Konica Minolta Vivid 9i 3D Laser Scanner
Point-And-Scan Simplicity
The Konica Minolta Vivid 9i laser scanner operates just like a normal
digital camera. Just point the scanner at the object to be scanned, adjust
the viewing area using live video feedback and then hit the scan button.
The scanner is fully automatic, adjusting laser power and focus on its
own. Users can also manually control the settings, just like a standard
digital camera. A 3D image is generated within seconds.

Versatile 3D Scanner
The Konica Minolta Vivid 9i 3D scanner uses a new hardware design
and an improved measurement algorithm to provide 4 times the measurement
accuracy
compared to the Vivid 910 3D scanner (to 50µm), enabling 3D measurement
of automobile parts and other objects formed by casting, pressing and
molding.
The Konica Minolta Vivid 9i can be used for reverse engineering to reflect
the shape of mock-ups or prototypes in design drawings, or checking
part shape, checking molds and surface quality in prototype production
or mass production processes.
The Vivid 9i 3D scanner can also be used with a high accuracy photogrammetry
system. By combining 3D scans with photogrammetry, relatively large parts
such as doors, bumpers and interior panels
can be rapidly measured and the data merged with
high accuracy.
High Speed & Consistent Accuracy

Field calibration unit
The Vivid 910 can 3D scan 307,000 points in only 2.5 seconds. This makes
the Vivid 9i 3D scanner ideal for onsite inspection during production.
The new
Field Calibration System negates inaccuracies caused by lens exchange
or environmental changes. A simple calibration procedure before use
assures the optimal performance from the Vivid 9i 3D scanner.
Automated 360° 3D Scanning


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
Dashboard
scanned with photogrammetry and the Vivid 9i 3D scanner
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.
