Who is the SHINING 3D FreeProbe Series Designed For?

  • Designed For

    Industrial metrologists, quality control inspectors, and reverse engineering professionals who need to measure complex geometries, blind spots, and deep holes directly on the shop floor.

  • Not Recommended For

    Users who solely require fast surface data of organic shapes and do not need to measure internal mechanics or concealed coordinate points.

Industry Application

The SHINING 3D FreeProbe Series brings precision measurement from isolated labs directly to the manufacturing environment

  • Automotive & Aviation Industries

    Perform rigorous quality control on complex parts, internal engine features, and concealed geometric brackets.

  • Mechanical & Heavy Engineering

ROI & Business Value 

Real return on investment isn't just about initial cost—it is about the direct impact on your time, energy, and bottom line.

  • Eliminate Quality Control Bottlenecks

    By capturing data in hard-to-reach places without having to destroy or cut the part, you drastically reduce time required for inspection and quality control.

  • Maximize Shop Floor Efficiency

    The wireless technology and rapid setup time mean an operator can move seamlessly around a large object, completing complex metrology tasks without moving the part to a dedicated lab.

  • Reduce Material & Manufacturing Waste

    Submillimeter precision ensures improved product accuracy, which minimizes the risk of downstream defects and costly rework.

How the SHINING 3D FreeProbe Works?

  • 1. Fast Pairing & Setup

    Turn on the FreeProbe device and utilize the fast and intuitive wireless pairing to connect it with your FreeScan Trak system in seconds.

  • 2. Configure Your Probe

    Select from the two included probe tips of different diameters. If needed, combine the tip with an extension rod for deeper reach, or attach an adapter to form an L-type probe for obstructed areas.

  • 3. Dynamic Probing

    Move freely around your workpiece. The FreeScan Trak system dynamically tracks the FreeProbe. With the FreeProbe 2 Pro, you can even maintain stable tracking when some marker plates are blocked by the part's geometry.

  • 4. Analyze & Inspect

    The collected point data transfers seamlessly into major industrial inspection software for immediate evaluation and reporting.
