FreeScan Omni
The World's First Standalone Inspection-Ready Metrology 3D Scanner
The FreeScan Omni Series represents a major evolution in portable metrology. Designed for industrial inspection, quality control, reverse engineering, and manufacturing workflows, the Omni combines certified metrology-grade accuracy with fully standalone operation. Unlike traditional handheld metrology scanners that require a connected laptop for scanning and inspection, the FreeScan Omni allows users to complete scanning, inspection, analysis, and reporting directly on the device itself.
Built around onboard computing, wireless operation, and integrated inspection software, the FreeScan Omni Series brings high-accuracy measurement directly to the production floor, field environment, or inspection workstation without the complexity of a traditional metrology setup.
True Scan-to-Inspect Workflow
One of the defining features of the FreeScan Omni Series is its ability to perform complete inspection workflows directly on the scanner. Scanning, mesh generation, dimensional analysis, inspection reporting, and deviation visualization can all be completed without transferring data to a separate computer. This dramatically reduces workflow time and allows operators to validate parts immediately after capture.
The integrated PTB-certified inspection module provides a streamlined inspection process with intuitive templates and reporting tools. Manufacturers can quickly compare scanned parts against CAD models, identify deviations, and generate professional reports directly from the device. This makes the Omni particularly attractive for production environments where rapid decision-making and immediate quality verification are essential.
Wireless Freedom Without Sacrificing Accuracy
Traditional metrology scanners often rely on tethered connections, external workstations, and extensive setup requirements. The FreeScan Omni Series removes these limitations through a completely wireless architecture that allows users to scan, process, and inspect anywhere.
Integrated computing hardware, onboard storage, Wi-Fi connectivity, and hot-swappable battery packs enable continuous operation without power cables or external processing hardware. Whether scanning on a manufacturing floor, inside large industrial facilities, or in field-service environments, users can maintain full metrology workflows while remaining completely mobile.
Certified Metrology-Grade Accuracy
The FreeScan Omni Series is engineered for professional measurement applications where precision is critical. The system delivers an accuracy of up to 0.02 mm and a volumetric accuracy of 0.02 + 0.03 mm/m, with enhanced volumetric performance available when using Video Photogrammetry (VPG). The scanner is verified according to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and aligned with ISO 10360 standards, providing traceable measurement confidence for industrial inspection tasks.
This level of performance makes the Omni suitable for dimensional inspection, tooling validation, manufacturing quality control, first article inspection, reverse engineering, and high-accuracy documentation applications.
Multiple Scanning Modes for Maximum Flexibility
The FreeScan Omni Series combines several scanning technologies into a single platform, allowing users to optimize performance for different part sizes, geometries, and inspection requirements.
The high-speed mode utilizes 93 blue laser lines for rapid coverage of larger parts and assemblies. Detailed scanning mode uses 25 parallel laser lines to capture fine surface details and complex geometry with increased resolution. For deep cavities, recessed features, and difficult-to-reach areas, a dedicated single-line laser mode provides improved access and data acquisition. In addition, an infrared VCSEL mode enables fast marker-free scanning workflows for applications where speed and simplicity are prioritized.
This combination of scanning modes allows the Omni to handle everything from large industrial components to intricate mechanical features without requiring multiple scanners.
Video Photogrammetry for Large-Scale Accuracy
The FreeScan Omni Series incorporates SHINING 3D's Video Photogrammetry (VPG) technology, designed to improve volumetric accuracy during large-object scanning. Unlike traditional photogrammetry workflows that rely on coded markers, VPG uses integrated video capture and calibration tools to continuously verify marker positions throughout the scanning process.
The result is improved accuracy on large components while reducing setup complexity and preparation time. This makes the Omni particularly valuable for aerospace, energy, heavy industry, automotive, and manufacturing applications where large-scale dimensional verification is required.
AI-Assisted Measurement Tools
The FreeScan Omni Series incorporates AI-assisted feature recognition to streamline inspection workflows. The system can automatically identify common geometric features such as circular holes, rectangular openings, slots, and boundaries, accelerating measurement tasks while improving consistency.
By automating repetitive measurement processes, users can focus more on analysis and decision-making while reducing manual inspection effort.
Built for Industrial Environments
The FreeScan Omni Series was designed specifically for real-world industrial applications. The lightweight handheld design weighs approximately 1.1 kg while maintaining the durability and performance expected from a professional metrology system. The scanner's large operating range, deep depth of field, and multiple scanning modes allow it to adapt to a wide variety of parts and environments.
