Abstract A new scanner that can be placed in different locations allows multiple scans to be subsequently stitched or registered together to create one complete 3-D registration of the area. Engineering firms manage more data today than ever before and because of this, laser scanning has by and large become the new currency in the competitive world of engineering. Among the new currency being brought into circulation by various companies is a 3-D digitizer series from Minolta (Mahwah, NJ) - a portable, non-contact surface and texture digitizer designed for workplace and remote location uses. The Vivid digitizer can be used over any surface or part without specific fixturing. The scan data can be input into either a PC or laptop station. Placing the scanner in different locations allows multiple scans to be subsequently stitched or registered together to create one single, complete 3-D registration of the area. It has digitizing software that enables a user to select specific points (up to 40,000 pts) on th e model to be viewed, modified or scaled down. XX
