The french press is talking about Sculpteo and Sony

Since Sculpteo is a french company, french media immediately talked about this news. The media provided its readers with useful information about the technicalities of how the 3D creator application and the 3D printing service are connected, as well as the quality of the prints that Sculpteo provides.

Among the french media coverage (labo.fnac.com, realite-virtuelle.com and kulturegeek.fr) some of the most honoring applauses included comments as the following:

“Note that Sculpteo printers can print an object with several different colors. This fully integrated solution (from 3D scanning to 3D printing and printing payment) is an innovation on a smartphone, and prefigures mobile services that until recently would have been considered totally futuristic (3D scan, AR, etc.)”, was said on kulturegeek.fr

Sculpteo and Sony being mentioned in Spanish press

Spanish press talked a lot about Sculpteo’s service through the new Sony Xperia XZ1 mobile phone. The fact that was mainly pointed out through the media todotech.com and elandroidelibre.elespanol.com, was the ease of the 3D creator application. All the procedure, from the 3D scan of the face or object, to its 3D print and payment, are all managed through the application, without the need of accessing a computer: thing that seems to be very evaluated.

 

“The software of Xperia XZ1 is capable of allowing the editing of the 3D scans, but it was thought that to print them, you should send the file to a computer. However it will not be necessary, since it will come with a pre-installed program on the mobile and that will send the scan directly to the online service of Sculpteo.”, todotech.com mentioned
