Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (CSE:NTAR, OTCQB:NEXCF) has said it plans to pursue a direct spinout of its Toggle3D design studio SaaS Software platform through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company.
The transaction is currently anticipated to proceed by way of a plan of arrangement under which the Toggle3D and associated assets will be spun out into a new Subco, but will be subject to final tax and legal structuring considerations.
Nextech shareholders will receive Toggle3D (Spinco) shares distributed directly to the shareholders of Nextech on a pro-rata basis. The company said it believes that by spinning out Toggle3D it will unlock additional shareholder value, like with the recent successful spin-out structure of ARway.
The company said it plans to have similar terms and conditions for the spin-out of Toggle3D, adding that further detail of the arrangement will be disclosed shortly. Nextech successfully completed the spin-out of ARway on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) on October 26, 2022.

In a statement, Evan Gappelberg, CEO of Nextech AR commented: “The spin-out of ARway on October 26th has proven to be a tremendously successful way to unlock value for Nextech shareholders. Now we are announcing that we are going to do the same thing with Toggle 3D. We believe there is a tremendous amount of value currently trapped inside Nextech and these spin-outs are aimed at unlocking that value by listing pure-play technology companies.
"We believe that Toggle 3D is now commercially ready with a laser-focused team, and will be well received by the market. Creating value for Nextech shareholders of which I am the single largest with 10.7mill shares has always been a major focus of mine. This Toggle3D spin-out and the possibility of additional future spin-outs are intended to unlock the value of the technology that we have been heavily investing in, incubating and building inside Nextech for the last 4-years.”
He continued: “After 16 years of walking around with a smartphone in our pockets the next generation of devices is about to emerge in the form of Computer glasses. Once launched computer glasses will become the device of choice in 2023 and beyond causing everything 3D to go up in value practically overnight. We believe that a 3D spatially aware world is the next evolution of our computer-driven world. We see it becoming a major focus of investors in 2023 when Apple Computer releases a pair of computer glasses which perfectly positions, Nextech, ARway and now Toggle3D.”
High-quality 3D models and experiences
Launched in September, Toggle3D is an AR-enhanced standalone web application that enables product designers, 3D artists, marketing professionals and eCommerce site owners to create, customize and publish high-quality 3D models and experiences without any technical or 3D design knowledge required.
The company believes that Toggle3D is the first platform of its kind, and this break-through SaaS product is a potential game changer for the manufacturing and design industry, as it provides a viable solution to convert large CAD files into lightweight 3D models at affordable prices and at scale. According to BIS Research, the CAD market, quantified by the amount spent on the creation of CAD files, is projected to reach $11 billion dollars by 2023.
Since its Beta launch, Toggle3D has been successfully attracting and working with early adopters as the development of the platform continues. This early adopter group includes manufactures, production agencies, design agencies, industrial software companies and XR startups. These users are looking for a 3D modeling creation workspace for use-cases such as prototyping, design decision-making, content population in XR scenes and marketing applications.
