Mindesk provides a platform for modeling CAD in VR/AR that allows users to create and modify tridimensional objects in real time. The platform is available as plug‑ins for McNeel Rhinoceros, Grasshopper and Dassault SolidWorks and is mainly used in engineering, the naval industry and the creative arts. The company recently introduced a Rhino plug‑in with Unreal Editor, developed in partnership with Epic Games, to add photorealism to CAD 3D modeling for AEC use cases. Founded in 2015 and led by CEO Gabriele Sorrento, Mindesk is headquartered in Bari and has opened an office in San Francisco after completing Vive X, HTC Vive’s AR/VR accelerator. The company says it will continue to develop software in both Italy and the USA and use the new funding to expand operations and development efforts. Mindesk develops a virtual reality-powered immersive 3D CAD modelling interface aimed at architects, engineers and designers. Its platform lets users connect modeling projects in the third dimension, edit them in virtual reality mode, and collaborate in real time. The company is based in Bari, Italy, and also maintains an office in San Francisco. Mindesk was co-founded by Gabriele Sorrento, Sergio Giorgio and Vittorio Bava. It has been selected to participate in HTC’s Vive X acceleration program and has attracted interest from Microsoft, Samsung and Facebook. The company raised €670K to continue development of the technology, implement further CAD solutions, and support mass production and distribution efforts.
