EINSTAR Vega Wireless All-in-One Standalone 3D Scanner
The first EINSTAR scanner that runs without a computer — an 8-core processor, 512 GB SSD, and a 6.4″ 2K AMOLED touchscreen built right in, with dual VCSEL + MEMS scanning that reaches from a coin to a car.
Vega is a true standalone 3D scanner: scan, process, and export complete 3D models directly on the device — no tethered laptop required. A long-range infrared VCSEL mode covers medium-to-large objects at up to 20 fps, while an infrared MEMS mode resolves fine detail down to a 0.05 mm point distance. A 48 MP color camera captures lifelike texture, and it keeps scanning outdoors in up to 100,000 lux of direct sunlight. Full specifications →

Two Scanners in One Body
One VCSEL Projector for Reach, One MEMS Projector for Detail
Most handheld scanners force a trade-off between speed and resolution. Vega carries two infrared light engines instead. The VCSEL projector drives a long-range Fast mode that sweeps medium-to-large objects from 270–1500 mm at up to 20 fps, while the MEMS projector powers an HD mode that resolves fine features at 100–350 mm down to a 0.05 mm point distance. Switch between them on the touchscreen mid-job — no add-on modules, no recalibration.
Smooth, stable capture over a wide working distance for car panels, furniture, sculpture, and full-body subjects — in almost any environment.
Tight point spacing for mechanical parts, coins, jewelry, and intricate surface texture where every sub-millimeter feature matters.
Change modes from the on-device display without restarting the scan or re-aligning — one tool for the whole part.
From a Coin to a Car
One Scanner Across Three Orders of Magnitude
Because the two modes hand off to each other, Vega’s practical range runs from objects a few centimeters across to subjects several meters long. The same device that captures a 35 mm coin in HD mode can sweep a full motorcycle, a human figure, or a multi-meter architectural relief in Fast mode — with a generous 1200 × 1450 mm field of view that keeps large captures fast and seamless.
Scan in Bright Sun or Total Dark
Strong Environment-Lighting Adaptability
Infrared projection lets Vega keep scanning where structured-light scanners struggle. It captures flawlessly under direct sunlight up to 100,000 lux, so outdoor jobs — heritage statues, vehicles, job-site parts — no longer wait for shade or a tent. After dark, real-time white balance plus a built-in fill light deliver true colors so the texture map looks right even when you’re scanning at night.
Built for Speed on Big Parts
High Frame Rate, Large FOV, Fewer Markers
For automotive, aerospace, and large-format work, throughput is everything. Fast mode runs up to 20 fps with a 1500 mm reach, so you cover sheet metal and body panels quickly. When markers are needed, Vega supports 12 mm markers — their wider spacing covers the same area with roughly 40% fewer dots than 6 mm markers, which means less prep time and faster tear-down on every job.
True-to-Life Geometry
Detail is where an entry-level scanner either earns its keep or disappoints. Vega is built to keep crisp geometry even before texture is applied, so the underlying mesh is dependable enough to measure, modify, and print from — not just pretty on screen.
Crisp Meshes Down to a 0.05 mm Point Distance
In HD mode the MEMS engine lays down points as tightly as 0.05 mm, so edges stay sharp, engraving stays legible, and organic surfaces keep their micro-relief. The raw geometry — shown here without texture — carries enough fidelity for reverse engineering, restoration, and digital archiving, and exports cleanly to PLY, STL, OBJ, or ASC for your CAD, mesh, or print pipeline.
48 MP Color That Never Fades
A 48 MP Camera for Lifelike, Lasting Color
Texture is what makes a scan look real. Vega’s 48 megapixel RGB camera records high-resolution color and maps it precisely onto the mesh, so painted statues, artwork, and packaging come back vivid and true. Combined with real-time white balance and the fill light, color stays consistent from the bright studio to a dim warehouse — ideal for digital art, AR/VR assets, and faithful cultural-heritage records.
Cut the Cable
A handheld scanner is only as mobile as its tether. Vega removes the capture box and the cable entirely, so the limiting factor becomes your reach — not the length of a USB lead — whether you’re circling a vehicle or working at the top of a ladder.
Wi-Fi 6 Scanning, Sharing & Screen Casting
Built-in Wi-Fi 6 means there is no cable tethering you to a workstation and no capture box to carry. Walk around the subject freely, then cast the live scan to a monitor so a client or team can watch in real time. Finished data shares straight to your personal cloud space for instant collaboration — with USB Type-C always there as a fallback when you want a wired link.
A Smart Scanning Terminal
Scan, Process & Model Directly on the Device
Vega is a complete mobile computing terminal. An 8-core 2.4 GHz processor, 32 GB of RAM, and an independent 512 GB SSD let it scan, fuse, and generate 3D models on board — no laptop in the loop. AI-assisted auto-exposure, adaptive scanning, data optimization, and real-time alignment run on the device, and it can buffer up to roughly 18,000 frames for big captures before you ever offload.
StarVision Runs on a 6.4″ 2K AMOLED Touchscreen
The onboard StarVision software puts mode selection, live FPS and point-count readouts, depth range, and editing tools right under your thumb on a bright 6.4 inch 2K AMOLED display. Start, preview, mesh, and review without looking at a second screen — the whole scan-to-model loop happens in your hands. When you do want the desktop, the same projects open in StarVision on Windows 10/11 or macOS.
Pro-Level Alignment & Markers
Four Alignment Modes, Chosen Per Object
Geometry-rich part? Use feature alignment. Flat or repetitive surface? Switch to texture, marker, or a hybrid that blends them. Vega exposes all four directly in the on-device advanced settings, alongside resolution and object/portrait presets, so you can match the tracking method to the part instead of fighting the scanner. Pro touches like auto base-plane detection round out the workflow.
12 mm Markers Cover More With Less Prep
Across a 1200 × 1450 mm field of view, Vega’s support for larger 12 mm markers covers the same area with about 40% fewer dots than conventional 6 mm markers. On a car door or large casting that means far less time spent placing and peeling markers — and scanning rewind lets you back up and re-capture a missed patch without starting over.
Your Data, Everywhere
Capturing the scan is only half the job — the rest is getting that data to the people and tools that need it. Vega closes the loop with a connected cloud workflow, so a finished mesh is one tap from a teammate, a client review, or a measurement check.
SHINING 3D Cloud: Share, Store & Measure
Finished scans flow from the device to SHINING 3D Cloud, where you get 5 GB of free storage plus tools for data sharing and collaboration, file management, and basic measurement — all from a browser. Hand a client a link instead of a hard drive, review dimensions on a big screen, and keep every project organized and backed up without a dedicated workstation.

