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

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

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.
