Fuel3D

Fuel3D is a company specializing in a handheld 3D scanning system that offers affordable, high-quality 3D shape and color capture for various creative applications. Its scanner combines pre-calibrated stereo cameras with photometric imaging, enabling rapid capture and processing of detailed 3D images. This innovation addresses the high costs associated with traditional 3D scanning, which can exceed $15,000, making it inaccessible for many independent game developers, designers, and artists. Initially developed for medical imaging at Oxford University by Professor Ron Daniel, Fuel3D's technology has been adapted for broader market use, aiming to provide point-and-shoot 3D imaging solutions for both consumers and professionals. The company is currently led by CEO Stuart Mead, who has extensive experience in global technology ventures.
