Dual light source: when to use laser vs. infrared

Blue laser scanning delivers metrology-grade 0.02 mm accuracy for inspection and reverse engineering. Infrared VCSEL scanning is marker-free — for feature-rich workpieces where placing adhesive targets is impractical — and covers a larger 23.6×23.6 in / 600×600 mm field at higher throughput (2.25M pts/s). Use laser for precision work; use infrared for speed and marker-free capture on complex surfaces.

Shining3D FreeScan Combo 3D scanner - infrared VCSEL mode marker-free large-surface capture
Infrared VCSEL mode — marker-free capture on feature-rich parts.

Four scan modes in one device

  • Multi-line laser (26 lines): 1,860,000 pts/s across a 20.5×20.1 in / 520×510 mm field. High-speed surface capture on large workpieces; Shining 3D: “No fear of black or reflective surface.”
  • Fine scan (7 parallel laser lines): smaller scanning area, resolves tight features and fine surface detail. Use for small components or complex geometry.
  • Single-line laser: optimized beam angle for deep bores and cavity data capture where multi-line modes cannot reach.
  • Infrared VCSEL: no markers required, 2,250,000 pts/s, 23.6×23.6 in / 600×600 mm field, max scan depth 48.8 in / 1,240 mm. For quick scans of feature-rich parts.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA on request, typical reply within 4 hours.

What accuracy does the FreeScan Combo achieve in laser scanning mode?
The FreeScan Combo reaches up to 0.02 mm accuracy in laser scanning modes. Volumetric accuracy is 0.02 + 0.033 mm/m (laser) and 0.05 + 0.1 mm/m (infrared). Accuracy is assessed per VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 in Shining 3D’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab, and the scanner comes with calibration certificates traceable to international standards (subject to the actual certificates issued).
What is the difference between laser mode and infrared VCSEL mode?
Laser modes (26 lines, 7 fine lines, or a single line) prioritize accuracy: up to 0.02 mm. The 26-line multi-line mode covers a 520×510mm FOV at 1,860,000 pts/s; fine scan uses a smaller scanning area for detail. Best for metrology, inspection, and reverse engineering. Infrared VCSEL mode is marker-free: 600×600mm FOV, 2,250,000 pts/s, 1,240mm scan depth. Best for large assemblies where you can't apply adhesive targets. Many workflows use both modes on the same part.
Can the FreeScan Combo scan reflective or dark surfaces without spray?
Yes, in most cases: Shining 3D states the blue laser source has very strong adaptability to black and reflective surfaces. Highly polished metallic surfaces may still require a light matte coating. Tell us the part and finish and our applications engineer will advise.
What scan modes does the FreeScan Combo support?
Four modes: (1) Multi-line laser (26 lines) — 1,860,000 points/s, 520 × 510 mm FOV; (2) Fine scan (7 parallel lines) — smaller scanning area for fine details; (3) Single-line laser — optimized lens angle for deep holes and pockets; (4) Infrared VCSEL — no markers needed on feature-rich parts, 2,250,000 points/s, 600 × 600 mm FOV, scan depth adjustable up to 1,240 mm.
What software does the FreeScan Combo work with?
The FreeScan Combo comes with FreeScan software, with no subscription. Shining 3D lists SHINING3D Inspect, PolyWorks, Geomagic Control X, Geomagic Design X, EXModel Pro (reverse engineering), and BlueStar Mapping as compatible software. Contact our applications engineer for specific integration questions.
What PC configuration is required to run the FreeScan Combo?
Shining 3D’s minimum PC for FreeScan software (v2.1.1.4) on the FreeScan Combo: Windows 10/11 Pro 64-bit, Intel i7-10700, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 3070 or higher, SSD with 250 GB free, one USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 port. Recommended: Intel i7-13650HX or higher, 64 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 4060 (8 GB) or higher, 1 TB+ SSD, two USB 3.0 ports. Scanner power input: 12 V, 5.0 A.
What warranty and support come with the FreeScan Combo?
The FreeScan Combo carries a 1-year Shining 3D warranty. Our team in California provides first-line support; warranty repairs are handled by Shining 3D.
Is the FreeScan Combo suitable for bore and deep-cavity scanning?
Yes. The single-line laser mode uses an optimized lens angle and a single line for better acquisition of deep hole data. Scan depth in laser mode is 360 mm. Tell us the bore size and depth and our applications engineer will advise.
