Please can you do a video where you showcase each scanning option and explain the difference between each of them? I’m having a hard time understanding each of them and how to combine together depending on the part I’m trying to scan 🙏
Sure we can create another video later. In the meantime, you may see one other video below. It has detailed explanation for each feature. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eTjd85uRcJ4.html
Excellent video thanks. I have just started to use my Einstar and am very impressed with it. I did however have a problem after scanning a part in my boat approx 1,5 metres long 1 metre tall. It scanned beautifully but when it came to the generating a point Cloud bit it hung up at 43% and I lost all the data by having to shut down. I think the file size was too big . Is there a way of telling that your file is getting too big? Can you split the project at this stage and generate several smaller point clouds to merge later? Any help appreciated Thanks P.S. my laptop meets all the specs advised .
Hello, Thanks for your message! If the computer crashed, you still can restart your computer and open your previous project file to resume your original project. After you open the original project, you can continue to create Point cloud. In addition, for scanning large object, you can split into 2~3 projects and align them together later. But make sure you have enough common (overlap) area in between each project. Best regards
i make carbon fiber parts, i am looking for dimensional accuracy. Do you think this is the right purchase? I model in 3ds max, i have a controlled environment for scanning and no time limit for scanning. Thanks
The Einstar's point deviation is about 0.045mm from my testing(im not sure what the exact volumetric accuracy is, its not listed under the specs). It's not designed as a engineering scanner so I would recommend something in the Einscan series, but it could work. I would recommend trying it and seeing if it fits within your tolerances.
We are happy to help! First of all, you will need to decide if your object needs to put the markers or not for the alignment. If you can provide us more info, we can help it specifically. You can also email us info@umax.com to arrange a dedicated support if you like.
If you've made two different scans and the software can't align them together automatically, you will need to align it manually. You can either use "3 points align" or "feature align" to do it manually.
The bottom line is that these two different scans must have some common shared area between each other. The more common area they have, the more chance they can get better alignment.
If I have a nice laptop with good processor and good GPU but only 16gb of RAM, is it possible to collect scan data on a laptop, then finish the processing on a desktop with more ram?
According to the manufacture, the required configuration is below: CPU: Intel Core i7-11800H or above System RAM: 32GB or above Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 1060 or above Video RAM: 6GB or above I believe 16GB should work but will be very slow depending on your data size. If your scanned data size is big, you really need to get at least 32GB system memory. Also make sure its video card is Nvidia GTX 1060 or higher. Nvidia RTX is recommended anyway.
@@umax2639 I Understand that period are those required for scanning or for processing. Can the scanning and processing parts be done on different computers?
Yes. You can scan and get the scanned data to one computer. And then copy this file to the other computer for post processing. At post processing, you can edit the scanned data and save into meshed STL files.
The spec from the manufacture is CPU: Intel Core i7-11800H or above, RAM: 32GB or above, Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 1060 or above, VRAM: 6GB or above. Basically I would recommend people to buy a computer with Nvidia RTX video card with at least 32GB system memory.
@@umax2639 I can read the manufacturer specs myself, I see you using a laptop, so I wanted to know particular spec of the hardware you used for the demonstration
@@umax2639 thank you for the answer, the reason I'm asking so specifically, was because when I first bought the Einstar, I had a desktop pc with i7-6700, rtx 3080, ddr4 32GB, and scanning performance was very poor, constantly losing reference, fps in general was bad, 4-5 fps, upgraded the same pc with new mb, i7-13700, same ram, same rtx3080, and now performance is quite alright, still have issues with high definition modes though, and that is with a pretty good desktop pc, so I was wondering about what others use and jfyi trying to scan something using an i3 with 1060 was a complete fail, software can be started, but seems the computing power just isn't there to process data, maybe it would work for turntable scans where everything is steady, but freehand it just kept losing reference constantly
Yes you are right. A computer with i7-6700 cpu is too old (at least 4 year old) for handling this scanner. It needs a newer & cpu to operate it. For lost track issue, if possible, you may use markers to help tracking when most surfaces are smooth on the object.
Hi, is it possible to scan a car, and then upload that 3D file to an AR tool to show the online shop in 3D? It is to offer car dealerships to place their 3D models in their online shop for each of their car models. So it's not for printing, it's to be able to upload that 3D file and display it in the online shop. Thank you very much
Einstar scanner is designed to scan the objects size between 6 inches to 3 feet. We can scan an entire car rear bumper with slow speed. But it would be unacceptable slow if you use it to scan the whole car. To scan a whole car, you should use Einscan HX scanner instead. Your computer also needs to be very powerful.
