Falmouth University's Launchpad has announced that its Amutri programme has secured a 拢492,000 grant.
Amutri specialises in simplifying the 3D Visualisation process for designers and organisations so they can save time, reduce costs and win more clients.
Following the Smart Grant award, the company鈥檚 12-month industrial research project will develop a new immersive 3D Visualisation product, which will create a first-of-its-kind low entry point, easy-to-use platform that turns Computer-aided design (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) files into ready-ready digital assets, and 3D experiences in seconds.
The grant, from Innovate 海角视频, is awarded to businesses that deliver ambitious or disruptive innovations that can make a significant impact on the 海角视频 economy and beyond.

Before establishing the company, Amutri鈥檚 chief executive Michael Calver spent two decades designing and building advanced 3D Visualisation and Simulation technologies, pioneering the use of gaming technologies within non-gaming applications for a range of industries.
Mr Calver said the Amutri team is 鈥渢hrilled鈥 to have secured the grant from Innovate 海角视频, adding: 鈥淚nteractive 3D experiences have seen a sharp increase in demand due to their capability to revolutionise entire industries. Every company needing to produce 3D experiences faces the same problem of complex, lengthy, and expensive 3D content creation processes, and Amutri is here to remove these barriers. The grant will help us in our ambition to dramatically lower the entry point to 3D Visualisation technology.
鈥淥ur technology has already been trialled by some of the world鈥檚 leading design, engineering, and real estate companies and this new investment will enable us to reach even more customers who are looking for a quick and cost- effective way to produce stunning 3D experiences.鈥
3D visualisation is currently used by a wide range of design and social media teams to enhance the way they engage with customers and users, with retailers commonly adopting the technology to improve in-store and online experiences.
