EINSTAR is the consumer and prosumer 3D scanning brand of SHINING 3D, and its UK store sells scanning hardware alongside the software that pairs with it. The handheld scanners anchor the range — the EINSTAR and EINSTAR 2 units, the pocket-sized Rockit and the wireless all-in-one VEGA — with the wider EinScan family extending upward into desktop and standalone territory through the SP V2 and SE V2, the tri-mode laser Rigil and Rigil Lite, and the marker-free Trak tracking system. Software is sold in its own right rather than only as a bundle: EXModel and EXModel Personal cover scan-to-CAD and reverse-engineering work, while EXMeasure is aimed at inspection and measurement, so an existing scanner owner can add capability without new hardware. Scanning consumables sit behind those — markers in three sizes, matte reference spheres and ball bars, calibration hardware, tripods and scanning spray. Pricing is professional rather than hobbyist: at the time of writing handheld units start around £645 and the desktop and standalone scanners run to several thousand pounds. Two UK-specific terms are worth knowing before you order — delivery to the UK is charged rather than free, and because UK orders ship from the brand’s German warehouse, any customs duties or import charges are the recipient’s responsibility.

EINSTAR is the consumer and prosumer arm of SHINING 3D, and its UK store is a specialist 3D-scanning shop rather than a general electronics retailer. The handheld units anchor the range — the EINSTAR and EINSTAR 2, the pocket-sized Rockit and the wireless VEGA — with the EinScan family extending upward into desktop and standalone machines including the Rigil, Rigil Lite and the Trak tracking system. At the time of writing handhelds start around £645 and the larger machines run into several thousand pounds.
Software is sold in its own right, which is the part most buyers overlook. EXModel and the cheaper EXModel Personal handle scan-to-CAD and reverse-engineering work, while EXMeasure is aimed at inspection and measurement, so an existing owner can add capability without replacing hardware. Scanning consumables sit behind both — reference markers, matte spheres and ball bars, a tripod and scanning spray.
Two UK terms are worth knowing before you order, because the brand’s American store does not share them. Delivery to the UK is charged rather than free, and UK stock ships from the company’s German warehouse, so customs duties or import charges fall to the recipient. On a machine costing several thousand pounds both are proportionally small; on a set of markers they are not.
For buying tips, work out whether your bottleneck is capture or processing before spending. If you already own a scanner, an EXModel or EXMeasure licence is a cheaper route to new capability than a second machine, and software is the one part of this catalogue carrying a discount code at the time of writing. For a first scanner, handhelds suit objects you can walk around; desktop machines suit small parts on a turntable. Consolidate accessories into one order, since each delivery carries its own charge.
