A FIRM developing revolutionary 3D scanning solutions has become the first company to move into a new Oxford Science Park development.

The £13m Schrodinger Building has created more high-tech office space in the city in a bid to encourage businesses to move to the area.

Fuel3D, developing 3D scanning images for a variety of industries, is the first occupier and will relocate its UK headquarters to Littlemore in June.

Founded in 2005, as an Oxford University spin out, the company has used its technology in security and retail but most notably healthcare - launching a tumour scanning and measurement system.

The park's managing director, Pier Scrimshaw-Wright, said: "With its exciting technology, which has the potential to revolutionise thinking across a wide range of industries, Fuel3D is a superb inaugural occupier for The Schrodinger Building.

"We have got to know the senior leadership team well, and very much look forward to Fuel3D adding to the congregation of our increasingly rich and diverse commercial eco-system."

CEO at Fuel3D, George Thaw, said: "We are really excited to be moving to The Oxford Science Park in June.

"It’s such a hot bed of activity and the perfect location for us as we grow the business.

"Being part of this world-renowned community for innovation, creativity and collaboration will help us to access new talent and build new partnerships to take the business forwards."
