EXModel Personal
Effortless Interaction
The EXModel Personal is seamlessly integrated with EXStar Hub software. After scanning, you can transfer the mesh data to EXModel Personal with a single click, making the transition from scan to design even easier.
Mesh Editing
EXModel Personal's mesh editing tools are simple to use and make it easy to reduce data size while maintaining accuracy. You can easily fill in holes and remove mesh outliers to easily create watertight meshes for 3D printing or reverse engineering.
Primitives Extraction
EXModel Personal quickly reconstructs planes, cylinders, cones, and spheres. Additionally, create reference geometries like lines and points for use in aligning meshes to the world coordinate system or to other scans.
3D Sketching & Fill Surface
Draw freeform curves directly on the reference mesh and create blended curves ready for future use, including filled surfaces, free forms from 3D sketches, or any other surface manipulation. You can also create bounded surfaces from 3D sketches and get the best base shapes for your reference data for more accurate results.
Constrained 2D Sketching
Use the dimensioning and constraint tools to create accurate sketches like in any other CAD package. Interactive cutting allows users to extract reference points for 2D sketches. Interactive creation can collaborate with world or CAD planes, or even cut surfaces of aligned curves. For even more power and efficiency, users can create multiple cutting surfaces at once.
Comparison & Analysis
With EXModel Personal software, after creating features based on existing mesh, the comparison and analysis function can be used to monitor the real-time error between the newly created model and the original scanned mesh. At the same time, custom tolerance values can be dynamically adjusted, which is very convenient and intuitive.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How it compare to original EINSTAR?
The EINSTAR 2 is a major step up from the original. It introduces a new laser mode for capturing finer details on small objects and can handle reflective surfaces without spray. The tracking in IR mode is even better, and the true wireless design offers greater flexibility. Furthermore, the new software delivers dramatically faster processing speeds and many other refined features to explore.
-
What is true wireless of EINSTAR 2 means?
EINSTAR2 has a built-in Wi-Fi module for wireless connection which means there is no additional accessories required, save setup time.The whole scanning process is wireless. A USB Type-C cable connection is also available for stable operation in case of Wi-Fi interference.
-
Can EINSTAR 2 work effectively outdoors or under bright lighting?
Yes, EINSTAR 2 is designed for outdoor scanning. The Laser HD mode works under bright light up to 110,000 Lux, and the IR Rapid mode supports up to 70,000 Lux, making it reliable for scanning large objects in daylight or under vehicle lights.
-
What is the advantage of the 17 parallel laser lines compared to other laser patterns?
optimal balance between speed and detail. Compared to a 7-line pattern, it captures sufficient detail quality while expanding the effective scanning range to cover medium-sized objects, completing such scans much faster. This design positions itself as a cost-effective solution between parallel-line and crossed-line systems. Ultimately, it grants the EINSTAR 2 a versatile scanning capability comparable to that of scanners equipped with multiple dedicated laser sources.
-
What is the object type and size EINSTAR 2 can scan?
From tiny details (5mm) to large scenes (10m), EINSTAR 2 can handle it. It switches between two modes: the laser mode for small to medium objects and the infrared mode for large object and expansive areas. This flexibility allows it to tackle most materials lik eblack or reflective surfaces.
-
What is the battery life?
It features a chargeable battery with up to 3 hours of runtime.There are two batteries and one charger for battery, which means you can use one battery and charge another at the same time, scanning without power anxiety.
