SHINING 3D EinScan Trak system development

SHINING 3D has expanded its professional 3D digitization portfolio with the introduction of the EinScan Trak, a wireless system that integrates optical tracking and portable laser scanning. The technology is designed to accommodate a wide range of scales, from large structures like vehicles and boats to small, intricate components in tight spaces.

The system operates in two primary modes: a Tracking Mode, where a spherical scanner is monitored by an optical tracker to capture large objects within a 15 cubic meter volume, and a Handheld Scanner Mode, which allows the device to be used independently for deep cavities or small parts. To facilitate efficiency, the system utilizes retroreflective markers on the scanner itself rather than on the objects being measured, and employs blue laser configurations to achieve a maximum resolution of 0.05mm.

In practical applications, the technology is being utilized in the motorsport industry by teams such as Black Falcon. They use the FreeScan Trak Nova to support vehicle measurement, inspection, reverse engineering, and simulation, allowing engineers to digitize aerodynamic parts and body structures directly to bypass manual CAD modeling.
