Also, the company has surpassed over 37,700 3-D models delivered to its customers in various e-commerce industries and sees significant growth potential ahead as hundreds of millions of products go 3-D as merchants are pivoting from 2-D flat photos to 3-D experiences in the e-commerce marketplace.

Nextech is making it possible to create photorealistic 3-D models as digital replicas of real-world products at scale for large enterprise customers in the global $5.5-trillion e-commerce market.

We continue to sign new deals, as we are redefining the shopping experience, bridging the gap between the physical and digital. Our advanced AI-powered 3-D modelling technology enables e-commerce businesses to showcase their products in immersive 3-D, providing valuable ROI to our customers with increased conversions and decreased returns. The massive global e-commerce ecosystem is pivoting from 2-D photos to 3-D models, and we strongly believe that we are only at the beginning of a megatrend opportunity, as Amazon alone has 300 million products that need to go 3-D.
