Certified Accuracy. Inspection Built In.
Every FreeScan Omni Lite is acceptance-tested to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360, and its onboard SHINING 3D Inspect is PTB-certified for GD&T measurement. Rev1 Technologies is your authorized SHINING 3D reseller and US support partner in Auburn Hills, Michigan — not a grey-market importer.
Scan, Inspect, and Report on the Device — No Laptop.
The Standalone Inspection Workflow, Unlocked by a Module
Every other metrology handheld is tethered to a workstation to do anything useful. The FreeScan Omni Lite is built differently: add the SHINING 3D Inspect module and PTB-certified inspection runs directly on its 5.5″ touchscreen, so a technician scans the part, aligns it to nominal CAD, measures GD&T features, and generates an inspection report standing right at the part — no laptop, no cart, no walk back to the office.
Collapsing the scan-to-report loop onto the device changes how inspection works on a shop floor. First-article checks, incoming-goods inspection, and on-machine verification happen where the part is, in one continuous workflow, instead of capturing data in one place and analyzing it somewhere else hours later. An operator can flag an out-of-tolerance feature before the part leaves the fixture, and a quality engineer can hand the scanner to a machinist without also handing over a laptop and a software seat. Start with core scanning today and add the inspection module when you’re ready — the hardware is the same on day one as it is fully loaded.
0.02 mm Accuracy You Can Put in an Inspection Report.
Lab-Validated, Traceable Numbers
The FreeScan Omni Lite holds 0.02 mm single-point accuracy and 0.02 + 0.03 mm/m volumetric accuracy — tightening to 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m with Video Photogrammetry — validated to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360. That is metrology-grade accuracy in a handheld you can carry to the part.
For dimensional inspection, the number that matters is the one you can defend in an audit. The Omni Lite’s 0.02 mm class sits with the tightest handheld laser scanners on the market, and its volumetric accuracy is stated as a base plus a per-metre term so you know exactly how error behaves as the part grows. Engage VPG and the per-metre term drops, holding global accuracy across larger assemblies without sticking coded targets. Rev1 supplies the acceptance documentation and traceable calibration certificate for first-article inspection, regulated workflows, and QA audits on request.
Among the tightest in the handheld laser-scanner class — a certified figure, not a marketing peak.
0.02 + 0.015 mm/m with Video Photogrammetry — global accuracy that doesn’t run away on larger parts.
Validated to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 — the standards QA uses to qualify metrology systems.

Blue Laser for Detail. IR VCSEL for Speed. Three Modes.
One Scanner That Adapts to the Part
The Omni Lite pairs a blue-laser engine with IR VCSEL technology and switches between modes on demand: 93 laser lines for high-speed area capture, 25 parallel lines for fine detail, and a single line for deep pockets and hard-to-reach features — with resolution from 0.01 to 10 mm.
Different features need different light. Wide, open surfaces are fastest with the 93-line high-speed mode; tight tolerances and crisp edges want the 25-line detail mode; and a single laser line reaches into deep pockets, bores, and channels that multi-line projection can’t see cleanly. The IR VCSEL engine adds a fast, wide capture path for getting global form quickly, while blue-laser light stays stable on dark, shiny, and reflective industrial surfaces that defeat structured-light systems. The result is one device that covers everything from a polished turbine blade to a matte casting without changing hardware — you change modes, not scanners.
7,619,000 Points Per Second.
Capture That Keeps Up With the Job
With up to 7,619,000 points per second across its multi-line modes, the Omni Lite digitizes parts fast enough that capture is never the bottleneck — you spend your time inspecting, not waiting on a point cloud.
Speed in a handheld metrology scanner is about throughput, not bragging rights: the faster the device builds a complete, clean mesh, the more parts an inspector clears in a shift and the less an operator’s hand fatigue affects data quality. The Omni Lite’s high acquisition rate, combined with mode-switching and a wide capture field, means a casting or panel is fully digitized in a sweep or two rather than a long grid of overlapping passes — fewer seams to align, less drift, and a faster path to a report. On a production inspection line, that difference is measured in parts per hour.
Dock It. It Charges and Backs Up Your Data Automatically.
Charge and Sync — No Cables, No USB
The Smart Dock does two jobs at once: it charges the battery and backs up every scan and inspection report over Wi-Fi to the connected workstation. The moment you set the scanner down, transfer begins automatically — no USB cable, no manual copy step, no driver to install.
A standalone scanner only works if getting data off it is effortless, and the Smart Dock is the piece that closes that loop. Reports and scans created on the device land on your network the instant the Omni Lite is docked, so a quality engineer at a desk has the technician’s results without anyone moving a file by hand. Paired with hot-swappable batteries — eight cells in the kit, four in use at a time, about an hour of continuous scanning per set — an operator simply rotates batteries and keeps working while docked cells charge and sync. It is a workflow designed so the hardware never makes you stop.
AI Finds the Features. VPG Drops the Markers.
Faster Measurement, Less Setup — When You Add the Modules
Add the AI Feature Recognition module and the Omni Lite automatically identifies and measures holes, slots, and other standard features, so routine GD&T checks take seconds instead of manual selection. Add the Video Photogrammetry (VPG) module and it holds global accuracy on larger parts without sticking a single coded target.
Two technologies do the unglamorous work that usually slows inspection down. AI Feature Recognition reads common geometry — bores, slots, edges — and snaps measurements to them, which removes the click-by-click feature selection that eats an inspector’s time and introduces operator variation. Video Photogrammetry, meanwhile, builds the global reference frame from the scanner’s own video stream rather than from coded targets stuck across the part, so large-part accuracy no longer costs an hour of taping and untaping before you can start. Together they shrink both the setup at the front of a scan and the analysis at the back — the two places handheld inspection normally loses time.
Start With the Scanner. Add Capability as You Grow.
The Omni Lite ships as the full FreeScan Omni scanner — same 0.02 mm dual optical engine, same 5.5″ onboard touchscreen, same Smart Dock. Inspection, Video Photogrammetry, and AI feature recognition are licensed software modules you unlock when your workflow needs them: no new hardware, no return to the factory, no laptop. Buy the base today and scale into the full Omni capability set one module at a time.
Compare a scan to nominal CAD, apply GD&T tolerances, and generate a PTB-certified inspection report — the core measurement module for the Omni Lite.
Run the full inspection workflow on the scanner’s own 5.5″ touchscreen — scan, compare, and report at the part without ever connecting a PC.

Omni Lite or Omni Lite — Grow Into Inspection
The FreeScan Omni Lite ships with the SHINING 3D Inspect module built in. The Omni Lite shares the same certified accuracy and scanning hardware, with the inspection module available as an optional upgrade — so you can start with capture and add on-device inspection when you need it, without changing scanners.
Both models run the FreeScan optical engine and software, so an operator or QA owner who learns one knows the other. Rev1 helps you choose between Omni Lite and Omni Lite during application review — matching the inspection workflow, accuracy class, and software seats to how your team actually works — and supports the system for its working life. Pre-sale application review, calibration verification, software integration, and operator training are delivered from Auburn Hills, Michigan by a factory-trained team; warranty service routes through authorized channels, never a grey-market importer.
