Past deals in 3D Technology

Fuel3D

Series A in 2022
Fuel3D is a company that specializes in affordable handheld 3D scanning technology, aimed at providing high-quality 3D shape and color capture for various creative applications. The Fuel3D scanner is a point-and-shoot device that utilizes pre-calibrated stereo cameras combined with photometric imaging to quickly capture high-resolution mesh and color information of objects. This innovative approach addresses the common challenges of time and cost associated with generating quality 3D images, which often exceed $15,000 for traditional scanners, making them inaccessible for many independent developers and artists. Originally developed at Oxford University for medical imaging, Fuel3D's technology is now being adapted for the broader 3D market, with the intention of making point-and-shoot 3D imaging accessible to both consumers and professionals. The company is led by Stuart Mead, who brings extensive experience from various successful technology ventures.
