Konica Minolta Sensing Americas Announces New 3D Scanning and Engineering Services Division

RAMSEY, N.J., Nov. 12 /3DNewsWire.com/ — Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, Inc.
(KMSA), the worldwide leader in the industrial measurement of color, light and
shape, announces the addition of its new 3D scanning and engineering services
division to its existing 3D non-contact scanner business unit.

“This is a very exciting time for us as we launch this new 3D services
business,” said Jim Clark, KMSA 3D Business Unit Manager. “We see huge potential
in offering this type of service to our customers. Many were not able to afford
the purchase of hardware this past year due to economic conditions. We were
continually asked if we could simply scan parts on a project by project basis.”

In a rapid response to better service these customers, KMSA has quickly invested
and deployed this new division to address the needs of those looking for 3D
service solutions in the areas of reverse engineering, rapid prototyping, 3D
scanning, design and engineering as well as finite element analysis.

KMSA has 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,” said Jim.

KMSA will be primarily utilizing its own VIVID and RANGE series 3D equipment as
these units will fit almost any application. Being a leading manufacturer of
hardware, KMSA has vast applications knowledge from nearly every type of
manufacturing industry. “This knowledge positions Konica far above existing
service only competitors. We can offer a level of service and expertise to our
customers which will be unmatched by anyone else in the industry. For our
customers KMSA will be the only resource they will need,” added Jim.

KMSA will be offering up to 50% off all new customers’ first scanning services
job until January 31, 2010. For more detailed information on 3D scanning
