Founded in 2021 by former Honda and NVIDIA designer Jordan Taylor and CTO Kaelan Richards, it is built for industrial, automotive, footwear and consumer-product designers who want to move from idea to visualization without leaving one tool. The company preserves original line work, proportions and intent while layering on materials, lighting and depth - positioning itself as the 'Figma for the physical world.' Backed by $52M in venture funding and used by more than 700,000 designers and 150+ companies including Ford, New Balance, Dell and Estee Lauder.
