AI-powered, 'physically functional' 3D CAD accelerates innovation in manufacturing.
– Expect innovation in collaborative manufacturing workflows like Figma.
– The goal is to create an era where everyone can handle 3D design.
"Our goal is for 3D data to become a gateway for cross-industry collaboration, not just for simple visualization. At Ndotlight, we aim to make it easy for anyone involved in the 3D field to use."
AI -generated 'moving' CAD data – 3D CAD product design automation solution 'TRINIX'
Ndotlight's core technology, TRINIX, uses AI to generate physically operable 3D computer-aided design (CAD) models based on user commands. Beyond simple 3D images, it reflects the hierarchical structure and physical properties of components, creating data that can be directly applied to actual manufacturing.
Traditional 3D development typically involves purchasing expensive commercial 3D modeling engines, then integrating UIs and frameworks to ultimately develop CAD software. Ndotlight, however, addressed the persistent problem of "inefficient design processes" in the manufacturing industry and developed its own proprietary 3D modeling engine.
However, although CAD data is suitable for AI learning, it has limitations in that the creation process is complex and difficult to automate.
CEO Park Jin-young stated, "We discovered that the manufacturing market, which has been stagnant for approximately 100 years, needs a digital transformation. To address this, we developed TRINIX, a solution that automates the CAD-based product design process, leveraging AI to generate '3D CAD draft design files' through text and image prompts, along with a commercial 3D modeling engine that we've been developing for eight years."
Web-based 3D 'Figma for the Manufacturing Industry' – 3D Collaboration Solution 'Surfee'
If 'TRINIX' is a CAD design automation tool, 'Surfee' is a 3D collaboration platform that allows multiple users, including engineers, designers, and developers, to collaborate in real time based on designed 3D files.
CEO Park emphasized, "Just as Figma enabled real-time collaboration in a web environment for 2D UI/UX design, significantly improving the overall design process and collaboration efficiency, 'Surphy' plays a similar role in 3D CAD modeling. Engineers and designers can collaborate on 3D CAD draft models created with 'TRINIX' and receive real-time feedback online, dramatically improving the efficiency of the 3D product development process."
'Surfee' dramatically reduces the accessibility of 3D design and provides an environment where anyone can easily and quickly handle and share 3D content without 3D expertise.
Just as Adobe Photoshop revolutionized images and Figma revolutionized UI/UX design, this revolution is now beginning in the field of 3D design.
Partnerships for Industrial Sites and Global Expansion
Ndotlight's technological prowess has already been proven through collaborations with leading global partners. It maximizes AI learning and manufacturing automation performance, and its 3D synthetic data set generation technology was showcased at the NVIDIA GTC 2025 poster session, drawing considerable admiration from industry experts.
CEO Park stated that Ndotlight's technology is "essential to various industrial fields such as smart factories, robot simulation, and acceleration of product design and prototyping," and expressed his vision, saying, "Our goal is to provide the core infrastructure for the era of 'intelligent manufacturing' where AI will have autonomy throughout the entire process from manufacturing design to production and maintenance."
'Ndotlight' is conducting design automation projects with major domestic corporations, and is expanding its business area to Physical AI in the robotics field through selection as a member of the K-Humanoid Alliance and a business agreement with Holiday Robotics.
Towards the popularization of 3D technology
CEO Park expressed confidence that 3D technology will be utilized across diverse industries in the future. "I believe 3D design needs to move beyond the exclusive domain of experts and become a daily tool for all workers in all industries. Once that becomes possible, the manufacturing industry will accelerate significantly," he said.
Ndotlight's goal is to enhance the competitiveness of the future manufacturing industry through data-driven design automation, lower the technological barrier, and usher in an era where 3D design can be more easily utilized anywhere in the world. Ndotlight envisions a future where high-quality 3D data generation enhances AI learning efficiency and accelerates innovation across the entire manufacturing process.
We were able to hear more in-depth stories from Ndotlight and CEO Jinyoung Park about the specific blueprint for the AI manufacturing environment they will present and their growth strategy for the global market. We anticipate Ndotlight will be able to achieve its bold vision of popularizing 3D content and making all industries intelligent.
