Minolta Scanner
Plugin
For Geomagic Studio 6, Qualify 6, and Qualify 7
Copyright © 2004, Raindrop Geomagic, Inc.
The Minolta Vivid 700 and Vivid 910 are non-contact 3D digitizers that scan
an object on or without a turntable. [See Konica Minolta Photo Imaging
U.S.A., Inc. at www.minoltausa.com.] The Vivid 700 and Vivid 910 can be
controlled by Geomagic Studio and Geomagic Qualify.
The purpose of this (or any) scanner plugin is to eliminate the need to import
scan data into Geomagic products. With the plugin, scanned data exists in the
Geomagic Model Manager immediately after the data capture process.
In This Chapter
• For reference information on the controls and indicators of the Minolta
Scanning plug-in, see Controls and Indicators on 3-1.
• For a sample scanning procedure, see Minolta Scan -- Step-by-Step.
Controls and Indicators
The controls and indicators on the Minolta Scan dialog (some not available
with the Vivid 700) are divided into three categories: General, Camera, and
Turntable.
General Controls
• Name (text field) - is the name assigned to the next scan, in the form
text-degree, where degree is 0 to 360. The degree part increments by the
amount configured at Rotation Step each time the Next button is
pressed.
• Scan button - initiates a laser scan named in the Name field. To re-scan
an object from a given angle, press Scan instead of Next.
• Next button - function depends on the Scan Mode:
• when Scan Mode is Single, saves the previous scan in the Geomagic
Model Manager,
• when Scan Mode is MultiShot, saves the previous scan in the Geo-
magic Model Manager, increments the degree part of Name by the
amount configured at Rotation Step, and rotates the turntable by that
amount. When you are ready for the next scan, click Scan.
