| FAQ Summary | Q: What is the FreeScan UE Nova?
A: The FreeScan UE Nova is a wireless wide-range laser handheld 3D scanner with an extra-large field of view of 2.6 × 2.2 m, designed for efficient capture of large industrial objects.
Q: What is the maximum scanning distance of the FreeScan UE Nova?
A: The FreeScan UE Nova has a maximum scanning distance of 2.6 meters, with three selectable working ranges: near (300-800 mm), standard (600-1500 mm), and far (1200-2600 mm).
Q: Does the FreeScan UE Nova support wireless operation?
A: Yes, the FreeScan UE Nova is fully wireless with integrated wireless modules, built-in computing, and hot-swappable batteries for continuous scanning in remote locations.
Q: Can UE Nova be used in confined spaces despite its wide field of view?
A: Yes, although UE Nova has a maximum data capture range of 2.6 meters, the software offers three selectable working ranges to adapt to different environments: Near (300 ~ 800 mm), Standard (600 ~ 1500 mm), and Far (1200 ~ 2600 mm). This flexibility allows it to function effectively in narrow spaces.
Q: What is the maximum size of an object that the UE Nova can handle?
A: The maximum object size that UE Nova can scan depends on your PC’s performance. To accommodate larger measurements, multiple projects can be set up and merged, effectively extending the scanning capability.
Q: Is the scanner certified or traceable to standards?
A: Yes. The scanner provides inspection reports and calibration certificates traceable to international standards such as VDI/VDE 2634 and ISO 10360 (subject to the actual certificates issued). All calibration and verification procedures are performed in SHINING 3D’s accredited Accuracy Lab, which operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.
Q: Which reverse engineering and inspection software is this 3D scanner compatible with?
A: This 3D scanner is compatible with most mainstream software. For reverse engineering, it works with EXModel and Geomagic Design X. For inspection, it supports Geomagic Control X, PolyWorks Inspector, and SHINING3D Inspect, enabling smooth workflows for CAD modeling and quality control.
Q: Is there a difference in scanning speed between wired and wireless modes?
A: Both wired and wireless modes have equivalent data transmission bandwidth under full operating conditions, ensuring consistent scanning speed in both modes.
Q: Can the UE Nova be used for outdoor scanning?
A: The UE Nova is designed for outdoor scanning and comes with lens filters to enhance its performance in outdoor environments.
Q: What is volumetric accuracy?
A: Volumetric accuracy refers to the measurement precision of a scanner across its entire scanning volume, rather than the accuracy of individual points. It is a critical metric for inspecting large components, as it reflects how errors accumulate with distance.
Q: What light sources are used by this 3D scanner for data acquisition?
A: FreeScan UE Nova supports blue laser for data acquisition.
Blue laser: Low sensitivity to ambient light and surface reflectivity. It is well suited for industrial inspection and high-accuracy applications. | |
