Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between crossed laser lines, parallel laser lines and single laser lines?

    Crossed laser lines efficiently capture comprehensive data in a short time, while parallel laser lines are ideal for collecting detailed scan data. The single laser line is specially designed to tackle difficult areas of deep pockets. Together, the three scanning modes ensure a smooth, streamlined workflow.

  • What's the best laser 3D scanner for digitizing large objects?

    The FreeScan Trio is the best portable laser 3D scanner for digitizing large objects. With its 98 laser lines and integrated photogrammetry, capturing comprehensive 3D data of large objects is fast and effortless, without the need for markers.

  • Which models support wireless scanning?

    In the laser handheld 3D scanner category, FreeScan UE Nova and FreeScan UE Pro2 support wireless scanning.

  • Is it possible to digitize the color texture of objects with the FreeScan series' built-in photogrammetry?

    No, the FreeScan series uses photogrammetry exclusively for positioning and does not support applying color to mesh models with this data.

  • Are all FreeScan 3D scanners marker-free?

    Optimum conditions for markerless scanning involve the use of FreeScan Trio or the infrared light mode of FreeScan Combo.

  • How does 3D scanning improve quality control compared to manual measurement and CMMs?

    3D scanning captures the full 3D geometry of a part in one measurement. Compared to manual tools, it enables 100% surface inspection, reduces operator errors, and detects shape deformations often missed in key-point checks. Compared to CMMs, it is faster and provides richer data, especially for complex or freeform surfaces.

  • How is 3D scanning used for reverse engineering and 3D inspection?

    3D scanning is used for reverse engineering by capturing the exact geometry of a physical object and converting it into a digital 3D model or CAD file when original design data is unavailable. For 3D inspection, scanned data is compared with the CAD model to quickly identify dimensional deviations, ensuring parts meet design and quality requirements.
