About this product

The Shining 3D FreeScan UE Pro is a laser handheld 3D scanner built for metrology-grade inspection — 26+7+1 switchable laser lines plus a built-in photogrammetry module deliver accuracy of 0.02 mm (with markers) and 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m volumetric accuracy with photogrammetry, with a maximum single-frame FOV of 600 × 550 mm and no coded targets required.

Shining 3D FreeScan UE Pro handheld laser 3D scanner with photogrammetry target frame
The FreeScan UE Pro pairs multi-line laser scanning with built-in photogrammetry for large-part metrology.

Why metrology teams choose the FreeScan UE Pro

Three laser configurations and built-in photogrammetry in one scanner.

Three laser modes in one scanner

Switch between 26 laser lines (13 crossed pairs) for fast coverage, 7 parallel lines for fine detail, and a single line for deep holes and pockets — all in the same handheld unit.

Metrology-grade accuracy

0.02 mm accuracy (with markers) and 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m volumetric accuracy with the built-in photogrammetry module, tested to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 in Shining 3D’s ISO 17025 certified lab. See full specifications below.

No coded targets for global positioning

The patented built-in scale-bar photogrammetry module quickly locks the spatial position of the marker frame with no coded targets, increasing volumetric accuracy on large parts. Standard markers are still recommended for best data.

Wired for stable data transfer

USB 3.0 connection to a workstation (Shining 3D recommends i7-8700, RTX 3060 or higher with ≥6 GB VRAM, ≥32 GB RAM) for continuous power and stable data transmission through long scan sessions.

Scanning Performance

The FreeScan UE Pro combines 26 blue laser lines (13 crossed pairs) for fast coverage, 7 parallel lines for fine-feature detail, and a single line for deep holes and pockets, plus a built-in photogrammetry module for global precision control on large parts. Scan rate reaches up to 1,850,000 points/s at a 0.01–10 mm point distance. Accuracy is 0.02 mm (with markers), with volumetric accuracy of 0.02 + 0.03 mm/m in standard mode and 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m in photogrammetry mode. See the full specification table below.

Working Range & Portability

Working distance is 300 mm in the 26-line and single-line modes and 200 mm in the 7-line fine scan, with a scan depth of 170–680 mm and a maximum field of view of 600 × 550 mm, with a single line for deep holes and pockets. The handheld head weighs 840 g (1.85 lbs) at 298 × 103.5 × 74.5 mm and connects over USB 3.0 to a workstation running the FreeScan software — no onboard battery or wireless link, so scan sessions stay stable through long QC runs on the shop floor.

Software & Workflow

FreeScan software drives capture, mode switching between multiple-lines/single-line/fine-scan, and photogrammetry alignment on a connected Windows 10 (64-bit) workstation — Intel i7-8700 or better, NVIDIA RTX 3060 or higher, 32 GB RAM recommended. Shining 3D lists SHINING3D Inspect, PolyWorks, Geomagic Control X, Geomagic Design X, EXModel Pro, and BlueStar Mapping as compatible software.

Not sure which scanner fits your parts?

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.

Common questions

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

How accurate is the FreeScan UE Pro on a 1-meter part?
Accuracy is 0.02 mm (with markers), with volumetric accuracy of 0.02 + 0.03 mm/m in standard mode and 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m with the built-in photogrammetry module. On a 1 m part, photogrammetry-mode volumetric accuracy works out to about 0.035 mm. Shining 3D assesses accuracy per VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 in its ISO/IEC 17025-certified lab. Actual results depend on part geometry, surface finish, and scan strategy.
Does the FreeScan UE Pro work in bright ambient light or direct sunlight?
Shining 3D states the UE Pro’s laser scan mode is less sensitive to ambient light and that the scanner performs well in outdoor scanning environments. Very bright, glare-prone reflective parts may still need shading or a light matting agent.
Which software works with FreeScan UE Pro scan data?
Shining 3D lists SHINING3D Inspect, PolyWorks, Geomagic Control X, Geomagic Design X, EXModel Pro (reverse engineering), and BlueStar Mapping as compatible software for UE Pro scan data.
Can the FreeScan UE Pro scan dark or reflective parts without spray?
Yes, per Shining 3D: the laser scan mode is less sensitive to ambient light and performs better on reflective and dark-colored surfaces. Highly polished or mirror-finish parts may still need a light matte coating. Tell us the part and finish and our applications engineer will advise.
What's the difference between the scan modes and when do I use each?
The FreeScan UE Pro switches between three laser configurations: 26 lines (13 crossed pairs) for fast coverage of large surfaces, 7 parallel lines for fine detail, and a single line for deep holes and pockets. Point distance ranges 0.01–10 mm, so you pick the mode and resolution that match the feature.
How is the FreeScan UE Pro calibrated?
Shining 3D calibrates its scanners using certified artifacts or calibration panels traceable to metrology standards; all calibration and verification procedures are performed in its ISO/IEC 17025 accredited Accuracy Lab. The FreeScan software guides you through user calibration, and Shining 3D offers a recertification service for metrology handheld scanners.
Does the FreeScan UE Pro run wireless or does it need to stay connected to a PC?
The FreeScan UE Pro connects over USB 3.0 to a workstation — it is not battery-powered. Shining 3D recommends 64-bit Windows 10, an Intel i7-8700 or better, an NVIDIA RTX 3060 or higher with at least 6 GB VRAM, and 32 GB RAM or more. If wireless scanning is a requirement, the FreeScan UE Pro2 and FreeScan UE Nova are the wireless models in the FreeScan UE line.
