SHINING 3D Unveils FreeScan Omni: A Game-Changing, Inspection-Ready Metrology 3D Scanner for Modern Manufacturing!

SHINING 3D Metrology has unveiled the FreeScan Omni, an advanced inspection-ready metrology 3D scanner that redefines how manufacturers approach on-site quality control. Designed as a fully portable, standalone solution, the FreeScan Omni integrates wireless operation, onboard data processing, and PTB-certified inspection capabilities, allowing engineers and quality teams to perform accurate, real-time inspections anywhere on the shop floor.

In today’s manufacturing landscape, where production cycles are shorter and precision demands are higher, quality control teams are under increasing pressure to inspect more parts faster—without compromising accuracy. SHINING 3D’s FreeScan Omni directly addresses this challenge by merging high-speed 3D scanning with instant inspection functionality into a single, easy-to-use device. It’s not just a scanner—it’s a complete mobile QA lab, engineered to simplify workflows and empower teams to make data-driven decisions on the spot.

At the heart of the FreeScan Omni is SHINING 3D Inspect, the company’s integrated, PTB-certified inspection module. This powerful software enables automated analysis, deviation detection, and report generation using customizable templates. By combining scanning, processing, and inspection into one seamless workflow, the device ensures repeatable, traceable, and standardized quality control across industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to precision engineering and tooling.

The FreeScan Omni has been purpose-built for industrial-grade, on-the-go inspections. Its on-scanner “Scan-to-Inspect” functionality allows operators to simply scan a component and instantly generate a detailed inspection report, removing the need for complex post-processing or external software. This not only reduces inspection time dramatically but also ensures consistent results across different operators and environments.

Its standalone and wireless design enhances mobility and productivity. The scanner comes equipped with a built-in touchscreen controller, onboard data processing unit, and detachable batteries that enable continuous operation. The included Smart Dock doubles as both a charger and a Wi-Fi bridge, ensuring uninterrupted workflow and easy data transfer.

FreeScan Omni is powered by advanced edge computing and a high-performance processor for rapid scanning and real-time data analysis. It uses a hybrid light system combining blue laser and infrared (IR) sources, offering exceptional versatility across various materials and surface conditions—from reflective metals to composites. The result is fast, accurate, and full-field 3D inspection that meets the stringent standards of modern metrology labs.

With FreeScan Omni, SHINING 3D Metrology is setting a new benchmark for portable, intelligent inspection systems. The device embodies the company’s vision of empowering manufacturers with smart, connected, and accessible quality control technologies. By integrating inspection automation, mobility, and metrology-grade accuracy, SHINING 3D is paving the way for the next generation of digital manufacturing and Industry 4.0 applications.

FreeScan Omni represents more than just an innovation—it’s a shift in how precision and productivity converge on the factory floor. For industries aiming to enhance operational agility and quality assurance, SHINING 3D’s latest innovation delivers the ultimate edge in inspection performance.
