Top 3D Technology Startups in 2027

Luma's mission is to enable everyone to capture and experience the world in lifelike 3D. We are building world's best neural capture and rendering system that makes photorealistic 3D capture from casually captured smartphone photos a reality. Our first target verticals are high-end e-commerce, real-estate, and 3D games industry.

We have recently taken on a 3D modelling long-term Modelling & Simulation project focused on developing commercial-grade hard-surface vehicle assets for professional visualisation and digital production. The project involves creating highly detailed, technically accurate 3D vehicle models from reference material, with a strong focus on clean topology, accurate proportions, surface definition and production-ready geometry. Using Blender and established 3D asset-development workflows, the project encompasses the full modelling pipeline, including hard-surface modelling, UV unwrapping, material and texture development, lighting, rendering and final asset preparation. Our objective is to deliver high-quality, commercially viable 3D assets that meet professional standards for visual accuracy, technical consistency and presentation, while maintaining an efficient and scalable production workflow.

Real to sim — our automated stack turns prompts, images, and CAD models into visually and physically accurate, sim-ready assets and scenes, so simulation decisions match what actually happens on the floor. Sim to real — generate unlimited asset and scene variants, expand training policies, and evaluate out-of-distribution cases that are hard or unsafe to reproduce in the real world. Palatial works where you already do: an Isaac Sim plugin, MCP integrations for Codex and Claude Code, and a web dashboard — with output for Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, and Newton. Every asset ships sim-ready: precision geometry, physics-solver-friendly topology, PBR materials, accurate mass/inertia/friction, and articulated joints.

InBolt is developing a state of the art tracking technology based on computer vision. Our first application is for the tracking of hand-held tools (drills, torque wrenches, etc.) in the industry (space, aerospace, rail and automotive) to guarantee the quality of manual operations in real time. We are a young startup of 4 (3 founders and a software engineer). We are incubated at Agoranov in Paris and HAX (the world's best hardware accelerator) in Shenzhen. We work with the top space companies and we are in discussions with dozens of industrials in aerospace, rail, automotive and oil&gas like Airbus, Safran, ArianeGroup, SKF, KUKA, Liebherr, etc. We are currently experiencing great traction and want to strongly accelerate the technological developments.

Aucust Inc. is building the connected ecosystem for automotive protection, customisation, design, and service operations. We bring together physical automotive services with digital infrastructure — helping garages, installers, brands, and customers operate smarter through one integrated platform. Our ecosystem includes: • Pro Shield Films — premium paint protection films for automotive, marine, and aviation, supporting professional installers and DIY markets. • Studio24 — a design-led marketplace for wraps, color PPF, detailing, and personalisation, connecting customers with verified service bays. • VinylGraph — a creative platform for custom decals, wrap graphics, and visual automotive designs, enabling unique personalisation at scale. • JobCard — an operating system for garages, powering bookings, job cards, payments, workflows, and customer management. Together, these products deliver one seamless automotive journey — from protection and visual customisation to backend service operations.

We build robotic arms. Custom-built robotic arms are already in use on the International Space Station and on planetary rovers. Our goal is to provide robotic arms that can be adapted for any space mission— from lunar surface missions to free-flying satellite missions. Robotic arms may be attached to lunar landers and rovers to enable a range of activities, including drilling, prospecting, instrument pointing, mobility, and cargo management. Made In Space Europe also provides robotic arms for orbital and free-flying missions, to support and enable activities such as satellite servicing and refueling, in-space manufacturing, debris capture, payload management, and more.

The solar industry has grown significantly over the last 10 years; however, it still suffers from a very manual, inefficient value chain. Scanifly has created a drone-based software for solar installers that uses drone imagery and AI to automate the development and maintenance process. The software reduces surveying and design time by 90% and centralizes everything on one platform, while enhancing system accuracy and worker safety. Currently, customers can upload drone imagery, design all in 3D, and export site specs, customer proposals, shading reports and CAD layouts.
