The Afinia Einstar 2 3D Scanner is a versatile handheld device designed for capturing detailed 3D models. Weighing just 0.77 lb, this compact scanner offers flexible scanning capabilities with a working distance of 6.3 to 55.1 inches and the ability to capture objects ranging from 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.4 inches up to 2 x 2 x 2 inches. It utilizes both Near-Infrared (NIR) and Laser light sources, achieving scan speeds of up to 90 frames per second and 2,500,000 points in Laser mode, or 20 frames per second and 1,440,000 points in IR mode, making it suitable for a variety of 3D modeling and design applications.
Choose between a flatbed (for photos/books) or an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for multi-page text documents. Speed and duplex (two-sided) scanning are critical for office efficiency. Available from $1,249.
Scanners use minimal electricity. The primary running costs for document scanners are replacing worn intake rollers and separation pads after high volumes of use.
Common Failure Modes
Mechanical wear on the paper feeding mechanism is the leading cause of frustration, leading to jams or multi-page feeds. Sensor dust and light bar failure are secondary issues.
