Welcome back, everyone! Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of 3D scanning using the Einscan HX at super high resolution. We’re talking about a point spacing of 0.05 millimeters, with an impressive accuracy that goes down to 0.04 millimeters. It’s all about capturing fine details, intricate textures, and the essence of objects. To showcase its capabilities, we’ll be scanning a hot glue gun, examining the fine grip texture on the handle, plus marks, and other features within the injection molding. Let’s see how the Einscan HX performs its magic.
Meet the Einscan HX
The Einscan HX is a 3D scanner that’s capable of high-resolution scanning, making it ideal for capturing intricate details. It operates with an accuracy that’s beyond impressive, and today, we’re going to explore its capabilities further.
Scanning at Super High Resolution
For this scanning adventure, we’re going to set the Einscan HX to super high resolution. The point spacing will be 0.05 millimeters, which is incredibly fine. To achieve this level of precision, simply open up the scanning software and select the super high-resolution setting. Now, let’s dive right into the scanning process.
Before we begin, a quick note about the Einscan HX’s turntable. While some scanners offer automated turntables, this one relies on a manual turntable, making it convenient to hold the scanner in one position and move the object smoothly. The turntable has markers that help maintain consistency during scanning.
Starting the Scan
With our scanner settings configured for super high resolution, it’s time to start the scan. The Einscan HX’s preview feature allows us to see the scanned lines and make adjustments. We press the button on the scanner unit, and the scanning process begins. The points collected are spaced at 0.05 millimeters, so it’s essential to capture as many points as possible within specific areas.
If you’re working with an older computer or limited RAM, you can optimize the scanning process by pausing the scan, using a cutting plane to exclude undesired areas, and then resuming the scan. This can help improve scanning efficiency.
Generating Point Clouds and Mesh
After completing the scan, the next step is generating point clouds. This process is usually relatively quick. Once we have the point clouds, it’s time to transform them into a mesh. This step might take a bit longer, depending on your computer’s processing power. In our experience, for this specific part, it took about three to five minutes to process everything.
When you generate the mesh, you have the option to apply a filter, which can affect the final appearance of the scan. For our demonstration, we’ve set the filter to its lowest setting to retain the raw appearance of the scan.
Assessing the High-Resolution Scan
With the mesh generated, it’s time to assess the high-resolution scan’s quality. We zoom in to see how well it captured the fine details and textures. The results are impressive. The scanner successfully picks up the texture on the handle, the plus marks, and other features within the injection molding.
However, it’s worth noting that while high-resolution scanning is excellent for specific applications, Einscan HX is generally used for reverse engineering and digitalization, where you don’t always require the highest level of detail. It offers an accuracy of 0.04 millimeters, but most users work with point distances ranging from 0.5 to 3 millimeters for geometry capture.
Fast Scanning with Reduced Resolution
The Einscan HX’s scanning speed is remarkable. To demonstrate this, we reduce the resolution to one millimeter point spacing, but with the same 0.04-millimeter accuracy. In this mode, the scanner quickly captures points, and within seconds, we have a scan ready for processing. The efficiency of the scanner is truly remarkable, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications.
Exploring Other 3D Scanning Options
The Einscan HX is just one of the many 3D scanning options available. If you require even higher levels of detail or specific features, there are other scanners in the Einscan family, such as the Einscan C, offering exceptional accuracy, and the Einscan AutoScan InSpec, which excels in metrology-grade scanning. Stay tuned for more videos where we explore these alternatives in detail.
