EinScan Libre 3D Scanner

The Shining 3D EinScan Libre is a compact all-in-one laser 3D scanner providing a fully wireless, markerless, and full-color 3D scanning experience. The model is engineered with two light sources, combining the infrared VCSEL and Blue Laser scanning technologies in a single device. As a completely wireless solution powered by a large built-in touchscreen and potent NVIDIA processor, the Libre model offers the perfect balance of freedom and efficiency. The scanner does not require a powerful PC and provides a complete on-device workflow. It enables one to scan, edit, save, and share high-quality data through integrated EXScan Libre software, ensuring reliable results with versatile, user-friendly operation.

The EinScan Libre from Shining 3D boasts high-resolution accurate scans and fast acquisition speed. The flexible working distance allows scanning items of different sizes in two IR modes (VCSEL for long-range scanning) or Laser HD mode (Blue laser light source for short-range scanning). While the former is used for smoother experience in an unlimited environment, the latter boasts more stable scanning for capturing high-detail data with volumetric accuracy up to 0.04 + 0.06 mm/m. Thanks to multiple alignment options, the EinScan Libre can scan markerless or in combined mode (Feature+Marker+Texture) to convey authentic colors, textures, and all the smallest details of the scanned objects.

Due to the integrated 48MP color camera, the EinScan Libre is capable of making full-color scans, while ensuring flawless indoor and outdoor performance even in bright light. Libre’s portable design with two rechargeable batteries ensures comfortable wireless operation with scanning time of 3 hours. Considering its bright and clear 5.5'' HD OLED screen, intuitive controls, potent software, and long-term standalone operation, the EinScan Libre guarantees a smooth 3D scanning workflow for both beginners and experienced users.

With its hybrid light source and thoughtful design, the EinScan Libre can be used for numerous applications, such as high-quality reverse engineering, manufacturing, 3D modeling, customized products, scanning industrial parts, sculptures, artifacts, human bodies, healthcare, research, education, virtual displays, and more.

Scan accuracy

The resolution provided by the EinScan Libre varies depending on the selected scanning mode. In IR modes, the point distance is 0.5–10 mm. Laser HD mode allows you to create point clouds with a point distance of 0.05–3.0 mm. 

Equipped with a high-performance processor and generous storage, the EinScan Libre provides wireless freedom without compromising computing speed. The integrated NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX 16GB, 8-core CPU and Ampere GPU with 1024 CUDA cores delivers fast data processing. With expansive 1TB SSD storage, one can scan freely without worrying about running out of space—whether high-res models or hefty projects.

Due to the built-in 48MP color camera, the EinScan Libre boasts high-quality imaging and life-like color capture, which makes it great for scanning objects with rich colors and delivering breathtaking photorealistic color textures.

The EinScan Libre allows for reliable scanning both indoor and outdoor, EVEN in the sunlight. In combination with its optimized portability and easy-to-carry design, the Libre model is ideal for travel and various outdoor projects.

Another pleasant feature of the Libre scanner is its ability to capture black and metal objects without special sprays. Thus, one can easily scan cars, car parts, tires, and other black or metal objects to get the desired model effect.

Scanning modes

Combining two scanning technologies in a single device, the EinScan Libre offers three flexible scanning modes to cover object sizes ranging from 0.1 m to over 10 m. These IR (infrared) and laser modes help the scanner adapt to all kinds of materials, whether you are indoors or outdoors in direct sunlight.

Laser HD mode based on the blue laser light source is meant for marker-free, high-detailed scanning with rich texture. With its revolutionary 101 laser lines, this mode provides resolution up to 0.05 mm and supports texture alignment.

IR Rapid Mode is realized through the VCSEL projector. Ideal for larger areas (FOV of 983 x 979 mm, with a working distance up to 1.5 m), this mode is designed for marker-free and high-efficiency scanning with invisible, eye-safe infrared light. It is less sensitive to ambient light, making it perfect for outdoor use.

IR Adaptive Mode is perfect for reflective and black surfaces, delivering reliable results with its 38 IR laser lines.

The EinScan Libre offers five alignment methods to choose from — namely, Markers, Global Markers, Feature, Texture, and Hybrid.

Scan volume

The EinScan Libre features three versatile scanning modes, which makes for a flexible scanning range for rendering objects of different sizes. The scanner’s working distance varies from 200–500 mm in Laser HD mode to 500–1500 mm in IR Rapid mode. This allows Libre to effectively capture both small and large objects, such as a real-size car without a loss of precision and detail.
