Today, we're excited to showcase the incredible capabilities of the new FreeScan Combo from Shining 3D, one of the best scanners we carry. This Metrology-grade scanner boasts an astonishing .02mm accuracy and a .05mm point distance, providing unparalleled resolution and detail.
If you're in industries like Lockheed Martin, NASA, medical devices, oil, gas, energy, manufacturing, automotive fabrication shops, or machine shops, this scanner might be just what you need. Now, let's dive into the laser modes and see what this beast can do!
The Laser Scan Mode:
In this video, we'll focus on the Laser Scan Mode, where we'll demonstrate the scanner's ability to capture highly detailed data using laser lines and markers for tracking accuracy. The freescan has 3 modes - 26 cross-laser lines, 7 lines for high detail, and a single laser line, for fast capture and getting down into difficult-to-see holes.
Setting Up the Software:
We start by calibrating the scanner and choosing the desired resolution. The higher the resolution, the more data points you get, but it takes longer to scan. Depending on your project's needs, you can choose the right balance between speed and detail.
Exploring the Camera Windows:
We explain the importance of the camera windows for adjusting exposure and brightness when scanning objects. The software's user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate and select scan options.
The Laser Line Options:
We demonstrate the three laser line options: 26 laser lines, 7 laser lines, and a single laser line. The single laser line mode is perfect for capturing data deep inside holes or difficult-to-reach areas, while the other modes cater to various scanning scenarios.
Scanning Process:
We proceed to scan a part, showing how efficiently the FreeScan Combo captures data. The scanner's compact design allows it to reach deep areas, making it superior in challenging scanning situations.
Data Optimization with Geomagic Essentials:
After scanning, we import the data into Geomagic Essentials, a powerful software for optimizing and processing point cloud data. It provides essential tools for reverse engineering and design purposes, ensuring your scanned data is ready for CAD programs like SolidWorks or Fusion 360.
Conclusion:
The FreeScan Combo is a game-changer for industries requiring high-precision scanning. Whether you need to reverse engineer complex parts, inspect and verify geometries, or design new products, this scanner has you covered.
Remember, we're here to help you make the right decision. If you're unsure about which scanner is suitable for your needs, contact us for a live video demo or even send us your part to scan. We want to ensure you have all the information before making your purchase.

Finally there is one who actually use the scanners. I'm just tired watching videos that people scan a sculpture and say that this is a very good scanner and bye. THANK YOU MAN!

[@davecoggan9619]

Would like to see you scan a car body with Laser and IR modes. Also an engine bay would be cool. I have the einstar which does well but the laser mode for depth would be really interesting to see!

[@VisionMiner]

Most definitely! Coming very soon!

[@torodatruth]

"SOMETIMES size matters and you want it to be small!".... we just....hmm....gonna slide right over that huh...?

[@joseabrahamgiron9135]

Se ve q es muy bueno o buenísimo Saludos

[@kostiantynabramov]

How much for this scanner?

[@VisionMiner]

www.visionminer.com/scanners -- the Freescan Combo is currently $16499 :)

[@haaake]

Windows only for the moment? Is there a chance they are working on macOS support? Latest MBP or Mac Studio would be such perfect machines for 3D scanning

[@motordude67]

Nice review! What is the difference between the Freescan Combo and Freescan UE Pro? Any point in getting the UE Pro instead of the Combo?

[@VisionMiner]

The lack of photogrammetry modes -- is the main difference, but moreover, the improved lasers, IR mode, and biggest of all -- the super compact size! The Freescan is definitely a better buy than the UE Pro for most applications :)

[@motoformprototyping]

It seems like this scanner is better than the HX. Einstar lacks a lot HX lacks a little Freescan is complete for any task. Correct?

[@VisionMiner]

The only thing missing from the Freescan is a color camera -- it won't capture textures/color. However, there's a software coming soon........ which will take care of that..... we'll start talking about that in a few months, when it's available :)

[@VisionMiner]

But overall yes -- Einstar = hobbies HX = fantastic Freescan = even faster, better, smaller, more accurate HX with more modes :)

[@HessenDD]

@@VisionMiner Given your comment, does the freescan combo now capture textures/color?

[@santoshpatil9874]

While scanning there are some floating markers visible. Please check. Otherwise the scanner is too good.

[@VisionMiner]

This happens occasionally, we've noticed -- it hasn't seemed to have an effect on the scan data, but sometimes it's when there are multiple sized markers on the stage, and sometimes... well, sometimes we're not quite sure :) Definitely an interesting glitch, we leave it in there for transparency :)

scan the inside of a van

[@VisionMiner]

Like the last video we did with the HX? Same deal? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKjZf3aeep2ApqM
