What your metrology engineer actually checks
Accuracy you can sign off
The FreeScan Combo holds 0.02 mm accuracy with a dual-mode laser and infrared tracking — a fixed metrology spec you can put in an inspection report, not a marketing estimate. Volumetric accuracy stays stable across large parts, so QC sign-off doesn't turn into an argument.
An applications engineer on the line
Send us your actual parts for a sample scan before you buy, and get scan-to-CAD workflow and calibration support after. You reach engineers who run metrology and AM inspection — not a remote ticket queue. Sub-4h reply, NDA standard.

About this product
Shining3D FreeScan Combo is a dual-mode handheld 3D scanner that combines a 26-line blue laser with an infrared VCSEL source in a 7.6×2.5×2.1 in / 193×63×53 mm, 620 g / 1.37 lb body. Laser mode delivers up to 0.02 mm point accuracy for metrology and reverse engineering; infrared mode captures feature-rich parts marker-free at 2,250,000 pts/s. Four scan modes cover deep bores to large assemblies without switching hardware.
Why engineers choose the FreeScan Combo
Four things metrology and reverse-engineering teams verify before committing.
0.02 mm metrology accuracy
Point accuracy to 0.02 mm and volumetric 0.02+0.033 mm/m in blue-laser mode — traceable figures for first-article and in-process inspection, not marketing estimates.
Dual light source, one device
26-line blue laser for precision plus infrared VCSEL for marker-free speed — switch modes in software instead of buying and calibrating two separate scanners.
Marker-free infrared capture
Infrared VCSEL scans feature-rich parts at 2,250,000 pts/s across a 23.6×23.6 in / 600×600 mm field — no adhesive targets to place, register or clean off afterward.
620 g handheld, deep-bore reach
At 7.6×2.5×2.1 in / 193×63×53 mm and 620 g / 1.37 lb, single-line mode reaches deep bores and cavities that fixed CMMs and larger scanners cannot.
How Additive Plus delivers it
Every FreeScan Combo ships as a working inspection process, not just a case.
Step 01
Specced to your parts
Scan modes, accuracy targets and software (EXScan Pro plus your inspection platform) confirmed with an applications engineer before the order ships.
Step 02
Installed and trained on-site
US-based installation and operator training from California — your team runs the first scan and the calibration check with our engineer.
Step 03
Scan-to-CAD workflow set up
Your reverse-engineering or QC pipeline into Geomagic Design X, PolyWorks or CATIA — validated on your own parts before hand-off.
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.
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; handles dark and low-reflectance surfaces without spray.
- 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. Fastest mode for large, feature-rich assemblies.

Unedited feedback from working inspection teams.
★★★★★
We offloaded first-article inspection from the CMM. 0.02 mm laser mode matches our gauge study, and infrared mode captures a full housing in minutes without markers.
DR
Daniel R. Quality Engineer · Aerospace components
★★★★★
Reverse-engineering legacy castings with no drawings is finally quick. Single-line mode reaches bores the CMM probe can't, and the mesh drops straight into Design X.
PS
Priya S. R&D Engineer · Industrial equipment
★★★★★
Marker-free scanning changed our workflow. No more placing and cleaning targets on every panel — we scan and move on.

Common questions
Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.
What accuracy does the FreeScan Combo achieve in laser scanning mode?
The FreeScan Combo achieves up to 0.02mm point accuracy in laser scanning mode. Volumetric accuracy is 0.02+0.033 mm/m (laser) and 0.05+0.1 mm/m (infrared). These figures are based on Shining3D's published specifications and meet the threshold for industrial inspection and first-article reporting workflows.
What is the difference between laser mode and infrared VCSEL mode?
Laser mode (blue laser, 26 lines or 7 fine lines) prioritizes accuracy: 0.02mm, 520×510mm FOV, 1,860,000 pts/s. 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?
The multi-line blue laser mode handles dark and low-reflectance surfaces without anti-reflective spray in most cases. Highly polished metallic surfaces may require a light matte coating. Infrared VCSEL mode is generally more tolerant of surface finish variation. Contact us to arrange a sample scan if unsure.
What scan modes does the FreeScan Combo support?
Four modes: (1) Multi-line laser (26 lines) — 1,860,000 pts/s, 520×510mm FOV; (2) Fine scan (7 parallel lines) — higher detail for small geometry; (3) Single-line laser — optimized for deep bores and cavities; (4) Infrared VCSEL — marker-free, 2,250,000 pts/s, 600×600mm FOV, 1,240mm depth.
What software does the FreeScan Combo work with?
Ships with EXScan Pro. Export formats: STL, OBJ, ASC, PLY, P3. Downstream: Geomagic Design X, PolyWorks Inspector, CATIA, Siemens NX, SolidWorks. Contact an applications engineer for specific integration questions.
What PC configuration is required to run the FreeScan Combo?
Minimum: 64-bit Windows 10/11, NVIDIA RTX 3060 (6GB VRAM+), Intel i7-10700 or equivalent, 32GB RAM, USB 3.0, 150GB+ free SSD. Power supply: 12V, 5.0A via USB.
What is included with a FreeScan Combo purchase from Additive Plus?
Scanner unit, calibration board, carrying case, USB cable, power adapter, EXScan Pro license. Additive Plus adds: installation and commissioning, operator training, calibration verification, and a tailored service plan.
Is the FreeScan Combo suitable for bore and deep-cavity scanning?
Yes. The single-line laser mode is designed for deep bores and cavities with an optimized lens angle. Scan depth in laser mode: 360mm. Contact us with part details and we'll assess fit before you commit.
