TitleQuickly correct incorrect alignments
The rewind function makes it easy to correct misalignments during scanning without having to start the entire process from the beginning. As soon as a misalignment is recognised, the scanning process can be stopped and up to 200 images can be rewound by pressing the rewind button. The selected image is highlighted in red.
If an even earlier point in time is required, the process can be repeated until the desired initial image is reached.
TitleSupport for the Texture Mapper add-on
Texture Mapper Lite is a software developed by SHINING 3D that takes colour 3D scanning to a new level. This modern solution can be seamlessly combined with the EinScan 3D scanner and enables optimised processing of texture data for detailed and realistic scan results.
TitleIndicator for data quality
The data quality indicator provides a better visual representation of the captured scan data and helps you to achieve optimum results.
- Red area: The captured data is insufficient, a further scan is required.
- Green area: The data is complete and suitable for further processing.
TitleAutomatic cutting plane
With the automatic cutting plane function, the table plane is recognised and cut out during the preview. This eliminates the need to manually remove unwanted base data, which makes the work process considerably easier.
TitlePowerful software for Shining 3D scanners
EXScan is a powerful software solution for precise 3D scanning and data processing. Developed by SHINING3D, it enables intuitive and efficient capture, processing and optimisation of 3D scans. With intelligent algorithms and a user-friendly interface, both beginners and professionals can create high-quality digital models from physical objects. With advanced features such as the automatic cutting plane, scan rewind and data quality indicator, EXScan optimises the workflow and ensures accurate scanning results.
The software is specially tailored to the requirements of modern Shining3D scanners and utilises powerful hardware resources for fast and precise processing of scan data.

The EXScan software from SHINING 3D has been specially developed for use with the company's own EinScan 3D scanners. It offers seamless integration with these devices and enables precise capture, processing and optimisation of 3D scans. Due to the specific hardware and software tuning, EXScan is not compatible with 3D scanners from other manufacturers.
In addition to direct support for single-scan scanners, EXScan offers a variety of import and export formats that enable flexible further processing of the scan data in other programmes. This means that the captured models can be easily transferred to CAD software, 3D printing applications or rendering programmes.
