FreeScan Combo The latest addition to Shining 3D’s FreeScan UE series of 3D scanners, the FreeScan Combo can be used for metrology-grade inspection, fine scanning and reverse-engineering tasks for sectors like additive manufacturing and mold production. It comes with free, user-friendly software that makes importing data to common 3D inspection and design software more efficient.
What’s new? The Freescan Combo, which combines blue-laser and infrared light sources, and can easily measure black or reflective surfaces.
Benefits Versatility and improved ergonomics. The FreeScan Combo provides multiple scanning modes, using a single laser line to capture 3D data from narrow areas, such as holes; seven parallel laser lines for scanning fine detail; 26 laser lines for scanning large areas; and an infrared mode to scan feature-rich workpieces without the need to set markers. The scanner is compact and lightweight, reducing the risk of user fatigue.
