01
FreeScan UE Pro2 Highlights

0.02 mm certified accuracy. 3.46M pts/s. 50 crossed laser lines. Wireless workflow with VPG markerless.

The Shining 3D FreeScan UE Pro2 is the wireless lab-cert metrology scanner in the FreeScan family — built around 50 crossed blue-laser lines (high-speed, 3.46M pts/s at 180 FPS), 7 parallel lines (fine detail), and a single-line deep-hole mode. Patented binocular video photogrammetry (VPG) delivers 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m volumetric accuracy without coded targets — about 50% less marker prep on large assemblies. All accuracy claims are validated to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 + ISO 10360 in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab. Embedded Computing Module onboard keeps wireless frame rate equal to tethered USB-C. Cable-free, not PC-free: wireless mode requires a Wi-Fi 6 router and a Windows workstation running FreeScan / EXScan / Inspect; the wireless link replaces the USB-C cable, not the PC.

Video Photogrammetry (VPG) — markerless on large assemblies

Patented binocular video photogrammetry replaces the coded-target taping workflow that traditional large-part metrology demands (Creaform's C-Track, AICON's reference setup). VPG delivers 0.02 + 0.015 mm/m volumetric across the working volume without glued or stickered markers — cutting roughly 50% of the marker-prep time on big assemblies. The Embedded Computing Module onboard keeps wireless frame rate equal to tethered USB-C, so the marker-free advantage doesn't cost throughput.

Active blue laser capture on complex industrial tooling

50 crossed blue laser lines project a dense grid across tight radii, undercuts, and fine surface detail on stamping dies, press tools, and complex machined components. The crossed-line engine simultaneously captures surface texture and geometric deviations — full deviation reports in one wireless pass. Swap to 7-line mode for the finest detail; switch to single-line for deep bores without moving the part.

Wireless metrology at full production scale — ship propeller capture

Wi-Fi 6 wireless mode removes the cable entirely — the scanner can orbit a 5-metre propeller blade, a crane boom, or a body-in-white without a tethered laptop following behind. The Embedded Computing Module keeps wireless frame rate equal to USB-C tethered, so there is no throughput penalty for going cable-free. VPG binocular photogrammetry builds the global coordinate frame as you scan — no external tracker, no coded-target taping on the hull.

03
Certified Metrology Accuracy

Datasheet accuracy is not the same as certified accuracy. Shining 3D certifies both.

A 3D scanner's headline accuracy number is a single-point figure. What inspection workflows actually need is volumetric accuracy across the working volume, repeatability across operators, and a paper trail traceable to a recognized standard. The FreeScan UE Pro2 is validated to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 & ISO 10360 Certified in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited accuracy lab — the same standard the metrology industry uses to qualify CMMs and laser trackers.

UE Pro2 Strength 1
0.02 mm lab-certified volumetric accuracy across the full 170–1240 mm working distance
The UE Pro2's 0.02 mm single-point accuracy is validated across the full working volume, not just at a calibration plate. VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 + ISO 10360 certification covers probing error, sphere-spacing error, and flatness error to a stated tolerance — the same standard CMMs and laser trackers are certified against.
UE Pro2 Strength 2
Third-party ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab traceability — not self-certification
Every accuracy claim is independently validated in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, traceable to recognized national standards. The same traceability chain regulated inspection, QA audit, aerospace, and defence workflows require — not vendor-published marketing numbers.
UE Pro2 Strength 3
Paper-trail accuracy QA, audit, and regulated workflows can defend
The combination of VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3, ISO 10360, and ISO/IEC 17025 lab certification gives the UE Pro2 a paper trail that holds in QA sign-off, regulatory audit, and third-party inspection deliverables. Metrology-grade certification across a wireless handheld scanner at the UE Pro2 price point.
Shining 3D Solution
VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 & ISO 10360 Certified — tested in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited accuracy lab
VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 certifies probing error, sphere-spacing error, and flatness error to a stated tolerance — the standard inspection-grade scanners are measured against.
ISO 10360-style validation bakes volumetric performance into the certificate, not just a single-frame headline number. The FreeScan UE Pro2 carries its accuracy across the full 170–1240 mm working distance.
The result is a scanner you can hand to QA, audit, or a regulated workflow and defend with a paper trail — not just a datasheet.

