Comparisons

Both EinScan HX and HX2 are discontinued and succeeded by the EinScan Rigil, but for buyers eyeing remaining stock, HX2 added a faster frame rate and higher laser point-cloud speed.

EinScan H2 is Shining3D’s current LED-and-infrared handheld, gentler for scanning people; the discontinued HX added a laser mode with tighter accuracy and a larger scan volume.

Metro X trades a full-field structured-light mode and a bundled rig for speed; Metro Y answers with a finer laser line count built for complex geometries.

SP costs about 50% more than SE but doubles the accuracy and roughly doubles the maximum fixed-scan volume, so the gap is whether your projects need that extra tolerance.

POP 3 is Revopoint’s current handheld with full-color texture as standard; POP 2 was the original breakout scanner it replaced in the lineup.

Einstar 2 costs roughly double the original Einstar, but it also doubles point-distance resolution, multiplies frame rate sixfold, and adds a battery.

EinScan Pro 2X publishes a tighter accuracy figure at roughly a third of Artec Eva’s reseller-quoted price; Eva answers with far higher capture speed and an established industrial reputation.

Revopoint’s lineup runs wider and cheaper at the entry end; Creality counters with tighter stereo-vision accuracy on its flagship handheld, so the better brand depends on how far you want to grow.

Einstar and EinScan are both Shining3D lines split by budget: Einstar tops out under $1,700 for hobbyists, while EinScan runs from $1,199 turntables up past $6,000 for professional handhelds.

Einstar and Revopoint’s POP 3 sit at nearly the same price, but one is fully tethered while the other scans wirelessly off a phone, and that difference decides more than any spec number.
