SHINING 3D EXScan Guided Scanning · Post-Processing · Mesh Editing · STL / OBJ / PLY Out
The scanning software that ships free with every EinScan 3D scanner — capture, align, edit, and export watertight mesh in one guided workflow, with no license fee and free updates for life.
EXScan is SHINING 3D's versatile scanning software, purpose-built for the EinScan series. It guides you step-by-step from calibration through scanning and data editing — with scan rewind (up to 200 frames), a live data-quality indicator, an auto cutting-plane, and a full post-processing toolset for clean, hole-fill, simplification, smoothing, and sharpening. Export watertight STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, 3MF, or P3 for reverse engineering, inspection, 3D printing, or CAD. Use and maintenance are free of charge. Full specifications →

One Guided Workflow. Scan In, Watertight Mesh Out.
SHINING 3D EXScan is the versatile scanning software that drives the EinScan series — and it is free of charge with every scanner. It guides you step-by-step from calibration through capture, alignment, and data editing, then hands off a clean, watertight mesh in the format your downstream tools expect. There is no license fee, and software updates are free for the life of the scanner.
Clean, Fill, and Refine the Mesh — In the Same App.
Auto Fill, Smooth & Sharpen
The mesh is processed automatically the moment a scan finishes, and EXScan's post-processing tab gives you a full editing toolset to take it the rest of the way. Auto and manual hole filling close gaps, data simplification and mesh optimization control file size, and smoothing and sharpening balance surface finish against detail. Remove small floating parts, mirror geometry, and apply an auto cutting-plane — all with adjustable low / medium / high strength.
Scan Once, Align Automatically, Export to CAD.
Rewind, Auto-Align & Straight to CAD
EXScan guides capture with a live data-quality indicator — red where data is thin, green where it is sufficient — and scan rewind lets you roll back up to 200 frames to correct a misalignment instead of starting over. Marker, feature, and hybrid alignment stitch multi-angle scans automatically, and the auto cutting-plane drops the turntable base for you. The finished watertight mesh exports straight into CAD, inspection, or reverse-engineering software.
Smart Defaults With Full Manual Control.
One-Click Cleanup, or Dial It In Yourself
Intelligent algorithms handle the routine work automatically — auto hole filling, auto cutting-plane, and one-click optimization — while every tool still exposes low / medium / high strength for full manual control. Smoothing evens out noise, sharpening restores edge detail, and simplification trims triangle count without losing accuracy, so the same scan can go straight to 3D print or feed a precision reverse-engineering workflow.
Export the Mesh — or Publish It Straight to the Web.
STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, 3MF & P3
EXScan exports the finished mesh as STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, or 3MF, plus a P3 global-markers file for re-loading marker frames — so the scan drops cleanly into reverse-engineering, inspection, CAD, or slicing software. Textured scans carry full-color data, and a built-in one-click publish sends the model straight to Sketchfab to share online. Whatever the downstream tool, EXScan hands off a format it accepts without translation.
One Free Software, Every EinScan Application.
Wherever an EinScan scanner captures a part, EXScan turns it into a usable mesh. Pair the right EinScan scanner with EXScan and book a live scan demo on your own part.
From Table-Top Objects to Full Assemblies
Because EXScan drives the whole EinScan family — desktop SE / SP, handheld Pro, H, and HX series — the same workflow scales from a small table-top part to a full vehicle body. Capture, align, edit, and export once, and the mesh is ready for whatever comes next: reverse engineering in EXModel, inspection in Geomagic Control X, print prep, or a shareable web model. One free tool, the whole EinScan lineup.
EXScan, EXScan Pro & EXScan H — All Free With the Scanner.
SHINING 3D ships an EXScan edition matched to each EinScan family — and every one is free of charge, bundled with the scanner, with free updates for life. Rev1 confirms the right EinScan scanner and makes sure the matching EXScan version is installed and configured for your parts.
SHINING 3D EXScan vs. Artec Studio vs. Revopoint Studio
How EXScan compares on the things that matter in scanner-bundled software — license cost, guided workflow, post-processing depth, and export formats.
| Capability | SHINING 3D EXScan | Artec Studio | Revopoint Studio |
|---|---|---|---|
| License cost | Free — bundled with scanner | Paid subscription | Free |
| Guided step-by-step workflow | Calibrate → scan → edit, guided | Guided | Guided |
| Scan rewind | Up to 200 frames | Frame editing | Limited |
| Post-processing tools | Clean, fill, simplify, smooth, sharpen | Extensive | Clean, fill, simplify |
| Export formats | STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, 3MF, P3 | STL, OBJ, PLY + more | STL, OBJ, PLY |
| Software updates | Free for life | With subscription | Free |
Competitor figures are approximate, from publicly available manufacturer information, and vary by version and hardware; provided by Rev1 Technologies for general orientation. EXScan is included free with every EinScan scanner and covers the full capture-to-mesh workflow with free lifetime updates; Artec Studio leads on the deepest professional post-processing feature set, and Revopoint Studio on a lightweight free workflow for its own scanners. Rev1 can scope all three against your parts and scanner.
