Welcome, 3D scanning enthusiasts! Today, we’ve got something special to share with you – the Shining 3D FreeScan Combo. This latest addition to the 3D scanning world is nothing short of amazing. Why? Because it’s not just a 3D scanner; it’s a metrology-grade 3D scanner, and it’s designed to deliver exceptional precision with an accuracy down to 0.02 millimeters. So, let’s dive right in and explore what’s inside the box and why this scanner is a game-changer.
What’s in the Box?
The FreeScan Combo comes securely packed in a Pelican-style case. This case is not just about protection; it’s conveniently sized to fit in an overhead bin on an airplane. So, if you’re on the go, this case will be your trusty companion.
Once you open it up, here’s what you’ll find:
- Manuals and Quick Start Guides: Everything you need to get started quickly.
- Copy of Solid Edge Shining 3D Edition: A CAD program that comes with the scanner.
- Calibration Certificate: Ensuring accuracy from the get-go.
- The Star of the Show: The FreeScan Combo 3D scanner itself.
The FreeScan Combo immediately stands out for its compact and solid build. It’s built to last and has a cold, sturdy feel, thanks to its aluminum construction. It even features rubber grips and feet for stability and ease of use.
When it comes to scanning, this scanner offers two modes: laser scan and infrared B-cell light. For laser scanning, it comes with two marker sizes – 6 mil and 3 mil. These markers are used for triangulation in laser scan mode. If you choose the infrared B-cell light mode, markers aren’t needed; the scanner uses feature detection for scanning. This makes it ideal for body scanning and capturing action poses quickly and efficiently.
What’s more, the FreeScan Combo includes a marker removal tool, ensuring you don’t have to struggle with removing markers manually.
Power and Connectivity
Powering the scanner is simple. It connects to a power block, which, in turn, connects to a wall outlet. You can also use a power bank, which is perfect for field scanning with a laptop. This flexibility in power options is a real bonus for users.
The scanner cable is approximately 10 feet (3 meters) long, allowing you ample distance to scan larger objects. In the world of 3D scanning, this scanner excels with large objects, making it suitable for applications like scanning car parts and other substantial items.
It’s worth noting that you’ll need a dongle to use this scanner. A dongle is a necessary part of the scanning process, and it ensures that the software operates correctly. While the reason for the dongle may be a bit perplexing, it’s an essential component in this advanced technology.
Advanced Scanning Features
The FreeScan Combo has several standout features that set it apart from the crowd. Here are some of the highlights:
- 26 Laser Lines: This scanner uses 26 laser lines for global scanning, providing incredible detail.
- Parallel Line Mode: It offers a parallel line mode with seven lines, allowing for more detailed scans in specific areas.
- Single Laser Line: This feature is not only fun to watch but incredibly useful. It allows for deep hole scanning, offering more data inside holes than other scanners.
- Infrared B-Cell Light Mode: This mode uses infrared light for rapid scanning and achieves a point distance as low as 0.2 millimeters.
With its cutting-edge technology, the FreeScan Combo is at the forefront of 3D scanning, and it continues to impress users with its versatility and precision.
