EINSTAR 2 Wireless Blue-Laser + IR Handheld 3D Scanner
Still EINSTAR, even better — a hybrid 17-line blue-laser HD engine for fine detail plus an IR rapid mode for people and large objects, now truly wireless in a 420 g palm-sized body.
EINSTAR 2 upgrades the scanner that made pro-grade 3D capture affordable. A 17-parallel-line blue-laser mode resolves fine features down to a 0.05 mm point distance — and scans black, reflective, and carbon-fiber surfaces without spray. Flip to IR rapid mode and capture a full human body in seconds at up to 4.8 million points per second. A 2.3 MP color camera adds lifelike texture, and built-in Wi-Fi cuts the cable for good.

Blue-Laser HD for Fine Detail
The original EINSTAR proved that capable 3D scanning could be affordable. The EINSTAR 2 keeps that accessibility and adds the one thing entry-level users asked for most: a genuine blue-laser engine for the parts structured light can’t handle.
17 Parallel Blue Laser Lines, Down to 0.05 mm
The headline upgrade over the original EINSTAR is a true blue-laser HD mode. Seventeen parallel laser lines lay down crisp geometry at up to 90 fps and 2.5 million points per second, with a point distance as fine as 0.05 mm. Laser light also reaches into deep holes and tight pockets that structured light skips, It’s the upgrade that turns an affordable entry scanner into one you can trust for real reverse-engineering and inspection work, not just hobby captures.
Resolve engraving, edges, and small mechanical features cleanly — ready for reverse engineering and 3D printing.
Optimized for deep-hole and pocket scanning where structured-light scanners lose data — down to roughly Φ1 cm.
A focused capture area for detailed parts, with single-frame accuracy tuned for precision work.
IR Rapid for People & Big Objects
Fine detail is only half the job — sometimes you need to cover a lot of surface fast. The EINSTAR 2’s second mode trades ultimate resolution for speed and reach, so large subjects come together in a single pass.
Capture a Full Body in About 60 Seconds
Switch to IR rapid mode and the EINSTAR 2 sweeps medium-to-large subjects at up to 4.8 million points per second, with a wide 1170 × 1385 mm field of view and a working distance out to 1400 mm. The infrared light is eye-safe and comfortable, Because both light engines live in the same device, you rarely have to stop and reach for a second scanner when a job mixes large surfaces with fine detail.
Scan Black & Reflective — No Spray
Ask any scanner owner what slows them down and “prepping shiny or dark parts” is near the top of the list. The blue-laser HD mode is built to make that whole step disappear.
Black, Reflective & Carbon Fiber — Straight to Data
Blue-laser scanning is what lets the EINSTAR 2 capture the surfaces that stop entry scanners cold. Dark trim, glossy plastics, reflective metal, and carbon fiber scan directly — no matting spray, no powder, no cleanup. For automotive interiors, tooling, and finished products that means Matting spray also wears off unevenly and can bury the very detail you came to capture, so skipping it keeps your scan honest to the real surface and saves consumable cost over time.
Realism You Can See
Geometry tells you the shape; color tells the rest of the story. For art, finished products, and people, faithful texture is what makes a scan look real rather than clinical — and it’s captured in the same pass.
An Integrated Color Camera for Lifelike Texture
A built-in 2.3 MP color camera maps vivid, true-to-life texture onto every scan. Painted statues, artwork, and decorated products come back with their real colors intact — ideal for digital art, cultural-heritage records, and immersive AR/VR assets. Combine it with either scan mode to get There’s no separate photography step and no guessing at color later — what the scanner sees is what lands on the mesh, ready for rendering or print.
Take It Outside
A scanner that only works in a controlled studio limits where you can capture. The EINSTAR 2 is built for dynamic lighting and complex environments, so reliable 3D data follows you to the job site, the driveway, or the sculpture garden.
Reliable Capture Up to 110,000 Lux
Laser HD mode holds up in direct sunlight to 110,000 lux, and IR rapid mode works up to 70,000 lux, so bright outdoor conditions no longer force a reshoot indoors. With an IP50 rating and a −10°C to 40°C operating range, Mixed, shifting daylight that confuses many entry scanners is handled in stride, so a quick capture in a parking lot or a gallery doesn’t turn into a reshoot back at the desk.
True Wireless, All-Day Battery
Specs matter, but day to day a scanner lives or dies on how it feels to use for hours at a time. The EINSTAR 2 is designed to stay out of your way — no cable to fight, no mid-job recharge.
Cut the Cable, Keep Scanning
Built-in Wi-Fi means you can walk all the way around a subject without a cable dragging behind you, streaming straight to EXStar Hub on your PC — with USB Type-C always available as a wired fallback. A swappable 5500 mAh battery delivers up to three hours of continuous scanning, and 60 W PD fast charging Hot-swap a fresh pack and keep going — there’s no downtime tethered to a wall outlet in the middle of a scan, which matters on long field or full-body jobs.
A 130 × 37 × 61 mm body weighs 420 g with the battery (348 g without) — comfortable for long sessions and easy to travel with.
Scan, mesh, and export in EINSTAR’s EXStar Hub software, then send clean files to your CAD, mesh, or 3D-print pipeline.
Output STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, and ASC — ready for reverse engineering, printing, inspection, and digital art.
Flexible Alignment, and Everything to Start
A scanner is only as good as how easily it tracks your part and what arrives in the box. The EINSTAR 2 gives you several ways to align a scan — so you can match the method to the object instead of fighting the tool — and ships ready to scan on day one.
Who is the EINSTAR 2 for? It hits a sweet spot for product designers prototyping from real objects, automotive and powersports shops capturing trim and body panels, educators and labs that need an approachable tool, and makers moving scans into 3D printing or digital art. The hybrid light source means one scanner covers small detailed parts and full-size people or vehicles, while the entry price keeps it within reach of a single project budget. It is not a certified metrology system — if you need traceable, accredited tolerances, Rev1 will point you to the right professional or metrology-grade scanner instead. For everyone else who wants dependable, full-color 3D capture without spray, cables, or a steep learning curve, the EINSTAR 2 is one of the most capable scanners you can buy at this price. Rev1 helps you confirm that fit before you commit, sets the software up, and trains your team — so your first scans are good scans.
IR rapid supports feature, texture, marker, global-marker, and hybrid alignment; laser HD uses marker and global-marker tracking. Geometry-rich part, flat panel, or repetitive surface — there’s a mode for it.
Reflective 3 mm and 6 mm markers ship in the box for marker-based workflows on featureless or symmetrical objects where feature tracking alone isn’t enough.
Capture, mesh, edit, and export inside EINSTAR’s EXStar Hub software on Windows, then hand clean STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, or ASC files to your downstream pipeline.
Scanner, carrying case, calibration board and universal holder, power adapter, swappable battery with charging cable, USB-C cable, and the 3 mm and 6 mm marker sets.
Add the EXModel Personal license for guided modeling, or step up to the Accessories Pro Kit — Rev1 can quote either bundle alongside the base scanner.
Setup, calibration, training, and troubleshooting come from Rev1’s US team — so a first-time scanner owner is productive quickly, not stuck reading forums.

