute accuracy, this is because they can't. I work with designing 3D vision scanners and there are several factors that plan into this. First, distance to the scan surface causes the image to appear in different image planes. As the image is farther away, its resolution decreases. As it gets closer to the camera it increases. So you ask a question what accuracy? The highest accuracy would be when the camera is at its closest possible which is meaningless in the real world. Once you get past the physical limits of the imaging, then you have the lighting, material reflections, motion jigger. All of these play into it. Therefore, one could specify for the worst case and then add some margin, but then you get people who don't understand the physicals and engineering behind it, making statements that they are seeing better accuracy than mentioned. So, what do you do. I believe it is better to provide nothing and let the user decide if it is good enough for them. FYI, I designed a 5-camera system, which can scan a 1.5 cubic meter region, at average worst case accuracy of 0.2mm (which is "good enough" at a set distance), in 4 planes simultaneously, for less than $10,000 in under 4 seconds. Which is really good. This of course is for the steel infrastructure industry though. Now, here I said a specific accuracy. But really, I said at a specific distance (?) with a measured GRR average worse case accuracy for a specific setup; does it matter is the question! What is important is the end result of the information because this information in turn is used to guide an 8-axis robotic system with a plasma cutting tool to cut out of steel with a total system accuracy of +/- 0.5 mm. So, what am a saying? Well accuracy is in the hands of the situation and individual. As long as the end result meets one's specification that is all that really matters.
    For me, after years of working with vision, if I see someone give me an absolute accuracy promise, I will usually give them a big finger, because those numbers are subjective and difficult to reproduce unless it is under the exact same conditions. Vision is always difficult, even in a lab setting. Thats my professional 2 cents of thoughts.

    I bought it after watching all the reviews. So far, I don't regret it - it's totally worth the price. I did try to scan quite small parts like computer fan blades, and it does work. It requires some effort to transfer to CAD, but I can't complain. If 3D scanning is not your primary business, this is the scanner to choose

    If you throw everything at the Einstar when scanning it works great. Targets, spray and proper lighting will yield great results. I sent out an item to be scanned using an Artec Leo, and to be honest it was not worth the price they charged me. While more accurate, the Einstar was just fine for my use (automotive suspension products). If scanning figurines etc, I think it's a different story.

      I don't get this either - I did dimensional tests on my channel and got great feedback. This is the thing that stops me for getting a larger scanner, I'm not gonna fork out $1,000 to find out what I already suspect. I think reviewers DONT KNOW what volumetric accuracy actually is and the only spec that truly matters (ie mm/metre) or when they test it they find like most of these scanners; they're far too inaccurate to be usable where volumetric accuracy is desirable.

    I have an older Einscan Pro that I purchased second-hand at a good price. It included the industrial pack for a total of around $1100. I'm considering a texture camera for it, but the Einstar is almost the same price as the camera alone. I know it's hard to recommend either as you don't know my use case in details, but is there obvious reasons for going for the Einstar, or would I be better of with the texture camera for my Einscan Pro?

    I have to say that from my experience with the Revopoint pop 2, or mini vs the Einstar, it’s night and day, the einstar gets results, but the Revopoints are yet to scan very much with any success. The Revopoint software is terrible and the field of view is so small that it’s almost impossible to use the target mode as it can’t see enough targets given they’re the 6mm ones. I really would like to go with the HD pro 2020 or the HX, but I’m not a pro, so it’s not making me money. If I could work out a way to sell the service and make £12K I’d have an HX tomorrow, it looks so good.
    In terms of accuracy, I was scanning parts inside an old 8mm cine projector and can out at about +0.4mm on 20mm and 45mm diameter parts. Easy enough in that use case to then “assume” the true dimension.

      I have a Einscan-SP and a Revopoint mini. The mini can scan better in some circumstances.
      I had to scan a bottle screw cap and the SP struggled scanning it. The Mini did it without issue. Scanned the thread without issue. Use scanning targets to improve the tracking. I printed small pyramids and place it around the object I scan. th-cam.com/video/V6mUMNrwK4Q/w-d-xo.html for example.
