The Shining 3D FreeScan Trio is a marker-free handheld laser 3D scanner that pairs a 98-laser-line mode with a triple 5MP camera system, with a 98-line mode that scans feature-rich parts without markers and 0.02 mm accuracy in scan modes with markers.

Why metrology teams choose the FreeScan Trio
Marker-free capture, deep-hole reach, and certified accuracy with markers.
Marker-free capture at scale
The 98-line mode uses intelligent self-positioning to scan feature-rich parts without markers at up to 3,010,000 points/s — less preparation, more efficiency.
Metrology-grade accuracy
0.02 mm accuracy with markers and point distance down to 0.01 mm, with built-in video photogrammetry (VPG) for volumetric accuracy of 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m on large parts. See full specifications below.
Deep Hole Scan for holes and pockets
Both the 26-line and single-line modes can scan holes, deep pockets, and fin walls, thanks to optimized camera angles.
Four scan modes, three 5 MP cameras
High Speed (26 lines), Detailed (7 parallel lines), Deep Hole (26 / single line), and No Markers (98 lines) modes, all using three industrial 5 MP cameras.

Product videos
We scan for a living. Try it on your part first.
Send us a sample part and we'll scan it on the actual system — handheld or metrology-grade — so you see the data quality before you buy. We can also run scan-to-CAD as a service while you evaluate.
