Bound for IMTS? Check out these free workshops

Posted: 13 Sep 2010 08:45 AM PDT

Processors or moldmakers attending the IMTS 2010 tradeshow this week in Chicago will want to find time for these free workshops on 3D scanning as a tool for Q/A or for reverse engineering.

The workshops come courtesy of Konica Minolta Sensing Americas (KMSA; Ramsey, NJ), which will be holding them at its stand during IMTS 2010 in Chicago, IL on September 13-18, 2010.

KMSA will be showcasing its RANGE 7 3D non-contact scanner, used for measuring the three-dimensional shape of objects such as plastic moldings, thermoformed parts or any other parts, as well as forged or cast metal parts.

Also available are the VIVID series of 3D scanners as used for research and development, design, and other applications. At its IMTS stand (E5328), Konica Minolta will be hosting the free workshops each day. The workshop "3D Scanning for Inspection" will be held daily during the show at 10:00, 13:00, and 15:00. The second, "3D Scanning for Reverse Engineering" will be held daily at 11:00, 14:00, and 16:00. All attendees to the workshops are entered to win an Apple iPAD.

New to the portfolio of 3D scanning products offered by the company is a step away from its hardware sales history. Now, it also will offer contract services including 3D scanning, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping and inspection on a project-by-project basis. Jim Clark, 3D business unit manager for KMSA, stated, "We have been involved in the development and sale of 3D scanning hardware for well over a decade. Offering a services division is a major shift in our business model, since our focus has always been on hardware sales. We feel that this shift is very positive and complimentary to the sales side of our business." Also new from the company is its own online shopping site http://www.shopkmsa.com.
