FreeScan Trak Nova – New Wireless & Markerless Large-volume 3D scanner

Introducing the FreeScan Trak Nova 3D Scanner from Shining3D

The FreeScan Trak Nova from SHINING 3D, is the latest breakthrough in metrology 3D scanning technology. Designed for industries that demand precision and efficiency in large-scale measurement (up to 20m parts), this advanced system brings together cutting-edge innovation with extreme portability and ease of use.

New Era of 3D Scanning

From construction machinery to rail transit, civil aviation to energy, this wireless 3D scanning is engineered to meet the diverse needs of industries requiring large-scale measurements. With real-time tracking technology, this system ensures the capture of fine details with seamless accuracy, even in complex environments.

Its wireless and compact design makes it particularly effective in confined spaces, providing maximum flexibility without the constraints of old wired systems. The FreeScan Trak Nova’s standout feature is its detachable handheld scanner, offering the versatility to function both as an independent handheld laser scanner and as a tracking device with the largest field of view (FOV) on the market.

This combination of portability and power makes it a game-changer for industries that rely on fast, accurate data collection in the field.

Video Photogrammetry

One of the defining aspects of the FreeScan Trak Nova is its integration of SHINING 3D’s patented Video Photogrammetry (VPG) technology. Unlike traditional photogrammetry methods that rely on coded markers, this innovative approach eliminates the need for complex setup, reducing preparation time by at least half while maintaining high volumetric accuracy.

Photogrammetry has long been a critical tool in 3D scanning, helping to ensure accuracy in large-scale measurements by capturing and analysing spatial data. Traditional photogrammetry systems often require multiple images taken from specific angles, which can be time-consuming and require highly trained operators. However, SHINING 3D’s VPG simplifies the process by allowing for real-time marker verification through video capture. This means users can efficiently scan large objects with minimal setup, significantly improving productivity without compromising accuracy.

By integrating photogrammetry technology with a calibration rod, the FreeScan Trak Nova ensures consistent accuracy throughout the scanning process, making it ideal for measuring large objects without the risk of cumulative errors. This is particularly beneficial in industries such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing, where even minor deviations in measurements can lead to significant challenges down the line.
