CASE STUDIES: Pro.Sculpteo.com was selected to produce the first 3D-printed models for the Withings Baby Monitor and the model for renowned Architects Roubert Ravaux Clément and Svenn. The technology met the designers’ requirements in terms of fine details, and is a key element in the fast-changing field of rapid prototyping.
The first production of Withings’ Baby Monitor– designed by Elium Studio – was honoured with 2 CES Innovation Awards at this years Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas. Also another award that was received in Europe was a star from l’Observeur du Design 2011, the Lieu du Design award for the Paris Region. Pierre Garner, Elium Studio associate designer, explains: “On screen, a 3D model can only simulate reality; 3D manufacturing allows us to actually handle our designs and offers a unique way to verify their volumes.”
Similarly, by using Pro.Sculpteo.com to produce the model for its projects, architecture firms Roubert Ravaux Clément and Svenn, along with architect Benoit Vanneste, placed first out of the 84 teams who entered the “Sustainable and Socially-Inclusive Housing” competition. The competition was organized by the ALJT (Young Workers Housing Association) and the OSICA Social Enterprise for Housing. “Our partnership with Sculpteo.com was extremely fruitful and actually helped to develop the methodology used to produce large-scale models,” said (Alberto Rochat from Svenn Architects).
