Konica Bundles VIVID 910 3D Digitizer with rapidformXOR
 RAMSEY,
New Jersey, February 2, 2007 - Konica Minolta, the makers of the VIVID line
of precision 3D laser scanners, today announced a new offer, which combines
rapidformXOR software with the VIVID 910 3D digitizer. VIVID’s precise scan
data is transformed directly into intelligent, parametric CAD models
directly into SolidWorks and other parametric CAD software. This highly
affordable advanced 3D scanning technology is now available for as low as
$2000 a month through a special offer from Konica Minolta.
The bundling of these world-class products means that reverse engineering
of 3D models, often an arduous, manual process, has been automated, allowing
high productivity, excellent fidelity and intelligence of the model and high
usability of the data in downstream CAD software.
“The combination of the VIVID with XOR allows users to generate
intelligent parametric 3D models faster than ever before,” comments Marty
Chader, 3D Business Unit Manager, Konica Minolta Sensing. “This combination
closes the gap for the designer, operating on physical parts in the real
world, and performing computer-aided design and analysis the virtual world.”
He continues, “The combined software and digitizer allow parts to be
reverse-engineered into a parametric model, with a full history tree, in a
faction of the time it used to take.”
Konica Minolta’s versatile laser digitizers scan real 3D objects in a
matter of seconds, exporting a polygonal mesh describing the shape of the
scanned object with typical accuracy of 0.050 millimeters. rapidformXOR,
software from INUS Technology, converts the scan data into intelligent
features within the CAD environment. Users can choose commands within
Rapidform to turn their 3D scans into parametric models, that are
automatically sent to SolidWorks as native part files.
The package is available to customers in North and South America for
purchase from Konica Minolta at a special low price, and is also available
for a 24-month lease. The most accurate and convenient 3D reverse modeling
technology in the world can be had for as little as $2000 per month.
“Digital scanning is cheaper and faster than the alternative – having a
CAD engineer measure and remodel the object,” explains Chader. “Complex
forms could take weeks to model by hand, an expensive approach that may not
capture all the wanted details accurately. With the new VIVID package, the
3D models can be produced in much less time, speeding the design process and
freeing engineers to concentrate on new development.”
