Dassault Systemes' 3DVIA and Sculpteo Partner

By DE Editors

Dassault Systemes has announced that the 260,000+ users of its 3DVIA.com community can now order online 3D-printed versions of their 3DVIA-hosted models through the 3D printing Web service, Sculpteo.

Users can click the “Send to Sculpteo 3D Print” button on their own 3DVIA model’s view page, specify the size they wish to print and choose a white, black or full-color print option. Final printed models are shipped directly to users. During the online printing process, 3D models are automatically analyzed to ensure the best results. Digital repair and optimization are one of the features provided through Dassault Systemes and Sculpteo’s partnership.

“We are very excited to serve the 3DVIA community with Sculpteo's technology by offering a new and seamless service to transform files into real objects,” says Cl ©ment Moreau, CEO and co-founder of Sculpteo.com. “This new alliance contributes to the ineluctable democratization of 3D.”

3DVIA.com is an open platform accepting most 3D files, including CAD and other standard formats (OBJ, DAE, 3DXML, STEP and IGES). The 3DVIA platform is connected with other Dassault Systemes solutions, such as CATIA and SolidWorks, which already include a Publish to 3DVIA function (starting with CATIA Version 6 and SolidWorks 2009).
