Sculpteo has launched a new professional 3D scanning service to help customers digitise complex objects with high-precision industrial-grade accuracy, speed, and flexibility.
This new service enables companies to transform objects into high-resolution digital files, supporting applications such as prototyping, archiving and on-demand manufacturing.
With a focus on industrial accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility, customers can send or drop off their objects to the Sculpteo factory near Paris, where they are scanned and converted into ready-to-use 3D mesh files, compatible with a wide range of workflows and software environments. Custom file formats are available, ensuring seamless integration into existing design and production pipelines.
Sculpteo’s scanning process is said to be tailored to the size and complexity of each part. Small components are captured using an automated scanning system, where a rotating platform ensures every angle is recorded. For larger or more complex shapes, a manual scanning approach is used to guarantee precise detail capture and ensure that the whole object will be scanned accurately.
Through the new service, Sculpteo expects to support reverse engineering projects by recreating accurate CAD models from existing parts, 3D printing programs by enabling single or short production runs, moulding through the generation of precise moulds, and jigs and fixtures by designing custom tools with perfect alignment to real-world components. The company has also identified an opportunity to support those requiring replacement parts.
Alexandre d’Orsetti, CEO of Sculpteo, said, “We are pleased to be able to expand our offering to create a complete end-to-end solution for clients. We can now offer a complete service from scanning objects right through to 3D printing them at scale. With this service, our vision of becoming the ultimate destination for all 3D printing needs comes to fruition.”
Sculpteo says its 3D scanning service will be priced based on part size, complexity, and required resolution. All digital files will be 'professionally edited and ready for use', with optional CAD-ready formats available for projects requiring editable geometry.
