EinScan SP Desktop 3D Scanner

This 3D Scanner is a bargain! We were previously looking at a very expensive scanning system from Zeiss. We decided to give the Einscan a try due to the incredible price. But honestly I did not expect great results. We need to scan complex 3D Objects to help with reverse engineering in CAD. Dimensional accuracy is critical. After scanning dozens of objects, I can confidently assure you that this thing is accurate! Every single item I have scanned so far has been accurate to +/- .001. The auto align software does a really great job at aligning each scan. I have never used a 3D scanner before, but had this thing up and running in less than an hour. FYI - We are coating every object with developer spray before scanning. Pros: Super affordable, Very precise, Easy to use, works on non-graphics specific laptops (working just fine with i7 & local graphics card only, Standard decent laptop) Cons: I can already see some dust collecting inside the scanner head in front of the lenses and light. So I can see the scan quality deteriorating over time if enough dust accumulates in front of the lenses or light projector. You must downgrade your screen resolution to install the software, if not you will not see the options and prompts. Once installed you can re-set your resolution to normal, but the icons in the software look tiny when you open the program. Buy it. Worth every penny...

The important value for this product is the software and even though the EinScan web site clearly states that this product is eligible for Solid Edge. It comes with a shiny card that says you are eligible. When you submit it to the web site, you promptly get an email back saying you are NOT eligible. Responses trying to clarify simply say 'Delivery Failure'. Nothing you can do, but return the product. Basically, just fraud as far as I can tell - not sure if this is because of a reseller or EinScan itself.

I use an Artec EVA and a Faro arm for reverse engineering. This scanner is unbelievable at the price. It scans better than my EVA. The software is easy to use, but could use more adjustments for power users. Overall, this is a no brainer to purchase.

I purchased my scanner (Einscan SE) about 1 year ago. I use it primarily to scan existing dentures for patients interested in getting a new denture. We can easily scan the denture and send to a 3D printer to make a "Jump" copy of their denture out of clear material. We can also merge the STL file with CBCT files to create custom surgical guides. The best use is for the JUMP that we make. It shortens making new dentures because we can take a final impression using PVS the next appointment and get the vertical, horizontal, midline and border mold in 1 visit. This eliminates a custom tray impression, wax rim, preliminary setup. Making new dentures is done in much fewer appointments and much more accurately! I give it only 4 start because it is slow (10-15 minutes to get a really good scan) and sometimes needs spray to get a good water tight file to export. Even being slow, the time savings makes the unit pay for itself in only a few cases! Having a better program that is faster would make me give it 5 stars!!

I purchased this item and returned it. It is built of relatively flimsy materials and utilizes cheap connectors. Adding more that a pound or two to the rotating table causes the arm holding the scanner to flex.

Product came quickly and works well! Thank you!

Ce scanner est un très bon produit robuste et parfaitement adapté au scan 3D à 360° pour les petits objets en mode rotatif, cela se fait rapidement. Il peut également scanner de grand objets jsuqu'à 1.3m en mode manuel avec son trépied fourni ou en l'inversant sur sur support (dans ce qu'a le scan sera plus long à réalisé mais ne posera pas de problème, il y a différents modes d'alignements possible. Par contre il n'et pas adapté au scanne de visage ou personnes, que pour des objets parfaitement immobiles. Pensez également à utiliser comme pour la plupart des scanner 3D un matifiant pour les objets très brillants. Le logiciel EXScan S_v3.1.0.1 est plus très simple à utiliser et intuitif.

After installing Solid Edge and creating an account with Siemens, I found that there was no way I could activate or licence it. I contacted Einscan who didn’t seem to know what the situation was, they described the dongle which sounded very much like the supplied memory stick, so we exchanged a few images. Eventually someone at Einscan suggested that the SP version does not normally include Solid Edge. Looking at the advert on the Amazon page, and the Q&A, and even some of the comments that was not at all clear. The Quick Start Guide includes a packing list. This makes no mention of either a dongle or a memory stick, yet there was a memory stick in the packaging with the various applications ready for install. There’s just one brief mention of Solid Edge in the manual which only relates to the integrated connection from the scanner software to Solid Edge, of course without a licenced version of SE this fails. Einscan were still checking if Solid Edge should be included or not, and I had asked what the cost would be to ‘upgrade’ to that bundle, but no reply for over a week now. I’m not at all impressed with Einscan support. UPDATE - Issues with support all sorted now, and since the scanner is truely excellent, I've upped the rating to 5 stars.

Der Scanner kann schnell, wie immer, bei mir an. Sicher und gut verpackt. Der Zusammenbau beschränkt sichauf 3 Steckverbindungen. Das war es schon. Software wurde auf einem USB Stick mitgeliefert. Mit der Schnellanleitung ist es auch kein Problem die Kalibrierung zu machen. Mein erster Scan, einen kleinen Adler sieht man auf den Bildern. Zum Scanner wird auch eine CAD Bearbeitungssoftware geliefert. Diese muss von der Scannerwebside geladen werden. Da beginnt, oder began das einzigste Problem. Erst nach Mailaustausch mit dem Support konnte ich die Software im 5. Versuch laden. Ansonsten ein tolles Teil, was wirklich jeden Euro wert ist. Der Preis erstreckt sich ja nicht nur auf das Material, sondern auch auf das Know How. Da wurde hier echt viel von investiert.

Ho acquistato da Amazon questo scanner 3D. E' vero ha un prezzo elevato ma consiglio a chi desidera uno scanner veramente professionale di acquistarlo anche a costo di fare un sacrificio economico che magari potrebbe risultare un investimento economico per il futuro. Appena arrivato ho fatto subito le prime scansioni e devo dire che il software è molto valido ed intuitivo. I risultati li ho trovati ottimi e con un pò di pazienza vengono riprodotti anche i minimi dettagli di una scansione. Sono veramente soddisfatto dell'acquisto.

Good choice!
