Истории успеха
Machinery manufacturer
SANY Heavy Industry efficiently and accurately completed the inspection of large components, successfully producing giant mining trucks delivered on time. For industries seeking to improve production standards and ensure machinery safety, the 3D scanner provides a practical solution for advanced 3D inspection.
ISO 10360 & VDI/VDE 2634 certified accuracy
Firstly, the scanner offers the advantage of high accuracy. In combination with a photogrammetric system, the volumetric accuracy can be 0.02mm + 0.015mm/m. The scanner provides a database for accurately measuring form deviations on large workpieces.
Photogrammetry Mode
Additionally, under the photogrammetry mode, the client does not need to use markers. This eliminates the step of putting/removing markers, saving time and improving efficiency.
Portability
Moreover, as a handheld scanner, it is portable, without a doubt. Its strong environmental adaptability allows 3D inspection next to the production line. Even in outdoor environments, the 3D scanner works well. This means no need to move the workpiece to the measuring room.

manufacturer specializing in the design, certification, and production of key aircraft components
Reduced Setup Time: Unlike CMM, the FreeScan Combo+ does not require detailed programming before scanning. For the same part, a CMM would take 2-3 days to set up the program and start collecting data. With the FreeScan Combo+, all you need to do is connect the power supply to the computer,and the data can be captured in less than half a day.
No Jig or Fixture Requirement: The 3D scanner’s ability to collect data without the need for part fixation or complex jigs streamlined the process. In some cases, parts inspection by CMM requires the use of multiple fixtures, which can take up to three days to design and manufacture. However, with the 3D scanner, you have the freedom to change the angle of the scanner for scanning or to flip the part over.
Portable and Ease of Use: The FreeScan Combo+ is a real lightweight scanner that can be taken anywhere for scanning easily. That's what CMM can't handle. It was also recognized for its user-friendly interface. The company found it easy to operate, even for team members without specialized skills in 3D scanning. “You'll only need half a day at most to familiarize yourself with how to use it,” an employee said.

High-precision 3D scanners from SHINING 3D serve as the system’s measurement tool, capturing full-field data rapidly while maintaining high repeatability suitable for automated workflows. Compared to manual measurements, the scanning system reduces human error and provides a complete digital dataset for subsequent analysis and reporting. The 3D scanning process works with a robot reduces operator intervention and improves throughput. The workflow transforms inspection from a manual, labor-intensive task into a standardized, automation-ready process.
All scanned data is processed by the PolyWorks software. It compares the 3D scan data to CAD models, generates deviation analysis, and visualizes results on a real-time dashboard. Inspection data can be stored in a database for traceability and rapid retrieval.
leading manufacturer of high-efficiency variable-frequency motors, automotive components, and tooling solutions
Through its partnership with SHINING 3D, Hyunion successfully integrated high-precision 3D scanning technology into its quality management process.
The implementation has enabled the company to overcome key challenges associated with sheet metal inspection, improve measurement efficiency, and reduce production costs by replacing certain functions traditionally performed by dedicated checking fixtures. At the same time, it has advanced the digitalization and automation of the inspection workflow.
The growing adoption of high-accuracy 3D scanning technology offers manufacturers a more flexible and cost-effective alternative.
Using non-contact optical measurement and 3D reconstruction, high-precision 3D scanners can rapidly capture complete digital models of sheet metal parts and perform full-field dimensional inspection. Critical features such as holes, edges, dimensions, and geometric tolerances can all be evaluated within a single digital workflow.
Another major advantage of non-contact measurement is that it eliminates the need for complex, part-specific fixture replicas. Instead, parts can often be secured using simple supports or clamping devices, significantly reducing tooling costs. Combined with flexible holding fixtures, a single 3D scanning system can be used across multiple product types, helping manufacturers lower costs, shorten inspection preparation time, and accelerate production cycles.
Automotive Stamping Parts Manufacturer
Replacing traditional fixtures with a general-purpose 3D scanning system frees manufacturers from the lengthy fixture development process entirely. That time saving — weeks or even months per part — is a huge advantage in the race to launch new models. In fact, compared to traditional fixtures, high‑precision 3D scanning offers three clear advantages:
1. Faster project timelines. A typical fixture takes 1.5 to 2 months to design and build. By eliminating this waiting period, Yinrui can start inspecting parts immediately — cutting project time by at least one-third.
2. Lower costs. Custom fixtures can cost thousands of dollars per part, and complex parts may even require two separate fixtures. With a 3D scanner, the same device handles any shape, eliminating the need for new tooling on every part and delivering substantial savings over time.
3. Non-contact, risk‑free measurement. Traditional fixtures often use probes or gauges that touch the part surface. For thin, easily deformed stamping parts, this contact can be risky. A non-contact scanner captures geometry without any physical pressure, keeping the part in its original condition.
For Yinrui, the move to high-precision 3D scanning has delivered measurable results: shorter lead times, lower costs, and a more flexible inspection process. The company no longer waits weeks for fixtures. It no longer pays thousands of dollars per part for custom tooling. And its quality team can now inspect a much wider variety of parts with the same device.
wireless Dynamic Tracking & Scanning System
This scanner is designed specifically for industrial environments where precision and speed matter equally. It’s also completely wireless and lightweight. The UE Nova weighs only 1.6 kg, and the TE Nova weighs 1.3 kg. This makes it easy to move around the measurement room or even take it directly to the production line. Engineers are not tied to a fixed measuring station. They can scan parts wherever it is most convenient.
Another key feature is that the FreeScan Trak Nova does not require markers. Its built-in dynamic tracking system follows the scanner in real time, which saves even more preparation time. For stamping parts that come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, this flexibility is a game changer.
FreeScan Trak Nova captures 3D data of stamping parts in real time. It generates meshes instantly — there is no separate post-processing step. That means engineers can see the results immediately and move on to the next task without waitin
mechanical engineering company specializing in the design, engineering, manufacturing, and assembly of industrial solutions
Since implementing the FreeScan Trak Nova, Talleres Artificio has transformed its inspection and engineering workflow. Using the scanner, engineers can rapidly capture highly accurate point cloud data directly in the field. The resulting digital models provide a reliable foundation for engineering analysis, reverse engineering, maintenance planning, and quality control.
One significant advantage is the ability to analyze geometric features that would be difficult or impossible to measure using conventional tools such as verify cylindricity. Even when a full 180-degree measurement is inaccessible for traditional instruments such as internal micrometers, the FreeScan Trak Nova can still provide complete and accurate geometric information.
By replacing traditional measurement methods with advanced 3D scanning technology, the company has achieved faster inspections, more accurate data collection, improved engineering confidence, and better outcomes for mining clients.
Large-Area Dynamic Tracking with VPG Technology
The FreeScan Trak Nova allows operators to actively track point clouds across large scanning areas, making it ideal for large-scale industrial equipment inspections.

