Technology & Products
Key Products
3DF Zephyr (flagship photogrammetry software); FlowEngine SDK (customizable computer vision components); 3D Reconstruction Services (consulting)
Technological Advantage
Proprietary, fully-developed computer vision pipeline creates switching costs—customers dependent on algorithm quality and speed. 15-year R&D moat protects against commoditization. Integration into major VFX and gaming productions creates network effects and reference-customer lock-in. Patent protection for key reconstruction algorithms (defensible).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces 3D model acquisition time from weeks (manual CAD) to hours (photogrammetry); provides 100% in-house developed algorithms enabling 99.7%+ reconstruction accuracy; supports both small-scale precision parts and large-scale industrial objects.
How They Differentiate
3DF Zephyr delivers superior reconstruction accuracy and speed vs. competitors through proprietary in-house algorithms; stronger in gaming/VFX integration; better suited for small precision parts and manufacturing QC than cloud-centric competitors.
