HP partners with Structure for 3D scanning SDK integration in Additive Manufacturing solutions
February 4, 2025

Structure, a developer of 3D scanning systems and software based in Boulder, Colorado, USA, has signed a software licensing agreement with HP Inc. Under the agreement, HP will offer the AI-powered Structure Software Development Kit (SDK) to provide 3D scanning application development services tailored to the needs of its Additive Manufacturing clients.
The agreement is said to be part of HP’s initiative to provide end-to-end 3D scanning and Additive Manufacturing services to its clients, accelerating adoption across diverse applications.
“Our agreement with Structure provides our clients with access to the industry’s leading 3D scanning software development tools and is an important step in enabling companies to maximise our technology,” said Pierre Kaiser, Head of 3D Design for HP. “This is the perfect blend of Structure’s 3D scanning and imaging expertise combined with HP’s global 3D printing leadership. The winners will be our clients, who now have access to the industry’s leading app development technology to move their 3D printing vision forward.”
Structure, launched as a spin-off from Occipital in 2022, provides 3D scanning technology through its Structure 3 scanner and Structure Capture iOS mobile application. The latter enables mobile, highly accurate 2D scanning through iPads and iPhones.
“HP continues to lead the industry in empowering its customers to develop cutting edge 3D printing solutions. We look forward to supporting HP in this effort by providing access to our Structure Software Development Kit,” said Ravi Shah, CEO of Structure. “The SDK platform gives developers access to easy-to-use software tools to create new and innovative 3D scanning applications. Enabling the creativity of today’s 3D printing developers will have long-term positive impact on patient outcomes throughout the global healthcare industry.”
