Minolta VIVID-700 3D Laser Digitizer
The 3D Laser Digitizer is used for taking real-world objects and creating detailed 3D models from them for use in a computer, and also creating the texture maps at the same time. It has been used for everything from people’s faces to reverse-engineering of detailed mechanical parts. With the included software, it will bring in objects as small as a coin with all the detail to items as large as cars by automatically stitching together various views. These items can then be used for computer animation or immediately output into stereolithography machines .
The 3D Laser Digitizer will create not only the computer models, but also a texture map for them at the same time to greatly simplify the overall process. The unit is light enough to hand-hold while digitizing, or can be mounted on a tripod if desired. It can either be attached to a computer or used stand-alone and the included memory card used to transfer the data to a computer at a later time, so it is easy to take out on site if needed.
Description From Minolta:
The World's First Portable 3-D Digitizer with Telephoto Optics
The VIVID 700 has hundreds of users in a variety of fields including:
Industrial Design
Education
Anthropology and Archeology
Packaging design
Medicine and Dentistry
Research
The applications are limited only by your imagination.
You can use the telephoto optics to capture fine detail, or the wide angle setting to scan large areas. VIVID 700 has a built in video view-finder and control panel for stand-alone operation. You don’t even need a computer attached to capture the shape and color of the physical world into the digital domain.
Features
Easy, Stand-alone operation
The VIVID can capture data independently of any host computer with the ease of use of a point- and-shoot camera. The optional ATA-PC memory card allows self-contained scanning and data storage.
When used with the optional rotating stage, scans are aligned automatically for especially fast model making.
High-speed Scanning At a 0.6 second scan time, no waiting, it's done!
Portable
At under 20 lbs. the VIVID 700 is easily brought to the subject and repositioned for each scan.
Powerful Editing Tool Suite: Standard equipment
VIVID equals Value. Polygon processing tools for which you’d expect to pay thousands are included with the VIVID scanners. Capabilities include scan alignment, merging, filtering, smoothing decimation and export into many popular formats. The data from the scanned object can be exported into various file formats such as DXF, VRML, Wavefront (native binary-data for PowerAnimator, too), Softimage and ASCII. The texture information from the digital camera may be exported with the 3-D data or saved separately as a TIFF or UNIX RGB. You have everything you need to create a complete, polygonal, water-tight model.