Tethered Bench Workflow

Four scan modes. Markerless on most surfaces. USB-C tethered to FreeScan software running on a Windows workstation.

The FreeScan UE Pro2 is a wireless hand-held metrology scanner with an Embedded Computing Module that keeps wireless frame rate equal to tethered USB-C. Wireless mode requires a Wi-Fi 6 router (cannot peer directly to laptop), and the scanner still pairs with a Windows workstation running FreeScan / EXScan / Inspect for alignment, mesh output, and downstream QA — this is cable-free, not PC-free. Lab-cert traceability (VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 + ISO 10360 in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited lab) is built into the calibration certificate. USB-C PD 100 W power (no internal battery; runs from powerbank or wall). For a fully standalone wireless workflow at professional-tier accuracy (not metrology-cert), see the EinScan Libre.

Connectivity & Control

USB-C 3.0 tethered, USB-C 3.2, standalone mode, and remote scan control.

Stream scan data without a tether or run fully standalone. The FreeScan UE Pro2 ships with a built-in USB-C 3.0 tethered radio, USB-C 3.2 fallback, and a standalone mode that processes scans directly on-scanner — no laptop required for capture and on-scanner inspection. The same scanner works on isolated networks, on outdoor scan sites, and tethered into a workstation when bandwidth or compute is the binding constraint.

USB-C 3.0 tethered
Built-in wireless radio for cable-free capture and remote scan control. Supports network-attached workstation workflows and mobile app monitoring.
USB-C 3.2 Tethered
Maximum-bandwidth tethered fallback for dense scans, large workpieces, or air-gapped facilities where wireless is restricted.
Standalone (No PC) Mode
No — tethered to PC running FreeScan software on-scanner processing. Capture and on-scanner inspection without a laptop. Ideal for field, foundry, and shop-floor work.
Output Formats & OS
Outputs STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, P3, 3MF, NSP. Compatible with Windows 10/11 and Mac (via FreeScan). Full export to inspection and reverse-engineering software.

What You Can Achieve

Inspection. Reverse engineering. Restoration. Field digitization.

The FreeScan UE Pro2 covers QA inspection (CMM-style first-article and incoming-parts checks), reverse engineering (scan-to-CAD with EXModel or Geomagic Design X), restoration and digitization of legacy or damaged parts, art and heritage capture, and field digitization of large assets like vehicles, machinery, and architectural components. The hybrid optical engine, marker-free IR mode, and VDI/VDE 2634 certification cover the workflow without forcing a second tool for one of the use cases.

Competitive Comparison

FreeScan UE Pro2 vs. industry-standard punch-up & intra-brand peers.

We benchmark the FreeScan UE Pro2 against the industry-standard Creaform HandySCAN BLACK | Elite and the recognized metrology peer Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1, plus the natural intra-brand cross-shop targets (OptimScan Q12 for buyers who need a higher accuracy class or larger working volume, FreeScan Trio for buyers comparing generations). The goal is buyer clarity: where the FreeScan UE Pro2 leads on accuracy class, software stack, and price — and where a different scanner genuinely fits better.

Creaform's closed metrology ecosystem (VXelements, PolyWorks tie-in) is the right answer when an enterprise QA workflow already runs on Creaform infrastructure or an audit insists on Creaform-branded traceability. The FreeScan UE Pro2 lands at roughly one-third of the price with comparable VDI/VDE 2634 certification and a hybrid optical engine that drops the marker-prep step on most surfaces — choose Creaform only when the workflow is already Creaform.

The Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1 is the right answer when an inspection workflow is already on a Hexagon CMM / Absolute Arm and the operator wants the scanner mounted on the same articulated reference. The FreeScan UE Pro2 lands as a VDI/VDE 2634 handheld — no arm dependency, no Hexagon ecosystem lock-in, and a hybrid laser + IR optical engine that drops the Arm setup step. Choose AS1 when the QA workflow is already Hexagon-armed; choose the FreeScan UE Pro2 for a free-handheld measurement-grade workflow.

FreeScan Combo Series is the tethered sibling in the lab-cert metrology family — same accuracy class (0.02 mm single-point), but hard-tethered USB-C to a workstation, no wireless mode, smaller 620 g chassis. Combo Series adds an IR VCSEL mode (which UE Pro2 does not have) for soft/dark/large parts without spray. Choose Combo Series for bench-top QA / RE at $14,999 when wireless isn't a requirement and IR mode is useful; choose UE Pro2 at $24,999 when wireless workflow + VPG markerless + 50-line throughput are binding. Both run on the same FreeScan software; operators trained on one pick up the other without retraining.
Rev1 takeaway: the FreeScan UE Pro2 is the right scanner when wireless workflow AND VDI/VDE 2634 + ISO 10360 lab-cert traceability are both binding requirements — the only scanner in the FreeScan / EinScan line that pairs both, at the $24,999 price point. Sideways-shop the tethered FreeScan Combo Series at $14,999 if wireless isn't a requirement and the IR VCSEL mode is useful. Punch up to Creaform HandySCAN BLACK | Elite only when the QA workflow is already Creaform / VXelements / PolyWorks-linked; punch up to Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1 only when the inspection workflow is already on a Hexagon Absolute Arm; step up within Shining 3D to OptimScan Q12 when tighter fixed-station accuracy is the binding constraint. For wireless without the lab-cert requirement, the professional-tier EinScan Libre runs fully PC-free at lower accuracy. Application review with Rev1 is the fastest way to confirm fit before quote.

Buyer FAQ

Shining 3D FreeScan UE Pro2 questions buyers ask before quoting.

What accuracy can the Shining 3D FreeScan UE Pro2 hold?
The FreeScan UE Pro2 holds 0.02 mm single-point accuracy and 0.02 + 0.033 mm/m volumetric accuracy across the full working volume. Both numbers are validated to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 & ISO 10360 Certified in an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited accuracy lab — the same standard used to qualify CMMs and laser trackers. That gives QA, audit, and regulated workflows a defendable accuracy paper trail, not just a marketing datasheet.
How fast can the FreeScan UE Pro2 capture data, and what does that mean in practice?
The FreeScan UE Pro2 captures up to 3,460,000 points per second at 180 frames/s in the 50-line crossed-laser mode — roughly double the prior UE Pro generation. A 7-line parallel mode handles fine-detail work, and a single-line mode handles deep holes and small bores. In practice that means a typical first-article inspection or reverse-engineering scan completes in a fraction of the time a structured-light or single-line-laser scanner needs — and the wireless workflow (with the Embedded Computing Module matching tethered throughput) keeps the operator free of cable drag during the scan.
Does the FreeScan UE Pro2 need markers or AESUB scanning spray?
For small / mid-size parts: no markers needed. For large assemblies that traditionally require coded reference targets (Creaform C-Track, AICON ProCMM-style setups), the UE Pro2's patented binocular Video Photogrammetry (VPG) replaces those coded targets — about 50% less marker prep on big jobs. Very reflective, very dark, or polished-mirror finishes still benefit from AESUB Blue or AESUB White scanning spray for the cleanest data, but the everyday case is markerless. Rev1 stocks AESUB spray and reference targets for the workflows that need them.
Can the FreeScan UE Pro2 run standalone, or does it need a tethered PC?
Important nuance: the UE Pro2 is cable-free, not PC-free. Wireless mode replaces the USB-C cable between scanner and workstation, but a Windows PC running FreeScan / EXScan / Inspect is still required. The wireless link also requires a Wi-Fi 6 router on the shop network (the scanner does not peer directly to a laptop). Embedded Computing Module on the scanner keeps wireless throughput equal to tethered USB-C. For fully PC-free standalone wireless scanning at professional-tier accuracy (not metrology-cert), see the EinScan Libre.

