What prounion - 3d solutions does

PROUNION a.s., operating under the brand Prounion 3D Solutions, is a Slovakia-based joint-stock company founded around 2010 and headquartered in Nitra, with an operational workplace in Lučenec. The firm provides 3D and 4D laser scanning, photogrammetry, reverse design, virtual reality application development, and 3D printing services. It serves enterprise and institutional clients across five verticals: architecture/engineering/construction (AEC), industrial and manufacturing, heritage preservation and museums, film/TV/VFX/gaming, and expertise/legal. Documented project references include industrial facilities (Armacel), heritage monuments across Slovakia (Čachtice Castle, Hronský Beňadik Monastery, Topoľčianky Castle, St. George Church Kostolany pod Tribečom, Rakovo Mausoleum), international heritage (Kosmac Fortress in Montenegro), cultural venues (Zürich MAAG Concert Hall), and infrastructure (Köln Müllheim Bridge, Prague architectural documentation). Operations span Slovakia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany, and Montenegro.

The company's technology stack centers on laser scanning achieving sub-1.0 mm accuracy at a 1550 nm eye-safe frequency with two million measurements per second, photogrammetry reaching sub-0.05 mm accuracy with 32-bit texture resolution, and LIDAR integration tailored for film and television production. Outputs are compatible with AutoCAD and REVIT (BIM workflows). Supporting service lines include 3D printing up to 700×1700×700 mm, reverse engineering for CAD form creation, custom VR application development, and BIM consulting. The company's primary software product is VR Shop, a proprietary e-commerce platform enabling physics-based virtual store experiences on VR headsets and Android devices with simple 3D glasses. Technical differentiation rests on equipment specifications, BIM interoperability, and accumulated experience rather than disclosed patents or formal certifications.

Prounion operates a project-based professional services model with custom quoting per engagement and no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is consultative and inbound, relying on a website contact form, direct email, and an online portfolio gallery of completed projects to drive top-of-funnel awareness. The company offers consulting before, during, and after projects. Revenue streams span scanning services, 3D printing, VR application development, and software licensing/royalty arrangements for VR Shop. The company is privately held with no external institutional investors, leadership consists of a Financial Director (Andrej Gero) and Technical Director (Miloš Lukáč), and it received €163,452.60 in EU European Regional Development Fund (EFRD) grant funding in 2020 under Slovakia's Integrated Infrastructure Operational Programme 2014-2020 to establish the Lučenec workplace.

Core offering

PROUNION provides professional 3D scanning, photogrammetry, 3D printing, and virtual reality services for AEC, industrial, cultural heritage, and film/media clients. The company operates an end-to-end digital workflow — capturing real-world objects and environments with laser scanners (sub-1mm accuracy) and photogrammetry (sub-0.05mm accuracy), then producing physical 3D-printed replicas, BIM documentation, LIDAR-augmented assets for film, and immersive VR applications including a proprietary VR Shop e-commerce platform.

Product overview

Prounion 3D Solutions operates as a service-oriented company offering a portfolio of 3D scanning, visualization, and related technology services. The core offerings include Laser Scanning and Photogrammetry for 3D data capture, with outputs compatible with BIM workflows (AutoCAD, REVIT). The company developed VR Shop as its primary proprietary software product—a virtual reality e-commerce platform that enables businesses to sell products through immersive virtual stores with physics-based interactions. Supporting services include 3D Printing (up to 700mm x 1700mm x 700mm), Virtual Reality Application Development, and Reverse Engineering capabilities. The company also integrates LIDAR and photogrammetry for specialized applications in film, advertising, and television production.

Direct peers

• Matterport: US-based 3D spatial capture and digital twin platform serving AEC, real estate, and facility management. Comparable as a 3D scanning and visualization provider, though at much larger scale and with a software/SaaS-centric model.
• Artec 3D: Luxembourg-based 3D scanning hardware and software vendor targeting AEC, heritage, healthcare, and industrial metrology. Comparable scanning-software stack and similar European heritage/cultural market exposure.

Broad incumbents

• FARO Technologies: Global leader in 3D measurement, imaging, and realization hardware and software. Comparable on the laser scanning technology axis (Prounion's core capture stack) but operates as a broad incumbent supplying hardware, software, and services.
• Leica Geosystems (Hexagon): Part of Hexagon, offers high-end laser scanners (e.g., RTC360, BLK series) used in AEC, heritage, and industrial surveying. Directly competes for the same high-precision scanning projects Prounion serves.
• Creaform (AMETEK): Provider of portable 3D scanners and engineering services for industrial, heritage, and reverse engineering applications. Overlaps with Prounion's industrial and reverse engineering service lines at much larger scale.
• Trimble: Global surveying, geospatial, and construction technology provider with strong AEC/BIM positioning. Competes with Prounion's BIM and surveying service lines and could acquire/outsource work to similar specialty scanners.

Emerging players

• Obsess: US-based immersive commerce platform enabling brands to build VR/3D shopping experiences. Direct competitive overlap with Prounion's VR Shop product in the virtual-store e-commerce category.
• Emperia: London-based virtual store and immersive commerce platform serving retail and luxury brands. Comparable to Prounion's VR Shop product from a positioning and customer-base perspective.
• CyArk: Non-profit specializing in high-precision 3D documentation of world heritage sites. Comparable use cases and customer base (cultural heritage digitization) to Prounion's heritage documentation projects, though non-commercial.

Regional players

• ScanX3D / Geodata: European regional 3D scanning service firms (e.g., Geodata in Italy, various German/Austrian scanning bureaus) offering comparable AEC, heritage, and industrial scanning services in adjacent geographies.
