SHINING 3D FreeScan UE Pro Wireless Blue-Laser Metrology · 0.02 mm · Built-In Photogrammetry · Reddot 2024
The previous-generation wireless hand-held laser metrology scanner: 0.02 mm accuracy with markers, 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m volumetric accuracy with built-in photogrammetry, and a triple-mode blue-laser engine — a proven FreeScan platform now succeeded by the current FreeScan Omni.
The FreeScan UE Pro inherits the high-precision, metrology-grade accuracy and lightweight design of the FreeScan UE line: 13 crossed blue-laser lines capture up to 1,850,000 pts/s for fast area scanning, a 7-line parallel mode resolves fine detail, and a single-line mode reaches deep holes and pockets. Built-in binocular photogrammetry holds 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m volumetric accuracy on large assemblies. This page documents the UE Pro for owners and buyers researching it — the model is phased out at Rev1, with the FreeScan Omni as the recommended current replacement and the FreeScan UE Pro2 as the directly comparable wireless successor.

Questions? Call (248) 707-2950.
A Proven FreeScan. Now Succeeded by the Omni.
The FreeScan UE Pro is acceptance-tested to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 against traceable length artifacts, a Reddot 2024 winner, and built on the same field-validated FreeScan optical engine as the current line. It is a previous-generation model — Rev1 recommends the current FreeScan Omni for new purchases, with the FreeScan UE Pro2 as the closest like-for-like wireless successor. Rev1 is your authorized SHINING 3D reseller and US support partner in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Buying New? The Current Pick Is the FreeScan Omni.
A Proven Platform — With a Newer Generation Behind It
The FreeScan UE Pro earned its place: 0.02 mm accuracy with markers, built-in photogrammetry, a Reddot 2024 design award, and the field-validated FreeScan optical engine trusted by automotive OEMs, foundries, and aerospace MROs. It is still a capable metrology scanner. But it is a previous-generation model, and for a new purchase Rev1 points buyers to the current FreeScan Omni — the latest FreeScan metrology handheld, with the newest sensor, faster capture, and AI-assisted workflow. If you specifically need the directly comparable wireless successor in the UE line, the FreeScan UE Pro2 doubles the laser-line count and point rate on the same body concept.
For new orders, the current FreeScan Omni is Rev1’s primary recommendation — the latest-generation FreeScan metrology handheld.
The FreeScan UE Pro2 is the directly comparable wireless successor — 50 + 7 + 1 laser lines and 3.46M pts/s on the same UE concept.
With markers, validated to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 — the UE Pro still measures to a defensible tolerance for inspection and RE.

13 Lines for Speed. 7 for Fine Detail. 1 for Deep Holes.
13 Crossed Blue-Laser Lines — Up to 1.85M pts/s
Thirteen crossed blue-laser lines deliver up to 1,850,000 points per second for fast area capture. Blue-laser light has low sensitivity to ambient light and surface reflectivity, so the UE Pro stays stable on machined, polished, dark, and reflective surfaces that trip up structured-light systems, with point distance adjustable from 0.01–10 mm to match part detail. (For the next generation’s 50-line, 3.46M pts/s engine, see the FreeScan UE Pro2.)
Thirteen cross laser lines scan large objects quickly — the everyday area-capture mode for big parts and fast coverage.
Seven parallel laser lines resolve fine detail on intricate geometry, edges, and small features without losing accuracy.
A dedicated single-line mode reaches into deep holes and pockets where the area modes cannot — no second scanner, no tool change.
Hold Volumetric Accuracy Across Large Assemblies.
A Patented Built-In Scale-Bar Photogrammetry Module
The UE Pro carries a patented built-in scale-bar photogrammetry module that strengthens the global reference frame as the part grows — holding 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m volumetric accuracy with photogrammetry engaged (0.02 + 0.04 mm/m without). On large assemblies it controls the error accumulation that otherwise runs away across a big working volume. Accuracy is stated against markers; for most metrology work the UE Pro uses coded targets, and Rev1 scopes the marker plan during application review. The next-generation FreeScan Omni extends this with the latest markerless workflow.
