HP Acquires David Vision Systems GmbH and David 3D Solutions

HP today announced that it is accelerating its leadership in next-generation computing by acquiring the innovative 3D hardware and software assets of David Vision Systems GmbH and David 3D Solutions, based in Germany. 

David is an outstanding technology leader in 3D scanning and an essential enabler for Sprout. The acquisition provides HP with exciting technology to continue to evolve Sprout 3D and advance its market opportunities in both Immersive Computing and the $7 billion 3D scanning market. 

Adding the David companies’ technology and capability strengthens our ability to create the world’s only end-to-end 3D ecosystem, from creation, to 3D on-ramp, to 3D print off-ramp via HP’s Jet Fusion Solution. The acquisition adds a robust, stable and production-ready solution, along with a rich software development platform to HP’s portfolio of technologies. 

HP will acquire David’s preeminent scanning, stitching and fusing solution that results in radical improvements in scan quality. David provides industry-leading 3D scanning technology and solutions with scan algorithms and automated calibration methods. This is an essential ingredient to seamlessly blend the physical and virtual worlds, and a core value proposition of Sprout, through which HP will reach a broad range of industry segments, including education, healthcare, design and research. 

Together, HP will exceed the expectations of customers by building on David’s proven 3D scanning technology and solutions to continue evolving Sprout 3D Capture and its entire 3D ecosystem. 

The acquisition will help HP accelerate the availability of desktop and other best-in-class scanning products to a wide range of customers. Specifically, the acquisition allows HP to evolve its Sprout 3D Capture and Immersive Computing portfolio and pave the way for David’s preeminent 3D scanning solutions to serve as an onramp component for 3D printing.

As part of the deal, HP will also acquire the David team, which brings deep technical and business 3D experience with it. Terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.
