Pillars of Growth: Customer Service and R&D

In addition to the support of its stakeholders, SHINING 3D’s growth is intrinsically tied to two pillars: unwavering commitment to customer service and continuous investment in research and development.

With a global presence spanning Asia, Europe, and North America, and a robust network of local sales partners all around the globe, we ensure swift and dependable customer support and training.

Through this network, we actively seek and embrace customer feedback, using it as a valuable resource to improve our products and tailor them precisely to user needs. To empower our engineers with the agility to do so, SHINING 3D reinvests over 20% of its revenue back into R&D each year. 

This synergy between customer service and R&D is what will continue to fuel our identity as a dynamic and innovative provider of 3D vision technology over the next decades.

One Provider, Many Industries

While many of our solutions are versatile, a “one size fits all” 3D scanner does not yet exist. Different users have different priorities, whether it’s precision, resolution, texture, or flexibility.

That’s why our portfolio is so diverse. SHINING 3D offers a wide range of solutions that enable individuals and businesses to access 3D scanning without the frills. From industrial-grade solutions for precision metrology to entry-level devices for makers and schools, there is a reliable option for each use case and budget.

Metrology: Utmost precision, accuracy, and reliability

SHINING 3D’s metrology solutions consist of hardware and software packages that cater to industrial-grade applications like quality inspection and critical part maintenance. They are made with the best optical components and lasers to provide the highest accuracy of the SHINING 3D lineup.

“We have purchased FreeScan UE and Digimetric with the need to measure details with adequate precision before and after mechanical processing. We mainly work with welded carpentry [where] objects from a previous processing phase might have errors which could lead to longer processing times than expected. Accurately acquiring the geometry of the pieces to be processed allows us to considerably save time during mechanical processing. FreeScan and Digimetric allow us to achieve a high precision so that we can also have the opportunity to check the work performed.”

Professional: Flexibility, modularity, and precision

Our 3D scanners for professionals are covered by the EinScan line-up of desktop, handheld, and hybrid devices. They’re cost-effective solutions that are easy to install and use, perfect for novices and advanced users alike. SHINING 3D EinScan scanners are ideal for reverse engineering and product design use cases.

“I was impressed by the range of applications (from art to industrial) and different scanning processes (fixed vs. freehand). The industrial and color packs added all the extra features I needed. The total price was within budget and significantly more approachable than other competitors. I was floored by the detail captured and the ease of use. It just works and works phenomenally.”
