The FreeScan delivers exceptional precision with unbeatable cost-performance. It reduced our inspection process from up to 6 hours down to just 1 hour—4x faster than traditional methods—making it the ideal solution for raw casting inspection. ... The scanner is very easy to operate, preventing reliance on highly specialized skills. By speeding up quality control and separating raw material inspection from final machining checks, we completely eliminated delivery delays and eased overall workload.

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.
-
What is the typical accuracy of a professional handheld 3D laser scanner?
Professional handheld 3D laser scanners typically offer accuracy in the range of 0.02 mm to 0.05 mm, depending on the scanner model, scanning mode, object size, and measurement conditions. SHINING 3D offers metrology-grade handheld 3D laser scanners with accuracy up to 0.02 mm, providing reliable 3D measurement for dimensional inspection, quality control, reverse engineering, and product development. -
What are the key benefits of using 3D laser scanning?
3D laser scanning provides fast, accurate, and non-contact 3D data capture, making it easier to measure and digitize physical objects. Key benefits include capturing complex geometries and fine details, reducing manual measurement time, and creating detailed 3D data for dimensional inspection, quality control, reverse engineering, and product development. SHINING 3D handheld 3D laser scanners combine metrology-grade accuracy, reliable repeatability, and flexible scanning modes to support a wide range of industrial measurement and 3D scanning applications.
-
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.
