Below are a number of examples showing the capabilities of the Konica-Minolta 3D Digitizer & some of the work we've done for our clients. Applications shown include 1) 3D shape capture and conversion to an STL file for use with our Z-Printer, 2) reverse engineering of a hand-laid composite race car component and conversion of the scanned data to a CAD-usable file, 3) dimensional comparison of a CAD model and a 3D printed part, and 4) a quick scan face capture and conversion of the scan data into a printable 3D file.

The CETL uses the Konica-Minota Vivid 910 3D scanner for 3D shape capture and reverse engineering. The scanner is capable of capturing >300,000 data points in 2.5 s in fine mode, and down to ~77,000 points in 0.3 s in fast mode. Maximum resolution varies from 0.0016" to 0.0035", depending on the lens used.

 Dimensional comparison between the CAD model and the 3D printed, scanned part. The yellow-to-red range shows positive deviations from the desired dimensions, while the blue-to-purple range shows negative dimensional deviations.
