About this product

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.

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 on request, typical reply within 4 hours.

What accuracy does the FreeScan UE Nova achieve, and is it certified?
The FreeScan UE Nova has 0.072 mm accuracy and 0.072 + 0.012 mm/m volumetric accuracy with video photogrammetry (VPG). Acceptance testing to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 is performed in Shining 3D’s ISO/IEC 17025 accredited Accuracy Lab, and the scanner comes with inspection reports and calibration certificates traceable to international standards (subject to the actual certificates issued).
How large a part can the UE Nova scan in one setup?
The FreeScan UE Nova offers a field of view up to 102 × 87 in / 2600 × 2200 mm and a maximum scanning distance of 2.6 m. Three selectable working ranges — Near (300–800 mm), Standard (600–1500 mm), and Far (1200–2600 mm) — let one scanner move from fine detail to very large parts. Per Shining 3D, the maximum object size depends on your PC’s performance; multiple projects can be set up and merged for larger measurements.
What is integrated VPG, and do I need coded markers?
VPG is Shining 3D’s patented video photogrammetry, built into the FreeScan UE Nova. It works without coded markers and integrates with a calibration rod for real-time marker verification, delivering volumetric accuracy of 0.072 mm + 0.012 mm/m. Our applications engineer can help you plan the scan strategy for your parts.
How is the UE Nova different from the FreeScan UE Pro2?
The FreeScan UE Nova is the large-volume model. It offers a much larger field of view (up to 2600 × 2200 mm), 4,600,000 points/s, and integrated VPG for markerless capture of big parts, at 0.072 mm accuracy. The UE Pro2 is the higher-accuracy option at 0.02 mm with a smaller FOV for tight-tolerance detail. Choose the UE Nova when part size and scan speed matter most; choose the UE Pro2 for the finest tolerances. Tell us your parts and we will confirm the fit.
Is the UE Nova really fully wireless — what about power and connection?
Yes. The FreeScan UE Nova runs fully wireless with hot-swappable batteries and built-in computing for on-device processing, so there is no cable to the PC during capture. A wired fiber-optic mode is available when you prefer a tethered connection. At 3.5 lbs / 1.6 kg an operator can hold it comfortably through a large-part inspection on the floor or in the field.
What metrology software does the UE Nova work with?
The FreeScan UE Nova is compatible with SHINING3D Inspect, PolyWorks, Geomagic Control X, Geomagic Design X, EXModel Pro, and BlueStar Mapping. For reverse engineering it works with EXModel and Geomagic Design X; for inspection it supports Geomagic Control X, PolyWorks Inspector, and SHINING3D Inspect.
Can the UE Nova scan reflective or dark surfaces without spray?
Shining 3D lists the FreeScan UE Nova as compatible with normal, black, and reflective surfaces; it uses blue laser, which has low sensitivity to ambient light and surface reflectivity. Mirror-finish or highly polished surfaces may still need a light matting spray for complete data. Tell us your material and finish and our applications engineer will advise.
