Chouette, a French startup, used Sculpteo 3D printing service to develop machine-mounted sensors for a system that can analyze a plant\u2019s condition on a leaf-by-leaf basis. As the farm machine goes down the rows of grapevines, the sensor\u2019s synthetic vision, coupled with AI trained on agronomic models, can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Shoot the plant with an exact dose of whatever is needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Detect withered or otherwise unproductive vines or branches so they can be culled.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Used throughout the growing season, the system can detect if a vine is slow to grow or bear fruit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Detect a variety of blights that grapevines are subject to before they spread.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    L\u00e9o Chassery, embedded systems engineer at Chouette, explains: \u201c3D printing enabled us to design and mass-produce a custom model in record time, which is\u00a0 essential if we don\u2019t want to miss the start of the wine-growing season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chouette is a French startup established in 2015. The company\u2019s precision viticulture solution is in use at over 100 vineyards covering over 30,000 hectares. The company secured \u20ac5 million Series A funding in February to expand into more of France and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Paris-based Sculpteo offers a 3D printing service that lets users upload their design files (in native format), creates the part or parts in their U.S. or French facilities, and then ship the finished part or parts to the customer. In addition to this push-button service, Sculpteo offers Design Studio that lets businesses integrate additive manufacturing into their product development and production systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    BASF acquired Sculpteo in November 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
