In just a few minutes, Spare Parts 3D (SP3D) transforms a technical drawing into a 3D plan suitable for additive manufacturing.
This start-up specializing in the digitalization of spare parts, founded in 2016 and located in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), has developed a technological building block called Théia, in partnership with the University Laboratory for Research in Automated Production at ENS Paris-Saclay. It relies on neural networks and computer vision to understand and analyze the technical elements (dimensions, geometric representation and tolerances) of a part.
After two years of research, SP3D is capable, according to Paul Guillaumot, its founder, of transforming a large number of technical drawings into 3D plans ready to print. The manager therefore launched a call for applications in March to improve the software by working for a year on concrete industrial cases. A month later, some 700 companies in various fields had expressed their interest.
