Toggle3D.ai

Overview

Computer-aided design and drafting (CAD) files are used in virtually every segment of the manufacturing industry. In many regions, organizations in both the public and private sector are required by law to leverage CAD files as part of their design process. They also have significant applications in other sectors, particularly those that leverage computer-generated imagery (CGI) such as game development, graphic design and eCommerce.

CAD files encompass nearly everything about a physical product, from technical details and specifications to materials. Unfortunately, in spite of their ubiquity, CAD files also don't translate well to other file formats or use cases.

In light of ballooning costs and emerging technology like augmented and virtual reality, companies are increasingly transitioning to 3D models in lieu of traditional product photography. Consequently, the market for 3D CGI is set to undergo significant growth over the next several years.

A groundbreaking SaaS solution, Toggle3D.ai uses generative AI to convert CAD files into 4K 3D models. Developed as a point-and-click solution that requires minimal technical knowledge, the platform empowers designers, artists, marketers and eCommerce companies to effortlessly convert, texture, customize and publish photorealistic 3D models and experiences.

How it works is deceptively simple — after ingesting any number of CAD files, the platform strips them of their heavy engineering components and turns them into a 3D mesh. From there, users can apply a range of different materials and textures with no need to worry about what's happening under the hood. As a result, models that once may have taken days to create can now be generated and refined in minutes.

The platform also features a comprehensive library of pre-made materials along with the ability to create or generate your own.

Artificial intelligence plays a considerable role in Toggle3D.ai's effectiveness, both simplifying and speeding up every stage of the design process. Crucially, it's able to do this at nearly any scale, taking in CAD files of up to 1,000 MB and reducing their size by up to 95 percent as they're converted to web-friendly 3D models. In this way, the company truly closes the gap between engineering, art and design — and provides a compelling option for organizations that want to create 3D models without the investment that typically entails.

Company Highlights

• CAD files are ubiquitous in multiple industries, including manufacturing, game development and graphic design.
• The CGI market is expected to reach $160B by 2027 and expected to continue to grow.
• A subsidiary of Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR, OTCQX:NEXCF, FSE:EP2), Toggle3D.ai is a Canadian artificial intelligence company dedicated to the development of a platform that seamlessly converts CAD files to 3D models.
• Initially, the company plans to target direct-to-consumer (D2C) manufacturers, which use CAD files to produce consumer products. Toggle3D.ai will allow these companies to create photorealistic 3D models from its engineering files.
• Because so few companies possess the expertise to develop such a complex platform, Toggle3D.ai has the potential to become the dominant supplier of 3D models for both the product design and the industrial design space.
• Toggle3D.ai's overall roadmap is highly product-driven, with plans to release new features weekly and upgrade the platform's AI monthly.
• Company leadership is actively collaborating with other companies in the generative AI sector, and in talks with several major tech companies, which have expressed interest in signing a multi-year deal, according to the company’s CEO Evan Gappelberg.