0.02 mm You Can Put in an Inspection Report.
Unrelenting Accuracy and Precision — on a Defensible Standard
The UE Pro holds 0.02 mm accuracy with markers and 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m volumetric accuracy with photogrammetry, assessed against traceable length artifacts under VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 — the same family of standards used to qualify CMMs and laser trackers. That makes it suitable for first-article inspection, deformation and damage detection on water turbines and petroleum drill bits, and reverse engineering where the report has to survive an audit. Rev1 supplies the relevant acceptance and calibration documentation on request (subject to the actual certificates issued).
Lightweight, Wireless, and Ready to Walk the Part.
An 840 g Wireless Body, a Short Learning Curve
At 840 g the UE Pro is a lightweight, ergonomic hand-held that runs wireless — freeing the operator to walk around a large part instead of dragging a cable, with a wired USB mode for fixed-station work. An IP50 body suits the plant floor, and the user-friendly FreeScan software keeps the learning curve short. A Windows workstation running FreeScan stays in the workflow; the wireless link replaces the cable, not the PC. For a fully PC-free standalone workflow at professional-tier accuracy, see the EinScan Libre.
A Complete Metrology Kit, Not Just a Scanner
The UE Pro ships as a working metrology system: the wireless scanner, calibration board, coded-target markers, an optional 2-axis turntable for repeatable bench capture of small-to-medium parts, and a rugged transport case. Because the model is phased out, kit availability is confirmed case by case — Rev1 will tell you what can still be supplied for the UE Pro, or configure the equivalent kit on the current FreeScan Omni.
Scan to CAD. Compare to Nominal. Report. One Connected Path.
Capture in FreeScan, then move straight into dimensional-inspection software for part-to-CAD comparison, or into reverse-engineering tools for scan-to-CAD — no proprietary lock-in.
Certified Geometry Into Every Downstream Tool
The UE Pro feeds straight into Geomagic Design X, PolyWorks Inspector, Geomagic Control X, EXModel, BlueStar Mapping, and SHINING3D Inspect. First-article inspection, deviation mapping, reverse engineering, and as-built documentation all run off the same certified mesh — so the 0.02 mm accuracy carries through to a part-to-CAD report QA can defend. The connected stack is shared across the FreeScan line, so moving to the current FreeScan Omni later means no software relearning.
FreeScan to Capture. The Whole Industry Stack to Finish.
Capture and process in FreeScan, then connect natively to SHINING3D Inspect for GD&T inspection, and out to the broader stack — EXModel, BlueStar Mapping, Geomagic Design X, Geomagic Control X, and PolyWorks Inspector. Rev1 confirms software fit and seat-licensing during application review.
Inspection, Reverse Engineering, and Large-Asset Digitization.
One wireless metrology scanner covers dimensional inspection, reverse engineering, deformation and damage detection, and as-built documentation — automotive and aerospace QA, foundry and mold shops, energy and heavy industry (water turbines, petroleum drill bits, mining trucks), and research labs.
From Small Castings to Mining Trucks
The UE Pro’s triple-mode engine and built-in photogrammetry let one scanner cover a wide part-size range — from small castings and turbine blades to ship propellers and giant mining-truck components. SHINING 3D’s own field videos show it powering casting-inspection lines 300% faster and inspecting haul-truck assemblies. Rev1 helps map your specific parts to the right scan modes and marker plan.
A Proven Engine, a Current Family to Move Into, US Support Behind It.
The UE Pro shares its optical-engine architecture and FreeScan software with the current line, so an operator already running a UE Pro transfers across without retraining. For a new purchase, Rev1’s primary recommendation is the current FreeScan Omni; the directly comparable wireless successor is the FreeScan UE Pro2. 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.
For a new purchase, the current FreeScan Omni is Rev1’s primary pick — the latest-generation FreeScan metrology handheld, with the newest sensor and workflow.
The directly comparable wireless successor in the UE line is the FreeScan UE Pro2 — 50 + 7 + 1 laser lines and 3.46M pts/s on the same body concept.
