High-precision 3D scanner

Direct award - Request for tender High-precision 3D scanner

Description of goods:

We are looking for a high-precision 3D scanner and accompanying software for point cloud management, postprocessing and 3D model generation.

Requirements specifications of goods/services

The purchase must include the following products/commitments/services:

1. 3D scanner:  

Able to scan objects sized ~ 20 cm – 250 cm.  

Structured light technology.

Meant for applications in areas such as restoration, artwork conservation, detailed surface inspection (e.g. detailed crack and textural feature registration) etc.

High resolution (< 1 mm point to point).

High accuracy (< 0.1 mm).  

High capture speed (< 1 s).

Capture of point clouds. 

Capture and mapping of color and depth data. 

Optional: Compact dimensions and product design allowing for attachment or camera mount so that the device can easily be fitted onto a smaller robotic arm such as KUKA Agilus KR10. 

2. Accompanying software: 

Provides an easy interface to start and stop captures, adjust settings, record point clouds, cloud stitching, meshing, and texturing. 

Allows for the export of meshes into common 3D formats. 

Allows for the export of raw point clouds into common point cloud formats. 

Free or one time purchase. 

Long-term support, software updates and bug fixes. 

Optional: Interoperability and possibility to write custom plug-ins for interfacing with other software, such as McNeel’s Rhinoceros 3D.

3. SDK: 

API to start and stop captures, adjust settings, acquire point clouds, color and depth data.  

API for point cloud stitching, meshing and texturing. 

C++ or C#. 

Well-documented.

Long-term support, updates and bug fixes.

Price

Price shall be submitted in SEK excluding VAT and include all related costs requested in this request for tender.

Agreement terms

Confidentiality and the freedom of information principle

After the procurement has been terminated the principle of public access to official records applies. This means that all documents related to the procurement process become public and may be disclosed to anyone who requests access to them.
