Spotscale (private company)

Spotscale is all about making drone imagery into 3D buildings. If you’re a drone operator we help you deliver beautiful 3D models to your customers in our cloud service. If you just want a 3D model of a building in highest possible quality we can take care of subcontracting the drone capture through our network of skilled pilots.

Spotscale was born in 2012, just as large multirotor drones were getting more accessible and we felt that the timing was right. Coming from complementing backgrounds in drones, 3D recon- struction, and large scale visualization we had a feeling from the beginning that the quad-copter would be the perfect device to capture buildings from a close distance. So we created a demo and gained huge traction.

Since then, Ludvig Emgård has gathered a group of highly skilled engineers that have been working hard to bring the latest re- search into a novel, modern code-base of 3D reconstruction processing and visualization tools, tailored to execute on built environments from close range sensor data

Prior to this journey Ludvig was heading products at C3 technologies, mapping cities in 3D from aeroplanes.

Spotscale formally came to life and was incubated in January 2013 in the top ranked Swedish incubator. After two years of bootstrapping, the team is funded by MOOR (VC), Erik Byrenius and Magnus Malm (angels). Moving forward, the team will continue to evolve around the 3D cloud solution and keep on riding on the trends for VR, Machine vision, drones, sensors and 3D printing.
