Value - Konica Minolta sets a new price /

performance threshold

Who but Konica Minolta gives you the VIVID 910 3-D Scanner, offering high-speed and high-accuracy, at a high-value price? VIVID 910 is the newest of Konica Minolta's VIVID family of 3-D scanners. You've come to know Konica Minolta's VIVID digitizers, setting the pace in 3-D digitizing with performance, attractive price, simple camera-like operation, and rock-solid reliability.

Main Applications

The VIVID 910 is ideal for the following applications:

• On-Line Quality Control Inspection of production parts (i.e. CAI, CAT)

• First Article Inspection; Tool and Die Verification

• Industrial Design: capture design studies into CAD database

• Rapid Prototyping Input

• Reverse Engineering: create CAD legacy data from master parts

• 3-D shape capture for Computer Aided Engineering Analysis (CAE and FEA)

• Machine Vision

• Medical Applications:

• Surgical Planning (maxillofacial, dental and orthopedic), orthotics and prosthetics, plastic surgery, anthropometric measurements

• Archiving: Museums, Artifact & Antiquities cataloging, Archeology, Anthropology research

• Computer graphics: Animation, Computer Simulations

• Web content creation/ on-line product catalog creation

Comparison with 3-D data

Certified Peformance

Who but Konica Minolta backs up the volumetric accuracy of their digitizer products? Konica Minolta understands the importance of quantifiable performance to organizations with ISO 9000 certification and all who compete in today's quality-driven, manufacturing world. Konica Minolta stands behind the VIVID 910 by offering a "Certificate of Performance" traceable to national standards laboratories.

Flexibility: Variable digitizing Volumes by interchangeable Lenses

Autofocus

Who but Konica Minolta gives you the flexibility to capture the hood ornament, the whole hood, or the whole car? The VIVID 910 can digitize variable volumes (between 110 x 80 x 40 mm and 1200 x 900 x750 mm) while still maintaining precise repeatability. Large part - small part, just pick the right lens for the size of your scan. The three lenses (telephoto, medium, wide

angle) are standard equipment and are as easy to change as the lens on your SLR camera. (TELE: f=25mm, MIDDLE f=14mm, WIDE f=8)

Portable & Compact

Who but Konica Minolta understands portability? VIVID 910 travels light -- it is compact (213mm (8-3/8 in.) x 413mm (16-1/4 in.) x 271mm (10-11/16 in.)) weighs only 11kg (24 lbs.) and is a standalone instrument. You don't even need a host computer to use Vivid. Multiple scans can be saved to the compact flash memory or viewed immediately on the rear-panel's color LCD viewfinder.

Main display examples

Advanced Polygon Editing Software (Standard Accessory)

●

Who but Konica Minolta gives you a whole solution, not just data? Each VIVID 910 includes Konica Minolta's powerful polygonediting software. You can operate the VIVID from your host computer, perform automatic data registration,

●

edit captured scan data (fill holes, decimate, smooth, etc), merge scans into a single “watertight” mesh, and export into a variety of data formats.

Import Formats: *.stl, and *.cam, *.vvd, *.scn, *.cdm

Export Formats: *.dxf, *.obj Wavefront,

ASCII (point cloud data) TIFF *.tif, * PDM (texture map color data)

Software functions

Automatic and Manual data registration, data merging, smoothing, sub-sampling and curvature-based decimation, polygon checking (intersections, degeneration, etc), texture blending and merging, etc.

•

Point Group Editing Selection via color, Bezier, rectangle tools, interactive and parametric rotation, translation of point groups, hole filling, smoothing, cloning and deletion of point groups. Color editing: color blending and merging of multiple color scans

•

Camera Remote Operation Image capture, auto/manual-ranging, (i.e., depth of field setting), auto/manual laser power setting, camera data acquisition control, turntable control

•

Scan Data Display Modes Wireframe, smooth shaded, flat shaded, color image, texture mapping

Who but Konica Minolta, the leader in optical technology, brings autofocus from the world of photography to our precision measurement devices? There is no need to move the VIVID back and forth, or to manually adjust to guess at the optimal focus, its automatic.

Who but Konica Minolta gives you color data is second to none? Vivid's color images are equivalent to a 3 CCD digital camera with full 24bit color depth. 640 x 480 x 24 bits. Konica Minolta's expertise shows through with MeasureMax, the ability to capture a wider range of dark to shinny surface finishes that blind other digitizers.

Who but Konica Minolta gives you camera-like simplicity? Unlike some digitizers, there is no lengthy set-up, warm-up and calibration process before your can measure. No moving the scanner back and forth until just the right distance is reached: its automatic. No need to manually adjust the scanner for different ambient light conditions. Konica Minolta has eliminated these quirks found in other scanners. Turn it on, aim and frame using the LCD viewfinder, and shoot.

But what about scanning an object from all sides? We've made that easy too. Konica Minolta provides an optional rotating table to index the scanned part and capture all sides in one automated process. Each scan is automatically aligned. Who else makes it this easy?
