What your metrology engineer actually checks

Traceable points in one dataset

0.025 mm point accuracy, ISO 10360 certified and calibrated in Shining 3D's ISO/IEC 17025 Accuracy Laboratory. The probe is tracked by the same FreeScan Trak system as the scanner, so probed features and scan data combine in one inspection project.

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 Shining 3D’s ISO/IEC 17025 Accuracy Laboratory; Shining 3D states every measurement is internationally traceable.

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.

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. 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 when some marker plates are partially 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

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

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 Accuracy Laboratory; Shining 3D states every measurement is internationally traceable. System-level volumetric accuracy depends on the paired tracker — for example 0.062 mm over 12 m³ with FreeScan Trak Nova (volumetric accuracy for extension 0.046 + 0.012 mm/m).
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, keeps stable probing when some marker plates are partially blocked, and extends battery life to up to 80 hours. Each package includes 2 rechargeable batteries. 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, and Geomagic Control X, so feature measurements combine with the scan data in one inspection project. That supports deviation analysis, GD&T on datums the scanner cannot see, and first-article reporting.
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 in one formal quotation.
