INGEO can offer the 3D scanning service with a VIVID 910 non-contact 3D laser scanner (Konica Minolta).
The VIVID 910 non-contact 3D laser scanner is a portable instrument for the acquisition of three-dimensional images used with software included.
 VIVID 910 is the ideal 3D capture device for research and development, design, schools, game software, video production, apparel industry, museums and measurement of the human body.
The VIVID 910 laser scanner employs laser-beam light sectioning technology to scan workpieces using a slit beam. Light reflected from the workpiece is acquired by a CCD camera, and 3D data is then created by triangulation to determine distance information.
The laser beam is scanned using a high-precision galvanometric mirror, and 640×480 individual points can be measured per scan.
Konica Minolta's unique high-speed image processing chips have been integrated in order to ensure rapid measurement, and this has made it possible to complete measurements in 2.5 seconds (or in as little as 0.3 seconds in FAST mode).
In particular, when operating in FAST mode, this advanced product requires only 0.3 seconds for data input; furthermore, when operating in FINE mode, precision of ± 0.008mm and accuracy of ± 0.10mm can be achieved on the Z-axis.
In addition to distance data, this 3D scanner can also be used to acquire color image data. Employing a rotating filter to separate the acquired light, the VIVID 910 can create color image data for 640×480 points with the same CCD as used for distance data.
A high-precision galvanometric scanner is used together with highly accurate adjustment-chart equipment to ensure high-accuracy calculation of 3D data by the VIVID 910.
 What's more, polygon-editing software is included with this product as a standard accessory. Using this application, you will be able to automatically align and combine a number of 3D data sets acquired from different angles.
With the VIVID 910 laser scanner, even higher levels of precision can be acquired in the alignment of data segments.
Previous technologies could not efficiently acquire data for surface sections containing both light and dark colors in a single operation. But you can now use Dynamic Range Expansion mode - a cutting-edge VIVID 910 technology - to digitize this type of surface with one scan and without the need for additional surface processing.
