We have well taken advantage of the coolness of our workshop in the Pyrenees all summer long and we have worked a lot to increase even more your satisfaction !

Many Internet users work with the 3D software Google Sketchup.
This tutorial will show you the main errors to avoid, in order that your 3D models can be compatible with a 3D printing :

Animated by a wish to inject dynamisn into the region of the Pyrenees, Sculpteo's founders have established the production site in Arreau, a district to which they have become attached. Arreau, this magnificient country of Bigore (France) is in the heart of the mountains, and has thus welcomed Sculpteo and the EOS, a machine that allows to print objects in white polyamid through a sintering powder process, which you can watch for the first time in the video.

On fascinating trick is the free 3D software Sculptris, which needs no installation on your computer and which you can download for free at Pixologic.com. On many aspects, the software is similar to its big brother named Zbrush, but is less developed and consequently, in addition to being very aesthetic and accessible even to those who have never designed anything in 3D, Sculptris is also very easy to handle.

We do not stop innovation within Sculpteo, and we intend to pursue that tendency. Effectively, Sculpteo's team does not hesitate to go through fire and water to satisfy each of our users, and we are mindful of every advice we are given.
We have chosen an object from the gallery to illustrate the new personalization modules: the magnificent "sablier_laby" (to sell in the gallery), designed by one of the members of Sculpteo's virtual community.

An excellent article has been published by one of our flying aircraft model maker on July 23rd 2010, on jivaro-models.org: we have printed white polyamid pieces for his "flying object", a short time ago.

Here at last is the post about our "open door" evening, on July 8th !
All Sculpteo's team got mobilized to welcome you to our open door evening in Vanves, during which we have spent a very agreable moment in your company, having a drinking (and crackers) while such gathered.

That evening was a valuable opportunity that unabled us to exchange with you, and to have a concrete preview of the use of our objects ; thanks to the rail transport modelling fans that came with their models, for that matter. More over, we have appreciated your curiosity and your interest in our activity, because each is a fuel for Sculpteo!

As you certainly all know, when one intends to switch from one 3D modeling software to another, the ideal and most common file format is the obj, as it has been adopted by most of the 3D graphics applications. All being well, the obj format is also one of the (cf. formats) that are supported on our website.

Sculpteo is just back from a four-day exhibition at the Japan Expo, from July 1st to July 4th, with the participation of Pixologic, the publisher of Zbrush, and on the same booth as Wacom.

The challenge entitled “view of a video-game's hero” and organised by the 3D community Blender Clan, has finished at the end of May. Today, Sculpteo shows the 3 winners' creations and the result of their printing.

Our R&D team is proud to present you the last improvements concerning the 3D models repair, to make them fit with a 3D printing.

Now, the repair algorithms are playing automatically when you upload your 3D file on sculpteo.com. The message "Processing your design" appears on the screen, and you have to wait a few moments.

It is not that we are planning to translate our homepage in Japanese (actually we might. Someday).

The great news is that you will be able to meet Sculpteo's and Pixologic's (Pixologic is Zbrush's publisher) team during the Japan Expo , from the 1st to the 4th of July at the Parc des Expositions (Paris Nord – Villepinte).

You will be able to witness the whole object's making, from its simple idea, through its designing on the 3D software, and to its real materialization. During these 4 days, we expect to modelize and print plenty of kawai personalized objects!

With the first days of summer, Sculpteo gets a bit of colour and goes into poetry... thanks to the new options of colouration and writing personalization on your 3D-designs. The first change: the possibility to write on any 3D-model.

Following the article on the 3D printer Eos based in the Pyrenees, you are going now to discover the ZPrinter 650 from ZCorp. This machine is located in our head office near Paris, and allows to make coloured objects, directly in the material.

We received a lot of questions on how our machines work.
We answer them today by proposing to you a first reportage from our workshop based in Arreau, in the Pyrenees. The 3D printer is the Formiga P100 from Eos, which allows to make white plastic objects.

The noodle necklace stays the emblematic gift for the Mothering Sunday. Sculpteo has decided to make a wink to this tradition, by proposing the creation of customized necklaces and bracelets to offer special jewels to all the mummies.

Since the website launch at the end of 2009, Sculpteo has always pointed the importance of repairing the Internet users 3D models.
Until now, the repair had to be asked by mail, then the repaired model was sent back to its owner.
Today, it's easier, always free, and the service is proposed directly online !

To hear the word "3D software" causes you an allergic reaction or you think that it is too hard for you ?
Don't panic !
You have also the ability to create your own customized objects and surprise your family or friends.

Since its launch 3 months ago, Sculpteo has received orders of very different objects.
To testify this diversity and share experience, we have decided to put in light regularly our clients.

The first testimonial is Cyrille Manilève's one, member of the association Memorial Flight.

Your friends often tell you that you have a gift for 3D design?
No more hesitation : come on sculpteo.com to make your talent profitable, by opening your 3D models shop online.

Some steps must be followed, and then you will get fortune, fame and beauty... at least fortune.
