Konica Minolta Vivid 910 3D Laser Scanner

Easy to Use 3D Laser Scanner - Automated Scanning

Konica Minolta, the world's largest manufacturer of 3-D non-contact digitizing instruments, has developed a 3-D scanner with the simplicity of a point and shoot camera that 3D scans 300,000 points in a single 3D scan picture.

If you can use a standard camera, you can use the Konica Minolta Vivid 910 3D laser scanner. Turn it on, aim and frame using the LCD viewfinder, and shoot. The VIVID 910 has features like portability, auto-focus, three interchangeable lenses, and color images equivalent to a digital camera with full 24-bit color depth. You can export files into a number of file formats including: STL, DXF, OBJ, ASCII points, VRML.

The Vivid 910 scanner operates with the simplicity of a single button click. There is no lengthy set-up, warm-up, or calibration process. With Konica Minolta's precision auto focus, there is no need to move the VIVID 910 back and forth or to manually adjust or guess at the optimal focus. There is also no need for manual adjustment for different ambient light conditions.

3D scan variable volumes (between 100x80x40mm and 1200x900x400mm) while maintaining precise repeatability. Three lenses (telephoto, medium, wide angle) are standard equipment and are as easy to change as the lens on your SLR camera.

High Speed
The Vivid 910 can 3D scan 307,000 points in only 2.5 seconds, or 3D scan 77,000 points in 0.3 seconds. Users have the option to choose between the faster or slower scan times.

Automated 360° 3D Scanning

Six separate scans using the computer controlled turntable, aligned and merged automatically into one file in just a few minutes.

With Konica Minolta's optional rotating table, you can index the scanned part and capture all sides in one automated process.

Portable
The Vivid 910 weighs approximately 11 Kg's and does not require a host computer. This allows the Vivid 910 to quickly and easily moved between locations for 3D scanning. Users have used the Vivid series of 3D scanners for detailed archeological onsite 3D scanning.

Complete Software & Hardware Package

Face scans merged into a single object with colour

All VIVID products come with digitizing software that enables a user to select specific points on a target object to be viewed, modified, modeled, or scaled with ease. The supplied software provides users with the ability to combine disparate scans, such as that shown above, and then combine and merge the data into a single 3D model.

The VIVID supports a wide range of software applications via industry standard 3D file formats. Software packages such as those provided by Raindrop Geomagic can process 3D scan data directly into NURBS files.

The Vivid 910 can also be controlled directly from within a number of Raindrop Geomagic software packages.
