SHINING 3D upgrades the FreeScan Trak Nova+ scanning system
Wireless tracking scanner gains laser lines and scan speed over its predecessor
SHINING 3D has launched FreeScan Trak Nova+, an upgraded version of its FreeScan Trak Nova wireless dynamic tracking and scanning system. The system combines wireless operation, marker-free scanning, dynamic tracking and built-in video photogrammetry (VPG) in a single unit that can also detach to work as a large-field-of-view handheld laser scanner.
That design lets users capture large components, complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas without cables or extensive marker setup.
Faster scanning
The main change from the previous model is an enhanced laser configuration, with the FreeScan Trak Nova+ able to reach a scanning speed of up to 7,600,000 points per second, which in turn cuts data-acquisition time.
In tracking mode, the system offers three scanning options: 62 laser lines for high-speed scans, 25 parallel laser lines for detailed scans, and a single laser line for scanning deep pockets. Detached and used as a handheld scanner, it also carried 62 laser lines, up from 50 on the prior generation.Â
The added speed is aimed at improving the capture of large or complex components, as it enables users to capture extensive surface data while retaining detailed geometry.
Mobile workstation option
The FreeScan Trak Nova series can be paired with a dedicated mobile workstation that integrates computing hardware and battery power into a portable setup, letting users move around large components without a fixed workstation.Â
The pairing has been positioned by SHINING 3D as ideal for field measurement, inspection and reverse-engineering work carried out on site and away from a stationary lab setup.
