EinScan H2 — Hybrid Infrared and Structured Light 3D Scanning

The EinScan H2 is SHINING 3D’s hybrid handheld 3D scanner designed to combine high-resolution structured light scanning with infrared VCSEL technology in a single portable system. Built for professional applications requiring both detailed geometry capture and realistic full-color texture acquisition, the H2 is engineered for workflows ranging from human scanning and healthcare to reverse engineering, digital archiving, and virtual content creation.

The scanner improves upon the original EinScan H platform with upgraded texture resolution, enhanced facial scanning capability, improved hair capture performance, and expanded adaptability across different object types and lighting conditions.

Hybrid Light Source Technology

The EinScan H2 combines structured white LED light and infrared VCSEL projection into one handheld scanning platform. This dual-light-source architecture allows the scanner to adapt to different scanning scenarios while maintaining stable tracking and high-quality geometry acquisition.

The infrared VCSEL system is optimized for comfortable human scanning, reducing harsh visible light exposure during face and body capture. This makes the scanner particularly suitable for portrait scanning, healthcare applications, prosthetics, orthotics, and digital human modeling workflows.

At the same time, the structured light system supports detailed geometry acquisition for objects requiring higher surface precision and texture clarity.

High-Resolution Texture and Geometry Capture

The EinScan H2 features a 5MP texture camera system designed to significantly improve color texture quality and surface detail compared to previous generations. Full-color texture acquisition allows scanned models to retain realistic surface appearance alongside accurate geometry.

The scanner supports resolution down to 0.25 mm and delivers capture speeds up to 1,200,000 points per second. This balance between speed and detail allows the H2 to handle both fast scanning workflows and more detailed object digitization tasks.

Its improved texture fidelity and geometry quality make it suitable for applications including cultural preservation, medical modeling, education, art digitization, VR/AR content creation, and digital presentation workflows.

Optimized for Human Scanning

One of the major strengths of the EinScan H2 is its ability to scan human subjects comfortably and efficiently. The infrared VCSEL light source improves eye safety and user comfort during facial and body scanning sessions while also helping improve hair capture performance compared to traditional structured-light systems.

The scanner supports rapid face and body acquisition with natural color texture capture, making it well suited for applications including:

• Healthcare and prosthetics
• Orthotics and custom wearables
• Cosmetic and aesthetic documentation
• Digital avatar creation
• VR and metaverse workflows
• Education and research
• Art and portrait digitization

Its handheld design and flexible alignment modes also help simplify scanning of subjects in seated, standing, or dynamic positions.

Flexible Object Scanning

Beyond human scanning, the EinScan H2 is designed to handle a broad variety of physical objects. The scanner supports feature alignment, marker alignment, texture alignment, and hybrid alignment workflows depending on the geometry and surface characteristics being scanned.

This flexibility allows the H2 to capture objects including sculptures, medium-sized industrial parts, furniture, archaeological artifacts, design prototypes, and artistic models.

Its structured-light system helps maintain detailed geometry acquisition while the hybrid tracking system improves scanning stability across varying surface types.

Portable Professional Workflow

The EinScan H2 is designed as a lightweight handheld scanning solution suitable for both studio and mobile workflows. USB connectivity simplifies deployment while maintaining high-speed data transfer and stable scanning performance.

The scanner integrates with SHINING 3D’s ExScan software platform, supporting mesh generation, texture processing, scan editing, alignment tools, and export workflows for downstream CAD, visualization, animation, and 3D printing applications.

Supported export formats include STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, and 3MF, enabling compatibility with a wide range of professional software ecosystems.

Designed for Creative and Professional Applications

The EinScan H2 bridges the gap between professional object scanning and human digitization by combining hybrid infrared technology, structured light precision, realistic color capture, and portable handheld operation into a single flexible platform.

Its combination of user comfort, full-color texture quality, and adaptable scanning workflows makes it suitable for healthcare, education, design, cultural preservation, reverse engineering, digital media, and virtual production environments.
