Traceable points in one dataset
0.025 mm point accuracy, ISO 10360 certified and calibrated in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab. Probed features land in the same coordinate frame as the scan, so scan and probe combine into one traceable inspection report.
An applications engineer on the line
We match the FreeProbe to your Trak system, set up tips and rods, and help combine probed points with scan data in PolyWorks or Geomagic — from engineers who run these systems. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
About this product
The Shining 3D FreeProbe 2 is a wireless tactile probe that extends a FreeScan Trak scanning system. It reaches hidden features, deep pockets, and reference points the scanner cannot see optically, capturing precise points at 0.025 mm accuracy without generating mesh — so one measurement session covers both scanned surfaces and probed features.
Why add the FreeProbe 2 to your Trak system
A companion probe that closes the gaps optical scanning leaves behind.
Reach what the scanner can’t
Deep bores, hidden datums, and features behind flanges are hard for any optical scanner. The FreeProbe 2 touches them directly and records the point — no line of sight required.
Traceable point accuracy
0.025 mm point accuracy, ISO 10360 certified and calibrated in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab — the probed points carry the same metrological traceability as the scan data.
One dataset with your Trak
Pairs with FreeScan Trak Nova and Trak ProW, so scanned surfaces and probed features land in the same coordinate frame and inspection report — no separate CMM trip.
Wireless, all-day, adaptable
Lightweight and wireless with swappable tip diameters, extension rods, and an L-type adapter. Battery runs up to 16 hours on FreeProbe 2 and up to 80 hours on the Pro.
How Additive Plus delivers your FreeProbe 2
Matched to your Trak system, calibrated, and supported.
Step 01
Match & verify
We confirm the FreeProbe 2 or 2 Pro fits your FreeScan Trak Nova or Trak ProW, and check calibration before it ships.
Step 02
Install & train
Onboarding on pairing the probe with your tracker, choosing tips and rods, and combining probed points with scan data in PolyWorks, Geomagic, or SHINING3D Inspect.
Step 03
Support that answers
Questions on probing strategy for a specific feature go to engineers who run these systems. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.
What FreeProbe Adds to Your Trak System
Optical scanning is fast and dense, but it needs line of sight. The FreeProbe 2 fills that gap: it captures single, high-accuracy points on features a scanner struggles with — deep holes, undercuts, edges, and reference datums — and drops them into the same measurement session as the scan. At 0.025 mm point accuracy, ISO 10360 certified, the probed data is traceable and audit-ready. See the full specification table below.
FreeProbe 2 vs FreeProbe 2 Pro
Both models pair with the same Trak trackers and reach 0.025 mm point accuracy. The FreeProbe 2 is the lighter standard unit (0.46 kg) with up to 16 hours of battery. The FreeProbe 2 Pro (0.59 kg) adds deeper probing capability for cases where reference markers are partly blocked, and extends battery life to up to 80 hours for long inspection days. We help you choose based on the features you probe and how long you run between charges.
Software & Workflow
Probed points integrate with SHINING3D Inspect, PolyWorks Inspector, and Geomagic Control X, so feature measurements combine with the scan mesh in one inspection report. The probe supports deviation analysis, GD&T on datums the scanner cannot see, and first-article reporting — a single traceable dataset instead of a separate CMM record.

Common questions

What is the FreeProbe 2, and what does it add to a scanner?
The FreeProbe 2 is a wireless tactile probe that works with a FreeScan Trak scanning system. Optical scanners need line of sight, so they struggle with deep bores, undercuts, and features behind flanges. The FreeProbe 2 touches those features directly and records precise points at 0.025 mm accuracy — no mesh — and puts them in the same measurement session as the scan, so one dataset covers both surfaces and hidden features.
Which scanners is the FreeProbe compatible with?
The FreeProbe 2 and FreeProbe 2 Pro pair with the FreeScan Trak Nova and FreeScan Trak ProW dynamic-tracking systems, which follow the probe optically the same way they follow the scanner. It is an add-on to those tracker-based systems rather than a standalone device. If you run or plan to buy a Trak system, we confirm the right FreeProbe model and tips for your work.
What accuracy does it achieve, and is it certified?
The FreeProbe 2 delivers 0.025 mm point accuracy, is ISO 10360 certified, and is calibrated in Shining 3D's ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab. That means the probed points carry the same metrological traceability as the Trak scan data, so combined scan-plus-probe reports hold up in first-article and audit contexts. Volumetric accuracy tracks the paired system — for example 0.046 + 0.012 mm/m with Trak Nova.
What is the difference between FreeProbe 2 and FreeProbe 2 Pro?
Both reach 0.025 mm point accuracy and pair with the same Trak trackers. The FreeProbe 2 is the lighter standard unit at 0.46 kg with up to 16 hours of battery. The FreeProbe 2 Pro is 0.59 kg, adds deeper probing capability for cases where reference markers are partly blocked, and extends battery life to up to 80 hours for long inspection days. We help you choose based on the features you probe and your run time.
What software does the FreeProbe work with?
Probed points integrate with SHINING3D Inspect, PolyWorks Inspector, and Geomagic Control X, so feature measurements combine with the scan mesh in one inspection report. That supports deviation analysis, GD&T on datums the scanner cannot see, and first-article reporting — a single traceable dataset instead of a separate CMM record. We configure the workflow during onboarding.
Can I use the FreeProbe without a Trak scanner?
No — the FreeProbe 2 relies on a FreeScan Trak Nova or Trak ProW tracker to locate the probe in space, so it is used together with one of those systems rather than on its own. If you do not yet have a Trak system, we can quote the probe together with the tracker as a complete metrology package and help you configure the combination for your parts.
