DGG raises €4m to make real-time 3D tech scalable
DGG raises €4m to make real-time 3D tech scalable
The round is led by European VC IRIS alongside existing investors RenderedVC, FTTF, 3VC, as well as Business Angels Charlie Songhurst and Chris Schagen.
DGG is a deep tech company builtover 8 years of research at the world-famous Fraunhofer institute (creator ofthe MP3 format) where co-founders Max Limper, Miguel Sousa, Julian-AlexanderNeagu, Sebastian Wagner and Felix Limper originally met. They first launchedRapidCompact, a unique technology that helps the global developer community automaticallycreate optimized 3D assets for eCommerce and beyond. The startup is currentlyextending its products line and offers a platform for technology partners, aswell as dedicated integrations for large enterprise clients.
The central problem in real-time 3D & XR applications is the lack ofproperly formatted 3D content: while 3D display tech (hardware and software) iswell developed, the creation and optimization of 3D content for different kindsof interactive experiences is still a manual process. The RapidCompact softwareand API allow eCommerce clients and platform partners to integrate the techinto their backend infrastructure so that their merchants can automaticallyupload 3D models of their products whatever their size, complexity, or format, bymaking many thousands of 3D models accessible to all kinds of real-time 3D andXR applications, within a few hours.
“What might sound complicated is actually really simple for ourusers: our technology allows them to create and display 3D models just the wayYouTube allows content creators to upload their content with a drag-and-dropfeature. Our ultimate goal is to make 3D technology accessible to all retailersand products creators through an API with the essential building blocks, andthis new funding will help us boost our growth and R&D”, Max Limper,DGG’s Co-Founder and CEO
DGG is already serving several leading retailers worldwide, includingAdidas, Crate & Barrel, and Otto Group, as well as key eCommerce platformpartners, such as Shopify and Adobe. With its unique focus on automation, DGG’sRapidCompact solution has already created more than two million optimized 3Dmodels during the past two years.
Thorben Rothe, Partner at IRIS, adds: “We see great potential in DGG and how they make 3D content easily accessible and scalable to the retail industry andbeyond. Theirtechnology represents anessential building block for successful 3Dinfrastructuresas their experienced team is developing many product enhancements that fulfil its mission, making 3Daccessible to all and we are pleased to support DGG in this endeavour“
The DGG team is also working on a new product that automaticallyconverts “offline” CGI assets to real-time 3D formats, which will be presentedat the SIGGRAPH conference in Los Angeles this August. This specific challengeis currently blocking the broader adoption of 3D technology within the retail industryand helping retailers address and scale 3D content creation for XR will be amajor step in digital retail.