What software does the FreeScan UE Pro2 ship with, and what does it integrate with?
The FreeScan UE Pro2 ships with FreeScan for capture, alignment, and on-scanner inspection. Native integrations include SHINING3D Inspect for GD&T inspection and EXModel for scan-to-CAD reverse engineering. The scanner exports to STL, OBJ, PLY, ASC, P3, 3MF, and NSP, which connect cleanly to Geomagic Design X, Geomagic Control X, PolyWorks Inspector, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, Rhino, and the rest of the inspection / CAD ecosystem.
How does the FreeScan UE Pro2 compare to the Creaform HandySCAN BLACK?
The Creaform HandySCAN BLACK is the industry-standard metrology punch-up for handheld scanning, with 0.025 mm single-point accuracy, an 11-cross blue-laser optical engine, and tight integration into the Creaform / VXelements / PolyWorks ecosystem — at roughly three times the price and a marker-required workflow. The Shining 3D FreeScan UE Pro2 delivers 0.02 mm accuracy, 0.02 + 0.033 mm/m volumetric accuracy, and the same VDI/VDE 2634 certification on a hybrid laser + IR optical engine that drops the marker-prep step on most surfaces. Choose Creaform when the QA workflow is already Creaform; choose the FreeScan UE Pro2 for a measurement-grade scanner at materially lower cost with marker-free everyday capture.
How does the FreeScan UE Pro2 compare to the Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1?
The Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1 is a metrology-grade blue-laser line scanner that mounts on a Hexagon Absolute Arm and is qualified to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 in that combined configuration. It is the right answer when the QA shop already runs a Hexagon Absolute Arm and the workflow expects the scanner to ride that articulated reference. The Shining 3D FreeScan UE Pro2 delivers 0.02 mm single-point accuracy and 0.02 + 0.033 mm/m volumetric accuracy as a free handheld — no Arm dependency, no Hexagon ecosystem lock-in, and VDI/VDE 2634 certification on the handheld itself. Choose AS1 when the inspection workflow is already Hexagon-armed; choose the FreeScan UE Pro2 for a free-handheld measurement-grade workflow at materially lower total cost of ownership.
How does the FreeScan UE Pro2 compare to other Shining 3D scanners?
Within the Shining 3D family, the FreeScan UE Pro2 sits at the metrology point of the curve. Step up to the OptimScan Q12 when the application demands a tighter accuracy class or larger working volume. The FreeScan Trio is the closest sibling for buyers comparing platform generations or feature sets. Rev1 walks through the comparison during application review so the right point on the Shining 3D curve gets paired with the actual workflow — QA inspection, reverse engineering, or field digitization.
Is Rev1 Technologies an authorized Shining 3D dealer in the United States?
Yes. Rev1 Technologies is an Authorized Shining 3D Reseller and a factory-trained FreeScan support partner, based in Auburn Hills, Michigan. Application review, software-stack guidance, on-site or remote calibration assistance, accessory selection, and engineering consultation are delivered from the US — not from grey-market importers or unauthorized resellers.
What does Rev1's installation, training, and post-sale support include for the FreeScan UE Pro2?
Rev1 supports FreeScan UE Pro2 buyers from quote through production. Pre-sale: application review, accuracy-class validation, software-stack planning, accessory selection (tripod, AESUB spray, reference targets), and freight planning. At install: software setup, calibration verification, operator orientation, and a first-scan walkthrough on a representative workpiece. Post-sale: phone and video support, authorized service routing, firmware updates, and engineering guidance from Auburn Hills, Michigan — so warranty service does not route through grey-market channels.
