Shining 3D FreeScan Omni 3D Scanner

Standalone, Wireless Metrology-Grade Inspection – Redefining Portable 3D Scanning

The FreeScan Omni by Shining 3D is a groundbreaking 3D scanning solution that revolutionizes industrial inspection and quality control workflows. Designed as a completely wireless, standalone metrology-grade 3D scanner, FreeScan Omni empowers engineers, inspectors, and production teams with the ability to scan, mesh, inspect, and report directly on the device — no computer or cables required. Its portable form factor, blazing-fast scan speed, and certified inspection software make it an essential tool for modern industrial environments.

Fully Portable, Computer-Free Design

FreeScan Omni eliminates the traditional limitations of wired systems. With a net weight of just 1.1 kg and a detachable battery system, it’s optimized for maximum mobility. Whether you're on the production floor, out in the field, or in a quality lab, this scanner delivers consistent high-accuracy performance. The intuitive 5.5-inch touchscreen interface simplifies operations, allowing users to control every aspect of the scanning and inspection workflow without a laptop.

Certified Accuracy for Reliable Industrial Inspection

Built for metrology-grade performance, FreeScan Omni delivers exceptional accuracy of up to 0.02 mm and volumetric accuracy of 0.02 + 0.03 mm/m, with further enhancement to 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m using integrated video photogrammetry (VPG). Whether used in automotive, energy, heavy industry, or general manufacturing, the Omni ensures certified and traceable measurement accuracy, backed by PTB-certified inspection software and VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 testing in an ISO 17025 lab.

Cutting-Edge Laser Technology with 93 Crossed Lines

FreeScan Omni uses advanced laser projection, featuring:

• High-speed mode: 93 intertwined laser lines for overall scanning.
• Detail mode: 25 parallel laser lines for precise geometries.
• Deep pocket mode: 1 laser line to capture hard-to-reach areas.
• Infrared VCSEL mode: Enables marker-free scanning for black or reflective surfaces.

With a scanning speed of 7,619,000 points per second and a field of view up to 580 x 650 mm, Omni handles everything from small mechanical parts to large complex structures.

Integrated Video Photogrammetry (VPG)

Omni features Shining 3D’s patented VPG system, eliminating the need for coded markers. By using a calibration rod and real-time video tracking, the scanner verifies markers dynamically during scanning. This drastically improves volumetric accuracy for large objects and streamlines setup, enhancing productivity across industries.

Seamless On-Scanner Inspection Workflow

Unlike conventional scanners, FreeScan Omni combines scanning and inspection into one seamless operation:

• Real-time mesh visualization
• AI-powered feature recognition for holes and edges
• Preset inspection templates
• Effortless data export and reporting

Frontline operators can simply scan and inspect in real time, drastically cutting down inspection cycles and boosting throughput.

Built-in SHINING 3D Inspect Software (PTB-Certified)

FreeScan Omni is bundled with the full version of SHINING 3D Inspect, both onboard and on desktop. This robust software enables:

• Real-time mesh preview
• Certified full-size inspections
• Custom template creation
• Project management
• Hole recognition and high-detail focus
• Cloud license transfer via Shining3D support

Whether you prefer working directly on the scanner or offloading tasks to a workstation, the dual-mode software adapts to your workflow.
