About
Volustor is a volumetric asset management platform born from the front lines of 3D scanning in film, TV, games and beyond.
introduction
What is scanning
3D scanning is the process of turning something real; a set, prop, person, place, or product into a three-dimensional digital version you can experience spatially, as well as measure, view, share and reuse. It can be captured with photogrammetry, LiDAR, structured light, time-of-flight depth, radiance-field techniques, or a mix of methods.
What used to be a niche craft is now something most people have brushed up against whether through a phone scan, a 3D product view online, game worlds built from scanned detail, or the films and series they watch (which increasingly rely on scans behind the scenes).
prime to scale
What it is used for
It’s becoming a standard tool across media and industry because it creates a faithful digital reference of reality bringing the authenticity of real objects and places into the efficiency of modern digital workflows. In film and TV, scanning supports everything from pre-production planning through to VFX, virtual production, continuity, marketing, and archive.
In games, scanned surfaces and props help ground worlds in realism at scale. In commerce, 3D assets increasingly sit alongside photography as a more engaging, more faithful way to experience products and can help customers feel more certain about what they’re buying. In architecture, engineering and surveying, scans act as a living canvas: a reliable snapshot of a site or structure that teams can measure from, design against, track progress over time, and revisit without needing to be there.
unique advantage
Why us
The raw capture is the master copy of a scan; everything else is just a version of it. Volustor is built around that premise, making scanning easier from capture through to delivery, while keeping the master protected, organised, and ready. On top of that foundation, we use intelligent tagging, segmentation and AI search to make large scan libraries genuinely navigable so teams can find, understand and reuse what they already have.
We also bring automated processing close to your data in a secure environment, lowering the cost of handling scans at scale and letting you generate what you need now. And because our team is constantly integrating the latest techniques, your existing captures stay compatible with what comes next without starting again.
our team
Who we are
Volustor is built by a team that combines frontline scanning expertise, standards leadership, and enterprise grade SaaS delivery. Richard Adams leads the platform as CTO, bringing deep experience building and scaling production-grade software keeping Volustor not just technically sharp, but robust, secure, and scalable as adoption grows.
Our Chair, Richard Welsh (President of SMPTE), helps steer the standards and industry change needed as volumetric work becomes commonplace. Joe Steel and Ross Dannmayr are also co-founders of Visualskies Ltd and bring deep, hands-on experience delivering high-end scans for major projects and motion picture productions, keeping Volustor grounded in what actually happens on set, on location, and under real-world time pressure.
Volustor is led by founder and CEO Callum Reid, with nearly two decades at the frontline of volumetric media bridging R&D, production and strategy to keep cutting-edge techniques close to the data and easy to adopt.
