Technology & Products

Key Products

C3D Scanner (128-camera photogrammetry system); PolyJet 3D printing services; 3D scanning services; CAD design services; Rapid prototyping; 3D/4D data capture; Capture system lease

Technological Advantage

Custom-built photogrammetry hardware (C3D Scanner) achieves unmatched precision for digital human captures; PolyJet printing at 600 dpi with 28-micron accuracy enables high-detail prototypes.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Offers end-to-end 3D scanning and printing solutions with proprietary 128-camera photogrammetry systems for high-resolution digital doubles and rapid prototyping, reducing time-to-prototype from weeks to days.

How They Differentiate

Unlike general 3D printing services, Corbel 3D specializes in high-end photogrammetry-based scanning for digital doubles and VFX applications, offering proprietary hardware (C3D Scanner) not available from competitors focused solely on printing.

Why this company matters

Corbel 3D occupies a niche between high-end 3D scanning for visual effects and rapid prototyping via PolyJet printing. Its proprietary C3D Scanner, a 128-camera photogrammetry system, captures photo-realistic digital doubles and 4D data for film and gaming, while its printing services deliver prototypes at 600 dpi with 28-micron accuracy. This end-to-end workflow reduces time-to-prototype from weeks to days, a value proposition that appeals to architects, engineers, and VFX producers.

The company serves verticals including film and entertainment, architecture, engineering, gaming, and industrial design. Notable clients include Oppo and Meta, and a 2018 partnership with Discovery Channel involved scanning the Canadian Rockies. Corbel 3D also leases its capture system and operates a Beijing office for capture operations, extending its reach beyond its Vancouver base.

Its primary differentiation lies in the custom-built C3D Scanner hardware, which competitors focused solely on printing do not offer. However, with a team of 1-10 and limited geographic footprint, Corbel 3D remains a boutique player. The $6.7M in total funding suggests modest scale, and the lack of public growth metrics raises questions about its ability to compete with larger scanning and printing service bureaus.
