Nextech AR Solutions Corp. said it has received an initial order and signed a partnership agreement with B2B technology platform and marketplace DesignerInc.
The deal will leverage Nextech’s ARitize CAD 3D modeling solution for furniture manufacturers, creating 3D models at scale from CAD files.
Nextech said the B2B partnership represents a substantial MRR (monthly recurring revenue) opportunity as the company leverages its ground-breaking ARitize CAD solution and virtual showroom ARitize Decorator to DesignerInc’s network of over 1,500 furniture manufacturers, representing a potential demand for hundreds of thousands of 3D models.

DesignerInc serves the B2B interior design industry, offering a single destination where designers source custom and stock trade furniture and decor, obtain quotes and purchase from over 1,500 trade-only manufacturers.
Through the new partnership, Nextech said it will reach DesignerInc’s broad network of 1,500 trade furniture manufacturers, offering 3D models, AR visualizations, and Nextech's innovative ARitize Decorator for use across the design industry landscape.
Beyond 3D models, Nextech’s innovative ARitize Decorator technology showcases 3D models in a virtual showroom for DesignerInc’s top vendors. This virtual showroom technology optimizes the sale of furniture products and offers DesignerInc’s vendor partners the opportunity to work directly with Nextech for 3D/AR models and online commerce studio products including -- configurator, virtual staging environments, and even 3D swirl ads on Facebook and SNAP.
“Our alliance with Nextech complements DesignerInc’s future-ready approach, supporting the long-term strategies of our Gilded Circle Vendor Partners by delivering 3D AR models and virtual showroom environments, at scale,” said Marisa Terrizzi, DesignerInc’s chief strategy officer, in a statement.

With the launch of DI Pro Project Management in Q2, we are offering our Gilded Circle community of designers a suite of much-needed tools to close the sales loop quickly through realtime, visual interaction with their clientele.”
Evan Gappelberg, Nextech CEO, added: "We believe this deal has potential to substantially grow our 3D modelling business and impact our MRR revenue, as it will provide direct access to DesignerInc’s network of over 1,500 manufacturers/ We are experiencing a rapidly growing global demand for 3D/AR models, and with partnership deals like this we are solidifying our company as we strive towards our ambitious goal of becoming the world’s leading 3D modelling factory.”
Nextech said it has been seeing strong, growing demand from multiple market sectors including e-commerce businesses looking to create 3D models at scale, and manufacturers requiring the same by turning CAD files into POLY files.
The company has reported that demand has been rapidly increasing and announced that it has been signing multiple ARitize CAD deals since the start of 2022.