The Raptor Pro’s blue-laser engine can resolve finer detail on small reflective parts, and a PC-tethered scanner can lean on a powerful workstation. Vega’s advantage is independence: a genuine all-in-one terminal — processor, SSD, and 2K AMOLED screen on board — that scans, processes, and exports anywhere, indoors or in full sun, without a laptop. Rev1 will help you weigh detail, portability, and budget against the parts you actually scan.

EINSTAR Vega — Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EINSTAR Vega really work without a computer?
Yes. Vega is a true standalone scanner with an 8-core processor, 32 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and a 6.4″ 2K AMOLED touchscreen. You can scan, process, mesh, and export complete 3D models on the device itself. A PC running StarVision is optional for heavier post-processing.
What is the difference between Fast mode and HD mode?
Fast mode uses an infrared VCSEL projector for long-range capture (270–1500 mm) at up to 20 fps — ideal for medium-to-large objects. HD mode uses an infrared MEMS projector at a closer 100–350 mm for fine detail, with a point distance as small as 0.05 mm. You can switch modes on the touchscreen during a job.
How accurate and detailed are the scans?
EINSTAR publishes a point distance (resolution) down to 0.05 mm in HD mode. That makes Vega well suited to reverse engineering, art and heritage capture, and 3D-printing workflows. For demanding metrology-grade tolerances, Rev1 can recommend a higher-tier metrology scanner instead.
Can it scan outdoors and in direct sunlight?
Yes. Vega’s infrared light source keeps scanning in up to 100,000 lux of direct sunlight, and a real-time white balance plus built-in fill light keep color accurate in low light. It carries an IP50 rating and operates from −10°C to 40°C.
What size objects can the Vega handle?
From small parts around 35 mm up to multi-meter subjects such as vehicles, furniture, and architectural elements. A 1200 × 1450 mm field of view and 12 mm marker support keep large captures efficient.
Do I need markers to scan?
Often, no — Vega supports marker-free feature and texture alignment. For featureless or repetitive surfaces you can switch to marker or hybrid alignment. It accepts both 6 mm and 12 mm markers, and the larger 12 mm dots cover the same area with about 40% fewer placements.
What file formats does it export?
Vega exports PLY, STL, OBJ, and ASC, so scans drop straight into common CAD, mesh-editing, and 3D-printing pipelines. Data can be shared from the device to SHINING 3D Cloud, which includes 5 GB of free storage.
How long does the battery last?
Vega has a built-in 5000 mAh battery and supports 65 W PD/PPS fast charging. You can also run it from a USB-C power bank for extended, untethered sessions in the field.
