EXStar v1.2: Take you to a more wonderful 3D World

We are excited to announce the significant update of EXStar v1.2, which has introduced abundant features at a more professional level.

Introduction

Since the release of Einstar, we have seen the great success on the entry-level of 3D scanning. However, we are thinking about stepping forward to improve the scanning performance and better fulfill our customer requirements. Now, we are excited to announce the significant update of EXStar v1.2, which has introduced abundant features at a more professional level. This update is expected to become a powerful engine to take you to a more wonderful 3D world.

Reduced Requirements for PC Configuration

EXStar v1.2 reduced the requirements for PC configuration and maximized the utilization of computer resources to support greater data processing capabilities.

Recommended Configuration:

Computer Memory (RAM): 32GB or above
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX1050 or above, dedicated graphics card

Auto Cutting Plane

Auto cutting plane is recognized according to the desktop or a flat surface. The data underneath the cutting plane will not be captured, saving time to edit and delete irrelevant and noise data after scanning.

Adjust Point Distance

The point distance can be freely adjusted during scanning. Larger the point distance to reduce the data amount, or smaller the point distance to enhance the data detail.

Marker/Point Cloud Editing

Markers and point cloud can be edited separately.

Scan Rewind

It is supported to roll back your scan at most 200 frames once a time. You don’t have to swipe all your data if any mistake or misalignment happens during scanning.
