Multifunctional Laser Handheld 3D Scanner

Shining 3D, a global provider of technologies for 3D digitization and 3D inspection, has expanded its FreeScan UE series of blue laser metrology 3D scanners with the FreeScan UE Pro.

FreeScan UE Pro inherits the high-precision, metrology-grade accuracy, and lightweight design of FreeScan UE, while improving the ability of fine scanning and global precision control of large-scale workpiece scanning, according to the company. It adopts 26+5+1 blue laser lines and has a built-in photogrammetric module. Taking into account speed, accuracy and details, the 3D metrology solution can be applied to different sized scanning scenarios and perform metrology-grade accuracy inspection, reverse design, additive manufacturing (AM) and other applications.

The FreeScan UE Pro offers accuracy up to 0.02 mm and is said to deliver consistent scanning results with high precision. An integrated photogrammetry function means that there is no need to apply reference points; Shining 3D’s scanner quickly locks the spatial position of the target frame in large scene. Multiple scanning modes include 13 cross laser lines to scan large objects; five parallel laser lines to scan fine details; and one laser line for deep-hole and narrow-area scanning.

Shining 3D says the FreeScan UE Pro supports the scan a range of material adaptations, including that of black and high-reflective surfaces, reducing the requirement of scanning spray. A high-resolution camera, OTA updates and seamless docking to any mainstream inspection and design software (such as  Geomagic Control X, Geomagic Design X, and Verisurf Inspect) close out its features.
