About SHINING 3D
SHINING 3D, headquartered in Hangzhou, China, has been developing and manufacturing high-precision 3D scanners for industrial metrology, quality inspection, reverse engineering and digital dentistry since 2004. The product portfolio includes laser handheld scanners, blue-light scanners, wireless dynamic tracking systems, automatic desktop scanners and related software such as SHINING3D Inspect and EXModel Pro; the products are compatible with PolyWorks and Geomagic. Manufacturing is based on integrated opto-mechatronics, in-house camera and projector technology, and algorithms for stereo reconstruction and highly accurate calibration of optical measurement systems. A CNAS-accredited accuracy laboratory covering 1,100 m² in Hangzhou performs calibration and testing tasks. With more than 1,300 employees, including over 500 in research and development, the company serves customers in over 100 countries; the international share of business exceeds 60 percent. In Germany and the EU, the company is supported by its subsidiary SHINING 3D Germany in Stuttgart.
