EinScan Trak

Wireless Scanning. Propeller-Focused Inspection.

Pair SHINING 3D’s EinScan Trak with the TrueProp Virtual workflow to move from propeller surfaces to meaningful inspection data.

The proposed TrueProp Virtual EinScan Trak Bundle brings together wireless 3D capture, optical tracking and propeller-specific analysis. Use the tracked spherical scanner or the detachable handheld scanner to suit the geometry and access requirements of your job.

Prepare and align the exported STL mesh, extract radial blade data, and review propeller geometry in TrueProp for inspection and reporting.

3D Scanning Propellers – From Surface Capture to Virtual Inspection

Propeller inspection starts with a reliable view of the blade. EinScan Trak offers wireless tracker and scanner operation, helping operators move around accessible surfaces without a fixed measurement arm. In single-station tracking mode, the tracker follows the scanner without requiring markers on the part. Both the tracker and propeller must remain stationary during the scan. Other scanning setups may require markers or a different alignment strategy. The proposed bundle combines:

Optically tracked capture and a detachable handheld scanner
Wireless operation through a dedicated router
STL export for a mesh-based inspection workflow
TrueProp Virtual radial blade data extraction
Propeller inspection and reporting in TrueProp

Discuss your propeller size, material, access and inspection requirements with TrueProp to determine a suitable scanning setup.

From Scan to Propeller Inspection

01 / CAPTURE

02 / PREPARE

03 / INSPECT

Scan the surface

Capture the propeller geometry with EinScan Trak and EXScan Trak using an appropriate tracking or handheld setup.

Review the inspection data

Prepare, register and align the STL mesh, then extract radial blade data with the TrueProp Virtual workflow.

Review and report

Review propeller geometry, compare inspection findings and communicate results through TrueProp reports.

The proposed Trak-to-TrueProp workflow remains subject to validation on representative propellers. Scan preparation, alignment and mesh quality are essential.

Proposed application focus: 40–160 inch propellers. This is marine-market positioning, not an OEM-certified diameter range; confirm suitability on representative parts.

Computer and Scanning Requirements

A suitable computer, scan acquisition software, a prepared mesh and the appropriate TrueProp license are all part of a working inspection process.

Verify current SHINING 3D computer requirements before purchase.
Size RAM and GPU capacity to your part size and scan density.
Plan tracker visibility, stable part support and access around the propeller.
Confirm surface preparation and marker strategy for each job.
Validate registration, alignment, mesh quality and final inspection results.

Computer, training and accessory inclusion will be confirmed with the final bundle configuration.

Questions about the workflow

Does marker-free mean no markers, ever?

No. Single-station tracking can operate without markers on the part while the tracker and object remain stationary. Handheld and multi-station workflows may benefit from markers. Choose and validate the method for the job.

Can I inspect a propeller while it is on the vessel?

This is an application to evaluate. Blade access, tracker visibility, vessel and part stability, surface condition and inspection requirements all matter. Discuss your installation before choosing a system.

Is EinScan Trak the same as FreeScan Trak Nova?

No. They are different SHINING 3D systems. FreeScan Trak Nova is a separate option in TrueProp’s current product range. Choose around your inspection requirements.
