Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil a significant new contract and a strategic shift in the company's monetization model. On June 6, Nextech3D.ai signed a $175,000 enterprise agreement to deliver 2,000 custom 3D models over the next 12 months, marking a strong endorsement of the company's growing presence in the digital twin and 3D content space. In a notable expansion of services, the deal includes cloud hosting of the 3D assets—an initiative that forms part of Nextech3D.ai's newly launched recurring revenue model. Rather than focusing solely on model creation, the company now offers end-to-end monetization of 3D content, from development and AI-powered photography to long-term storage and access through cloud services. Gappelberg highlighted that demand for the company's 3D modeling solutions is gaining momentum, and he expects the pace to accelerate even further heading into 2025. Powered by proprietary AI technology, Nextech3D.ai can now produce the bulk of complex 3D models at scale and at a significantly lower cost, delivering both efficiency and strong gross margin leverage. This technological edge, he noted, gives the company a clear competitive advantage in a market increasingly seeking scalable, high-quality 3D content. With the addition of hosting services, Nextech is evolving into a full-service digital twin provider, turning individual 3D assets into long-term revenue-generating products. Gappelberg emphasized that the combination of recurring cloud-based revenues and high-margin 3D and AI photography services positions the company for sustainable, profitable growth. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #ARway #AugmentedReality #SpatialMapping #IndoorNavigation #MapDynamics #EventTech #TradeShowSolutions #TechStocks #ARRevenueGrowth #3DTechnology #ProactiveInvestors #aws #amazonwebservice
