In-Q-Tel has poured investment into Fuel3D to help develop the company’s 3D scanning system for applications in an effort to help IQT“™s clients with national defense and intelligence missions.
Fuel3D said Wednesday its Scanify 3D point-and-shoot scanner can be used for 3D printing or on-screen applications in biometrics, sport and orthopedics, among other areas.
Launched in January, the technology uses photometric imaging techniques and stereo cameras that work to capture full-color 3D models of various subjects in just a tenth of a second.
“The ability for non-technical users to easily create 3D models of everyday objects is an exciting new capability,“ said Simon Davidson, partner at IQT Investments.
“We“™re eager to help our government customers leverage these advances through the further development of Fuel3D“™s technology.“
