The Shining 3D FreeScan UE Nova is a fully wireless, metrology-grade blue-laser handheld 3D scanner built for large-volume inspection. It measures at 0.072 mm accuracy with 50 blue-laser lines at 4,600,000 points/s, uses SHINING 3D’s patented integrated video photogrammetry (VPG) with no coded markers required, and reaches a field of view up to 102 × 87 in / 2600 × 2200 mm for large castings, panels, and structures — with no cable to the PC.
Why metrology teams choose the FreeScan UE Nova
Large-FOV capture, traceable accuracy, no coded markers, no cable.
Certified, traceable accuracy
0.072 mm accuracy and 0.072 + 0.012 mm/m volumetric accuracy with VPG, tested to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab — acceptance-tested by Shining 3D.
Extra-large field of view
Up to 102 × 87 in / 2600 × 2200 mm field of view and a 2300 mm depth of field (300–2600 mm), with 50 blue laser lines capturing 4,600,000 points/s. Near, Standard, and Far FOV modes adapt to part size.
No coded markers with integrated VPG
SHINING 3D’s patented video photogrammetry is built in — no coded markers required — and works with a calibration rod for real-time marker verification, delivering volumetric accuracy of 0.072 mm + 0.012 mm/m on large parts.
Wireless, inspect anywhere
Fully wireless at 3.5 lbs / 1.6 kg with hot-swappable batteries and built-in computing for on-device processing. A wired fiber-optic mode is available when you need it — work on the floor, in the field, or in the metrology room.

Large-Volume Metrology Performance
The FreeScan UE Nova measures at 0.072 mm accuracy and 0.072 + 0.012 mm/m volumetric accuracy with video photogrammetry, with a resolution of 0.5–10 mm and a field of view up to 102 × 87 in / 2600 × 2200 mm. Fifty blue laser lines capture 4,600,000 points/s, with a 2300 mm depth of field (300–2600 mm). Acceptance testing to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 is performed in Shining 3D’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab. See the full specification table below.
Integrated VPG & Flexible Field of View
Integrated video photogrammetry builds a global reference frame as you scan, so large panels, castings, and structures are captured without coded markers. Three flexible FOV modes let one scanner cover the range: Near (300–800 mm) for detail, Standard (600–1500 mm) for general work, and Far (1200–2600 mm) for the largest parts. The scanner is compatible with normal, black, and reflective surfaces.
Software & Workflow
The UE Nova is compatible with SHINING3D Inspect, PolyWorks, Geomagic Control X, Geomagic Design X, EXModel Pro, and BlueStar Mapping. That supports deviation analysis, GD&T, and first-article reporting for large-scale component inspection and reverse engineering. VPG works with a calibration rod for real-time marker verification, and the scanner comes with lens filters for outdoor scanning.
Typical applications
Large-part inspection and reverse engineering across heavy industry.
