Sculpteo launches 3D scanning service in Europe

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, Sculpteo’s 3D scanning service captures every detail of a part using advanced scanning technologies. Customers can simply 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 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 that the whole object will be scanned accurately.

Sculpteo’s new 3D scanning service is designed for multiple applications across various industries:

• Reverse engineering: Recreate accurate CAD models from existing parts when original files are missing or outdated.
• 3D printing: Produce single units or short production runs quickly and cost-effectively.
• Moulding: Generate precise moulds from digitized master parts for consistent reproduction.
• Jigs and fixtures: Design custom tools with perfect alignment to real-world components.
• Replacement parts: Manufacture on-demand spare parts to extend product lifecycles and reduce waste.

By enabling fast and accurate digitisation, Sculpteo helps companies accelerate product development, reduce lead times, and improve operational efficiency. Sculpteo’s 3D scanning service is priced based on part size, complexity, and required resolution. All digital files are professionally edited and ready for use. Optional CAD-ready formats are available for projects requiring editable geometry.

"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," said Sculpteo CEO Alexandre d’Orsetti.