Creality’s Raptor resolves slightly finer detail with its laser engine but costs more and stays cable-tethered; Revopoint’s Range 2 is a lower-cost IR scanner aimed at larger objects, without a true blue-laser mode for black or reflective surfaces. The EINSTAR 2’s edge is balance: a genuine blue-laser HD mode plus IR rapid, full color, and built-in Wi-Fi at an entry price. Rev1 will help you weigh detail, portability, and budget against the parts you actually scan.

EINSTAR 2 — Frequently Asked Questions
What is upgraded on the EINSTAR 2 vs the original EINSTAR?
The biggest change is a true blue-laser HD mode (17 parallel lines) added alongside the IR rapid mode, so the EINSTAR 2 can scan black and reflective surfaces without spray and resolve finer detail. It’s also truly wireless with built-in Wi-Fi, lighter at 420 g, and adds integrated full-color capture.
Does the EINSTAR 2 need a computer?
Yes. Unlike the standalone EINSTAR Vega, the EINSTAR 2 streams to EXStar Hub on a Windows PC — over Wi-Fi or USB-C. Rev1 can recommend a suitable PC configuration; if you want a scanner that runs without any computer, ask us about the Vega instead.
Can it scan black, shiny, or carbon-fiber parts?
Yes — that’s the main reason to choose the laser HD mode. The blue-laser engine captures dark, glossy, reflective, and carbon-fiber surfaces directly, with no matting spray or powder required.
How accurate and detailed are the scans?
EINSTAR publishes a point distance (resolution) down to 0.05 mm in laser HD mode, which suits reverse engineering, art and heritage capture, and 3D-printing workflows. For certified metrology-grade tolerances, Rev1 can recommend a higher-tier scanner.
What are the two scan modes for?
Laser HD (17 blue laser lines, 100–600 mm) is for fine detail and difficult surfaces. IR rapid (IR VCSEL, 160–1400 mm, up to 4.8 million points/s) is for fast capture of people and larger objects. You switch modes to match the part.
Does it capture color?
Yes. An integrated 2.3 MP color camera maps true-to-life texture onto your scans — ideal for art, cultural heritage, and AR/VR assets.
What file formats does it export?
EINSTAR 2 exports STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF, and ASC, so scans drop straight into common CAD, mesh-editing, and 3D-printing pipelines.
How long does the battery last?
The swappable 5500 mAh battery supports up to three hours of continuous scanning, and 60 W PD fast charging tops up a spare quickly. USB-C power is also available for tethered sessions.
Is the EINSTAR 2 a good fit for my application?