Incorporating SHINING 3D’s FreeScan Trak Nova into boat mold manufacturing and inspection workflows enables a significant leap forward in quality, accuracy, and efficiency. As demonstrated by NuWave Composites, 3D scanning allows marine manufacturers to digitize their processes and ensure high-quality results from plug to final part.
What really sets the FreeScan Trak Nova apart for NuWave Composites is how well it handles large, curved surfaces like boat hulls and deck molds. Traditional handheld scanners often struggle to maintain accuracy and stability when working with this kind of large-scale parts. But with FreeScan Trak Nova tracking system, the team can scan large objects continuously and accurately, without markers.
The system is wireless, That flexibility makes it easier to scan full-size plugs or legacy parts directly on the shop floor and start building CAD models right away. Moreover, FreeScan Trak Nova system features SHINING 3D’s patented video photogrammetry (VPG). It ensures consistent volumetric accuracy.
One of the most valuable applications of FreeScan Trak Nova is its combination with inspection software for mold inspection. Using PolyWorks Inspector, the team can validate that CNC-machined plugs match the intended CAD models before mold casting begins — preventing costly downstream errors. A

construction machinery manufacturer
By introducing SHINING 3D's high-accuracy 3D scanning technology, LiuGong established a digital measurement workflow that supports quality inspection, fixture verification, and reverse engineering.
Unlike traditional measurement tools, the handheld 3D scanners accurately capture complex geometries regardless of part size or surface complexity. Engineers can quickly generate high-resolution 3D data and directly compare scan results with CAD models, allowing dimensional deviations to be identified immediately.
Production fixtures involve numerous complex spatial dimensions, making them difficult to inspect accurately and efficiently using conventional measuring tools. During production, high-accuracy 3D scanners enable fast, on-site inspection of fixtures with minimal disruption to manufacturing operations. Their portable design allows engineers to verify critical dimensions and geometric tolerances directly on the shop floor, ensuring that fixtures consistently meet the required precision standards.
High-accuracy 3D scanning has also become an essential tool for product development.
For many legacy products where original CAD models are unavailable or incomplete, engineers can digitize physical components and quickly reconstruct accurate 3D models for redesign and optimization. This reverse engineering workflow eliminates one of the biggest obstacles in upgrading older products while significantly reducing development time.
One example involved the redesign of an operator cab. Instead of recreating the geometry manually, engineers captured the existing structure using 3D scanning and used the digital model as the foundation for the new design, greatly improving development efficiency.
Today, high-precision 3D scanning has become an integral part of LiuGong's manufacturing workflow. From digital quality inspection and fixture verification to reverse engineering and product innovation, the technology enables faster, more accurate, and more efficient measurement t

The clarifier cover was digitized in a single day using the FreeScan Trak Nova system. Multiple scan datasets were captured from different orientations to ensure complete surface coverage. The resulting 3D model served as the foundation for inspection, engineering analysis, and CAD reconstruction.
The scan data was imported into PolyWorks, where the engineering team analyzed dimensional features, verified alignment surfaces, and identified all critical geometries needed for accurate reproduction. By combining several large scan files, the team ensured complete coverage and precise measurement of the component.
With the completed scan data in place, Buffalo Metrology’s engineering team transformed the high-resolution 3D mesh into a fully detailed CAD model of the clarifier cover. Rather than simply copying the damaged part, the team extracted all critical dimensions from the scan and rebuilt the model.
The replacement clarifier cover will be fabricated from an industry-standard grade of carbon steel suitable for agitation applications. Material selection, structural considerations, and dimensional accuracy are all guided by the nominal model derived from the 3D scan data.
Buffalo Metrology will engineer a reinforced assembly based on the nominal model and the operational demands of the agitator system. The new design will incorporate welded center supports and structural enhancements to ensure the cover can withstand the significant loads generated during mixing operations.
Wireless & Lightweight Design: The design improves maneuverability around large industrial parts. It allowed operators to move freely around the 8-foot structure without cable constraints, increasing scanning efficiency and reducing setup complexity.
Integrated Video Photogrammetry (VPG): FreeScan Trak Nova incorporates VPG technology, which delivers stable volumetric accuracy across large measurement volumes. For large-scale components such as this clarifier cover, VPG ensures consistent dimensional integrity without extensive markers.
Flexible & Separable System with ultra-large FOV: The system can be separated, allowing the FreeScan UE Nova to operate independently as a handheld scanner. FreeScan UE Nova provides ultra-large FOV, rapid data acquisition, and high scanning efficiency on large surfaces. This flexibility enabled the team to adapt scanning strategy based on geometry—using tracking mode for overall accuracy control and handheld mode for fast coverage of large surface area
