SHINING 3D Launches EinScan Trak: A New Era in 3D Tracking
SHINING 3D, a leader in high-precision 3D digitization solutions with over 20 years of expertise, has introduced an innovative wireless 3D tracking system named
EinScan Trak. This groundbreaking technology aims to streamline the 3D scanning process for large objects, making it easier, more efficient, and versatile than ever before.
Simplifying Large Object Scanning
Scanning large objects often involves extensive preparations, including attaching markers, managing cables, and positioning equipment according to the scan range. The
EinScan Trak minimizes these burdens by implementing a wireless, marker-free tracking approach. Utilizing a tracker in conjunction with a spherical scanner allows for expansive scanning capabilities without the need for physical markers on the objects.
Efficient Scanning with No Additional Markers
One of the standout features of
EinScan Trak is its ability to maintain tracking accuracy without needing to attach markers to the scanned objects. The spherical scanner is integrated with reflective markers that enable real-time tracking of its position and orientation. Thus, it can function effectively on surfaces lacking rich geometric features, such as car hoods, boat hulls, and other large, smooth objects.
This feature particularly benefits applications where minimizing physical alterations to the surface is crucial, such as in the case of expensive vehicles, painted surfaces, or cultural heritage items.
Dual-Mode Flexibility
Designed with adaptability in mind,
EinScan Trak features a dual-form design allowing users to select from two operational modes based on the task requirements:
1. Tracking Mode
This mode empowers users to cover large objects efficiently through a combination of tracking and spherical scanning, accommodating a maximum tracking volume of 15 m³ and a wireless tracking range up to 4 m. It’s ideal for capturing the overall shapes of vehicles, ships, large machinery, and industrial equipment without compromising efficiency.
2. Handheld Scanner Mode
In scenarios where traditional tracking setups may be impractical, users can detach the scanner from its frame, transforming it into a stand-alone wireless handheld laser scanner. This mode offers flexibility to access tight spaces or small components, adeptly handling intricate scanning tasks where traditional methods might falter.
By switching between modes rather than swapping out equipment, operators can take full advantage of the
EinScan Trak's capabilities for both large and small-scale scanning tasks.
Smart Merging of Data
EinScan Trak stands out with its intelligent merging workflow, allowing users to integrate data collected from different modes into a single cohesive 3D model. After efficiently capturing the overall shape in Tracking Mode, scanning can continue to gather high-resolution data on important features in Handheld Mode, all while ensuring unique area resolutions through local enhancements. For example, when scanning a car, one can efficiently capture the overall body, then use Handheld Mode for finer details such as the interior and wheel components, merging everything into one model seamlessly.
Versatile Laser Modes
To accommodate varying shapes and sizes,
EinScan Trak provides three distinct blue laser modes:
- - Cross Laser Line Mode: Contains 19+19 lines for fast and efficient scanning of large surfaces and overall shapes.
- - Parallel Laser Line Mode: Equipped with 7 lines to capture intricate details like sharp edges and small contours, ideal for reverse engineering tasks.
- - Single Laser Line Mode: Designed for accessing deep holes and narrow spaces that conventional lasers struggle to illuminate.
Wireless Operation for Ultimate Mobility
Thanks to its Wi-Fi 6 communication module and built-in battery,
EinScan Trak enables users to work in a completely wireless environment without being tethered to cables. Each unit automatically connects at startup, eliminating the hassle of complex wiring before getting started with scanning.
While moving around large vehicles or scanning expansive structures like ships and factory equipment, the freedom provided by wireless capabilities facilitates a far more dynamic working environment.
Robust Performance Under Varying Conditions
EinScan Trak is designed to perform under real-world conditions, allowing for scans on challenging surfaces such as black materials, reflective surfaces, and even in outdoor environments with strong lighting. Operating effectively under temperatures between -10°C and 40°C, it ensures simplified calibration in about 5-10 minutes and boasts impressive battery life, lasting up to 5.5 hours in Tracking Mode and 3.5 hours in Handheld Scan Mode.
Additionally, high-strength CFFIM carbon fiber construction allows for both durability and portability, making it an excellent choice for long-duration projects.
High-Quality Texture Capture
Equipped with a 5MP texture camera,
EinScan Trak allows users to digitize not only the shape but also the aesthetics of objects, capturing color and surface texture, invaluable for industries like art and heritage preservation.
Streamlined Software Workflow
The dedicated EXScan Trak software, along with the EXModel Series and EXMeasure, forms an integrated workflow for capturing, editing, and measuring 3D data effectively. From real-time adjustments during scanning to transforming scan data into editable CAD models, it supports a diverse range of applications.
Conclusion: Shaping the Future of 3D Tracking
EinScan Trak redefines the complexities of digitizing large objects. It removes the barriers of marker application, offers seamless mobility without cumbersome cables, and facilitates a comprehensive workflow that links 3D scanning to design, manufacturing, and documentation processes.
By turning the paradigm of conventional 3D tracking on its head,
EinScan Trak positions itself as an essential tool for professionals across numerous industries, ranging from automotive and engineering to cultural heritage and beyond. These advancements underscore SHINING 3D's commitment to delivering innovative, high-tech solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency in 3D digitization.
