When you invest in 3D scanning equipment, you need a partner, not just a vendor. With over 25 years experience in 3d scanning, reverse engineering and Inspection- 3D Printer Superstore is staffed by a dedicated team of Industrial Designers and Engineers who use this technology daily. We can provide deep technical consultation to ensure the equipment fits your specific engineering or inspection workflow, backed by a team that understands the practical realities of high-end 3D scanning.

Yes. We know that maximizing the ROI on the Shining 3D Einscan Trak 3D Scanner requires proper technique. We offer expert training resources and advice to get your team operational quickly. Because we use these scanners for our own reverse engineering projects, we can share practical "tips and tricks" and advanced workflow insights that go beyond standard manufacturer manuals.

The EinScan Trak is the world's first wireless, dual-form, marker-free 3D tracking system. It integrates a wide-area optical tracker with a detachable handheld spherical scanner, capturing data at 2.9 million points per second for both expansive surfaces and micro-level geometric details in a single continuous workflow.

Traditional tracking setups anchor you to a workstation with rigid cables. The Trak uses an independent Wi-Fi 6 LAN that pairs instantly at startup. You get a 4-metre roaming range without signal degradation. This fundamentally shifts how you approach large-scale captures like automotive bodies, marine hulls, and heavy industrial castings. You move freely. The data flows seamlessly.

For most industrial materials, no. For transparent surfaces, yes. The EinScan Trak’s blue laser arrays natively capture black materials, reflective metallic finishes, and chrome without any surface preparation. However, transparent or highly translucent parts, such as glass or clear plastics, still require a light dusting of vanishing scanning spray to provide a readable surface for the lasers to reflect against.

The system is engineered to handle extreme optical contrasts natively. You can move directly from scanning a matte carbon fibre panel to a highly polished chrome bumper without pausing to powder the surface. The concentrated blue laser light cuts through the optical interference that typically blinds standard structured light scanners, minimising data loss on dark and shiny components. This eliminates the tedious prep and post-scan clean-up associated with traditional metrology workflows.

Optical physics, however, still dictate the limits of any laser-based system. When dealing with transparent or heavily translucent materials—like automotive windshields, polycarbonate headlamp covers, or clear cast resins—the laser beam passes straight through the object rather than bouncing back to the system's depth sensors. In these specific edge cases, a micro-thin application of a sublimating spray is mandatory. It creates the temporary, opaque geometry the sensor needs to lock onto, before evaporating entirely a few hours later.

No. The EinScan Trak features a complete Marker-Free Tracking System across both its operational modes. You scan large object surfaces directly without applying physical target dots.

Applying targets to a supercar chassis or a delicate heritage artefact is a high-friction process. We see this bottleneck constantly on the ground. The optical tracker locks onto the spherical scanner's geometry dynamically. When detached for handheld mode, the system's blue laser arrays utilise feature-rich surface tracking. This cuts preparation time to zero. Your metrology workflow starts the moment you pull the trigger.

The system combines two scanners into one unified workflow. Tracking Mode links the optical tracker and spherical scanner for fast, wireless capture of medium-to-large objects. Handheld Scanner Mode allows you to detach the unit to scan complex, hard-to-reach areas independently.

You don't need separate devices for the macro and the micro. Scan a vehicle's exterior panels in Tracking Mode. Detach the spherical scanner. Move directly into the engine bay or interior cabin in Handheld Mode. The point cloud registers perfectly. This eliminates the headache of merging disparate datasets from entirely different hardware ecosystems.

The system deploys three distinct blue laser scanning modes to handle varying surface geometries:

• 19 + 19 Crossed Lines: Built for maximum throughput. It acquires volumetric data rapidly across large, sweeping panels.
• 7 Parallel Lines: Engineered for high-resolution edge definition. Use this for capturing the sharp mechanical contours and intricate surface features critical to tight-tolerance reverse engineering.
• Single Laser Line: Deep-hole penetration. This isolated laser strikes the bottom of narrow channels and internal structural cavities where standard cross-hatches fail to return data.

Yes. The entire system is engineered for field mobility rather than stationary lab deployment. Traditional optical tracking configurations weigh down engineers with heavy, rigid cabling, fixed mounting frames, and delicate calibration hurdles that tether equipment to a single room.

The EinScan Trak dismantles these physical bottlenecks through intentional design choices:

• Wireless Infrastructure: Driven by an independent Wi-Fi 6 LAN network. You eliminate tethered data cables and external power distribution loops during on-site captures.
• Detachable Ergonomics: The handheld spherical scanner undocks instantly from its tracking mount. You transition from wide-area tracking to close-quarter manual scanning without halting your data pipeline.
• Compact Field Footprint: Packaged in a rugged transport casing designed to withstand transit across harsh industrial sites, automotive workshops, and remote heritage locations.

Field work demands agility. You drop the kit into your vehicle, drive to the facility, power up, and begin data acquisition immediately without lengthy re-calibration procedures.

Absolutely. We invite you to contact us to arrange a demonstration at our Geelong, or If you are interstate, we can scheduled a time for a hands-on demonstration. You can bring your own parts to scan, allowing you to verify the accuracy and workflow suitability of the Einscan Trak Series for your specific application before investing.
