Reference Studio in Digital Engineering Operations Division (2D/3D Acquisition & Production)  •  Consulting Division (P.M.A., Expertise, Audit)

Technological Excellence
Driving the Digital Revolution

Founded and directed by Lionel Guichard, Studio GUICHARD established itself from the outset as a pioneering force in the digitization and enhancement of cultural, heritage, and industrial assets. For over 25 years, our teams have been designing, structuring, and deploying acquisition protocols to the highest scientific standards. We operate in diverse contexts, whether as a technological partner within projects led by major industry players, or through direct contracts awarded to the Studio. These contributions have left their mark on exceptional sites and innovative projects requiring extreme precision.

Our work is at the heart of major global achievements, such as the digital twins and facsimiles of the Lascaux and Chauvet caves, as well as virtual reality innovations by Dassault Systèmes.

Our ecosystem revolves around specialized departments, organized around a dual independent and complementary vocation:

1. Engineering & Data Production

Deployment of cutting-edge protocols in the field to produce custom scientific imagery and digital twins, meeting the highest industry standards.

2. Strategic Consulting & P.M.A.

Guidance, management, mission direction, expertise, and audits aimed at framing, securing, and optimizing the projects for which you provide project management.

Our structure is organized into complementary centers of expertise, combining historical know-how and cutting-edge technologies to meet the challenges of preservation, research, industry, and creation. This organization guarantees complete mastery of the digital value chain, from 3D surveying to advanced modeling, including data analysis and dissemination.

HD Photogrammetry
Scientific Colorimetry

The historical core of the Studio. We act as an essential link in your production chain by providing 3D and 2D surveys of absolute exactness.

Ultra-precision as the standard. With sub-millimeter resolution and strictly calibrated colorimetry, our digital twins guarantee perfect visual and metric fidelity. Today, our expertise stands as the gold standard for securing projects for the most demanding clients, from world heritage to advanced engineering.

Applications: Data for facsimiles (e.g., Lascaux 4, Chauvet Cave), high-definition condition reports (ACMH), security archiving, premium museographic imagery.

Scientific Imaging
R&D

Our research division deploys proprietary multispectral imaging technology. By exploring spectrums invisible to the naked eye, we transform photographic surveys into true scientific investigation tools.

Designers of our own technologies. To meet the most extreme challenges, our R&D continuously develops novel solutions. From custom hardware prototypes to our exclusive OMNIS 3D software suite, we master 100% of the engineering chain. This synergy allows us to push the boundaries of analysis and precision, whatever your field of intervention.

Applications: Revelation of invisible traces, analysis of sanitary alterations, diagnostics.

Advanced 3D Engineering
Metrology

Pioneers of the digital clone, we model the most complex structures with absolute scientific rigor. This center of excellence relies on more than 25 years of historic collaboration between Studio GUICHARD and José PERAL (Togne Solutions).

Former technical project manager for international leaders (Perazio Engineering, Sixense – VINCI), José PERAL has led benchmark missions: Chauvet Cave, Lascaux Cave, nuclear facilities, and international civil engineering projects. On many of these critical operations, Studio GUICHARD's engineering was already mobilized in the initial phases.

Today, this unique synergy merges lasergrammetry, photogrammetry, proprietary processes, and patented technologies. It guarantees reference chromatic and geometric completeness, establishing our legitimacy on large-scale missions and the most sensitive sites.

Applications: Creation of digital twins for heritage or industry, structural surveys, BIM/HBIM modeling, metrology.

Strategic Consulting
Expertise
P.M.A.

Drawing on our experience with UNESCO-listed sites and in the industrial sector, we support clients far beyond basic scoping.


Technical and strategic support. Whether in the preparation phase, for long-term project monitoring, or one-off expertise, we secure your decision-making. We analyze your projects in depth, conduct precise audits, draft tailor-made specifications, and provide scientific direction as well as quality control. The goal: to guarantee the success of your operations with complete peace of mind.

Applications: PMA (Project Management Assistance), 2D/3D technical audits, expertise, strategic consulting, mission direction.

Strategic Evolution

Traditional Photography

A reference photo studio in the Cévennes for over 20 years

In line with our development — our core business, historically centered on 3D engineering — we are evolving our organization with the closure of our traditional photography department.

After more than 25 years by your side, we extend our sincere thanks to all our clients and partners for their trust and the quality of the collaborations over the years.

This evolution confirms our strategic positioning, allowing us to intensify our research and development and accelerate our innovations in 3D engineering, serving increasingly demanding projects, in France and internationally.

Following up on ongoing projects remains, of course, our priority.
