Alpha3D, the Estonian AI technology startup, that is transforming the global 3D content creation landscape with its AI platform that automates the traditionally time consuming process of manual 3D asset creation, plans to enter the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Founded in 2018 by entrepreneurs Madis Alesmaa and Rait-Eino Laarmann, who have collaborated for over a decade and previously led four successful exits, Alpha3D is set to change the way industries approach 3D modeling and asset generation.
With a clear vision to reduce the inefficiencies in building immersive augmented reality (AR), 3D and gaming apps, the company launched its AI-powered platform in 2023. The platform enables users to generate 3D models from 2D images or text, drastically cutting down the time and cost associated with manual 3D asset creation.
Today, Alpha3D boasts half a million registered users worldwide and partners with global giants such as Nvidia, Google, and Farfetch.
“Our mission from the start has been to simplify the 3D content creation process. By integrating AI, we are allowing creators, developers, and businesses to focus more on creativity and less on labor-intensive manual work. The growth we’ve seen with users and partners speaks volumes about the need for innovation in this space.” said Madis Alesmaa, co-founder and CEO of Alpha3D.
