Laser scanning: A growing market
The use of laser scanning continues to grow in Building Information Modeling (BIM) and construction, becoming a valuable part of project workflows for design and quality assurance. Industry 4.0 markets are also booming, with Reality Capture providing accurate as-built information for digital twins to enable asset management workflows. Automotive and manufacturing plants around the world are also leveraging the potential of 3D scan data acquired from a diverse range of laser scanners, ultimately helping professionals to virtually transform their factory operations.
Valued at $3.7 billion in 2020, the global 3D scanning market size is projected to reach $16.7 billion by 2030. Cintoo's flagship product, the Cintoo Platform, is revolutionizing the way companies handle and use 3D scan data. Its unique TurboMesh™ engine ensures that 3D scans retain the original resolution of the scanner, optimizing the user experience with seamless navigation and visualization. Recent developments of the Cintoo Platform include the new Cintoo Metaverse portfolio, allowing to bring the as-built conditions with an incredible fidelity into various Industrial Metaverse applications.
Dominique Pouliquen added: “Our journey since launching the Cintoo Platform in 2019 has been hugely rewarding and successful. I’m immensely grateful to our early investors - UI Investissement, Region Sud Investissement, Sofipaca, and Creazur - for their support during this crucial phase of our growth and their contribution to our success. I’d also like to extend my sincere appreciation to investors Amavi Capital and Armilar Venture Partners for their continued support and confidence in our vision, both in the past and as we move forward into the future.”
