Specification

  • type: Minolta Vivid 900
  • Type of device: laser goniometer (note - inevitable depth noise is inherent to this kind of 3D scanners)
  • Resolution: map of 640x480 z-depth values per take
  • Distance of object from the scanner: roughly 0.5 ~ 1.2m
  • Laser: red laser, Class 2 (IEC60825-1) or Class 1 (FDA) – direct hit of an eye retina doesn't cause permanent damage.
  • Absolute precision of z-axis measurement: 0.1 to 1.5 mm depending on lens used (lower precision for greater distance from the scanner and wide angle lenses)
  • Optional RGB photo fits to z-data map for easier shell registration or basic texturing
  • More details (tech specs) here » (compatible with 910i)
  • Software – Package able to register multiple shells (merging takes of a object from different angles into one 3D mesh):
    • Minolta tool PET for automatic shell registration
    • Rapid Form 2004 premier software for advanced processing of most complicated 3D structures
  • Available: custom enhancement for additional and  more precise diffuse texture data reading – the mirror in front of a scanner's lens allows to take high-res RGB images of the object being scanned by high end digital SLR camera.
  • Available: heavy camera tripod for easy scanner positioning.
