SHINING 3D Launches ShiningSpace, an Open Digital Platform for Real-World 3D Assets

Imagine you’re an engineering team building a digital archive of replacement parts, a museum cataloging scanned artifacts, or a 3D artist who needs to send a client an interactive model without asking them to install specialist software. In each case, the scan itself is only the starting point: the resulting files need to be stored, organized, reviewed, shared, and potentially reused later for everything from reverse engineering and 3D printing to visualization and AR/VR. That is the kind of workflow SHINING 3D is targeting with ShiningSpace, its new browser-based platform for managing real-world 3D assets.

SHINING 3D, a leading manufacturer of high-accuracy 3D scanning technology, today announced the launch of ShiningSpace, an open digital platform for previewing, managing, sharing, and reusing 3D data and 3D models from the real world.

As 3D scanning becomes more accessible, real-world objects are increasingly being captured as digital data for applications in education, engineering, manufacturing, AR/VR, 3D printing, and more. However, scan files are often scattered across computers, external drives, and folders, making them difficult to organize, protect, share, and reuse.

ShiningSpace was created to address this shared challenge across the 3D community. Designed as an open platform, it allows users to upload and manage 3D assets created with SHINING 3D scanners, other scanners, or different 3D workflows.

Key Features

ShiningSpace combines practical features that help you preview, manage, share, and use your 3D models and 3D assets more efficiently.

Seamless Scan-to-Use Workflow

ShiningSpace will take over SHINING 3D Digital Cloud with more features, the storage platform that SHINING 3D users have relied on for years. You can sync scan data directly from SHINING 3D scanners, such as EINSTAR VEGA and the EinScan Rigil series, by linking your SHINING 3D digital cloud account. This delivers a uniquely integrated scan-to-platform experience for users, connecting scanning and cloud management in a streamlined workflow.

Powerful 3D Viewer

Powered by robust processing capabilities, ShiningSpace delivers a fast and reliable online 3D viewing experience. It goes beyond basic model previews with textured, point-cloud, wireframe, and X-ray viewing modes, model quality checks, and dimensional measurement tools, all available directly in the browser.

Advanced 3D Setting Editor

ShiningSpace includes a browser-based 3D editor that lets users adjust and edit models without downloading additional software. It provides a free library of HDR materials and texture assets for model refinement. It also includes controls for model transformation, camera settings, background customization, and post-processing.

Robust Copyright Protection

ShiningSpace respects intellectual property rights and has established a Copyright Infringement Notice Policy, along with related reporting and feedback mechanisms, to help protect the content that users create and share. Users can also choose whether to allow 3D model downloads, giving them greater control over how their work is accessed and shared.

Trusted Data Security

The platform is designed with data protection and security in mind, aligned with applicable privacy regulations including GDPR for users in the European Economic Area as well as other applicable data protection and privacy laws in the countries and regions where the platform is offered.

Effortless Sharing

ShiningSpace puts your models wherever your audience already is. Publish them to your social media accounts, set granular permissions to decide exactly who can access them, and capture screen recordings that show a model in motion. Simple, friendly, and a few clicks from start to finish.

Built Around User Needs

ShiningSpace was developed to give users a simpler and more reliable way to keep, manage, view, and use their real-world 3D data after scanning.

“ShiningSpace is intuitive, easy to understand, and easy to use. I’ve been very impressed with the experience,” said Amedia Official, a 3D artist specializing in photogrammetry. “I also really like the direction ShiningSpace is taking. The platform has a great deal of potential, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it develops.”

Shaping the Future of 3D Content

ShiningSpace plans to expand its capabilities with 3D modeling tools, a model marketplace, scan-to-print workflows, a scan app, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS), and creator incentive programs.

ShiningSpace is now live and welcoming users to upload their 3D models and join its first wave of creators. Early participants may receive launch-period promotional support, including featured exposure and social media promotion. Visit ShiningSpace’s official website to learn more.
