3D scanners are expected to help change the wood furniture and fine woodcraft industry in Vietnam. Handcrafting and drawing patterns by hand can no longer keep up with the speed customers demand. A 3D scanner can cut pattern-making time by 80%.Download the explainer file: https://goo.gl/jkHqfQ The EinScan Pro stands out from other machines with similar functions thanks to its flexibility and versatility. Its price suits the Vietnamese market and is not as high as other lines. The EinScan Pro is already used in many woodworking villages in Vietnam. Many bronze and cast iron foundries also use the EinScan Pro 3D scanner as a reliable assistant for pattern design.
EinScan Pro 3D scanner specifications:
- With 4 scanning modes, the EinScan Pro offers a different accuracy level and different specifications for each mode.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
EinScan Pro functions:
- Handheld scanning, with a choice of HD Scan (7 laser lines) or white light.
- Tripod scanning without the turntable, for capturing large objects at maximum detail.
- Automatic scanning with the tripod and turntable, for the highest accuracy and sharpness.

EinScan Pro 3D scanner options:
- Tripod and automatic turntable.
- Color scanning tool for full-color capture.
WATCH A PRODUCT BEING SCANNED:
To judge whether a 3D scanner suits your product, you have to test the actual part on the device:
Scanning a wooden chair leg on the EinScan Pro.
The data is good enough to bring into software such as PowerMill to generate wood carving toolpaths.

Using 3D scanners in fine woodcraft workshops
For fine woodcraft workshops, a 3D scanner is the bridge between the physical sample and the CNC carving machine. Instead of redrawing every line by hand, craftsmen can digitize existing samples and send them straight to CNC programming. Common uses:
- Copying patterns: digitize table legs, chair legs, armrests, headboards and decorative motifs for batch carving.
- Scaling: enlarge a small statue to a large size while keeping the right proportions.
- Mirroring and duplication: scan half of a symmetrical piece and mirror it in software to save time.
- Pattern library: keep data for old designs, so a repeat order only needs the file.
- Restoration: scan a damaged piece, rebuild the missing areas, then carve it again.
How to choose a 3D scanner for woodworking
This article covers one specific model. When investing, though, a workshop should judge machines by these general criteria rather than by model name alone:
| Criterion | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Object size | Are most of your pieces small parts, or large statues and panels? Large pieces need a flexible handheld mode. |
| Detail | Can the scanner capture the finest carving detail your CNC bit can cut? |
| Software | Is the alignment software automatic and easy to use, and can it export STL/OBJ for your CAM software? |
| Computer | Does the workshop have a computer powerful enough to process large data sets? |
| Technical support | Is there someone in Vietnam to provide training, calibration and troubleshooting? |
The most reliable test is still to bring your own real samples for a trial scan, then load the file into your CAM software and see whether it produces the toolpaths you want. If your sample volume is still low, you can use a 3D scanning service for wood samples first to prove the value, then consider buying your own equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Can 3D scanning fully replace pattern drafters in woodworking?
Not completely. 3D scanning captures data quickly and accurately from existing samples, but for brand-new or creative designs, pattern drafters and digital sculptors still play the main role.
Which CNC programming software works with 3D scan files?
STL or OBJ files from the scanner can be loaded into most popular CAM software for wood CNC, such as PowerMill, ArtCAM or JDPaint, to create toolpaths.
How long does it take to scan a wooden statue about 1 meter tall?
In handheld mode, scanning usually takes a few tens of minutes, not counting data processing. Actual time depends on complexity, the number of deep recesses and the level of detail required.
Can glossy lacquered wood be scanned?
Yes, but highly reflective glossy surfaces can cause noise. A thin, easy-to-wipe powder coating is usually applied so the scanner captures better data.
