Structured Light 3D Scanners

(Blue/LED Light)

Precision scanning for small to medium parts

Structured light scanners, also known as optical 3D scanners, use blue or LED light patterns projected onto an object. These patterns are read by stereo cameras to reconstruct the object's geometry with exceptional accuracy and resolution. They are ideal for capturing intricate details of parts with smooth, light-colored, or matte surfaces.

3D Laser Scanners

(Blue/Red Laser Triangulation)

Built for industrial applications and tough environments

3D laser scanners emit laser lines or multiple beams onto the object, while onboard cameras capture the reflections to generate accurate 3D data in real time. These scanners are perfect for reverse engineering, inspection, and large-part scanning, even on dark, shiny, or complex surfaces, offering speed, precision, and reliability.

Infrared Light 3D Scanners

(Structured Light, Eye-safe)

Ideal for scanning humans, organic forms, and darker objects

Using VCSEL-based infrared structured light, these scanners emit invisible IR patterns that are safe for human eyes and highly effective on dark or complex surfaces. With similarities to LiDAR in principle, these are your go-to scanners for face scanning, medical modeling, and non-engineering applications.

Optical Dynamic Tracker 3D Scanners

Real-time scanning for large parts — no markers needed

Optical dynamic tracking scanners use video photogrammetry or tracking arms to continuously monitor the scanner's position relative to the object — without any physical markers. These are ideal for automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries where mobility and speed are critical.

Hybrid Technology 3D Scanners

(Multifunctional)

One scanner. Many possibilities.

Hybrid scanners combine two types of light sources (typically laser + LED or IR) in a single device. This allows users to switch modes or automatically adapt based on object type, material, or Size. If you're scanning a wide variety of parts or applications, hybrid technology offers unmatched versatility.

Lidar scanner

(Terrestrial Lidar laser)

For terrains, buildings, and plant environments

While not yet part of our current Shining 3D portfolio, LiDAR scanners are a key technology for long-range applications. They use laser pulses to map large environments with millimeter-level precision — essential for civil engineering, architecture, and geospatial surveying.
