Infinite Foundry

What Infinite Foundry does

Infinite Foundry is a Portuguese-headquartered industrial software company, founded in 2017 in Porto, that builds 3D digital twin platforms for industrial manufacturers and operators. The company's core offering is a high-precision virtual replica of a physical plant, generated through laser scanning of the facility and continuously fed by sensor data for real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, process simulation, and worker training in virtual reality. It serves industrial customers across Automotive, Aerospace, Energy, Steelmaking, Mining, Logistics, Healthcare, High-Tech, Construction, and Sports, with operational offices in Portugal (Porto) and Brazil (São Caetano do Sul as regional HQ, plus Vitória and Manaus), and is exploring South Asia via India's Karnataka market.

The platform is structured around six modules — Laser Scan, Design, Scripting, Animation, Monitoring, and Virtual Reality — built on a Unity-based 3D engine and augmented with AI capabilities for anomaly detection, computer vision, pattern recognition that improves with usage, and ergonomic analysis. A distinguishing architectural choice is that the digital twin receives sensor data only and remains disconnected from industrial control systems, reducing cybersecurity risk for plant operators. The company also operates InfiniteHub, an open-source web-based community platform coded in-house.

Infinite Foundry monetizes through a project-based enterprise sales motion: initial engagements are one-time payment turnkey innovation projects that include laser scanning, 3D modeling, and a factory-connected virtual scenario, with follow-on recurring revenue from annual support and maintenance contracts and an optional monthly subscription tier that eliminates upfront capital expenditure. The company has supplemented this commercial revenue with non-dilutive capital from the EU's Horizon 2020 programme and Portugal's PRR via the PRODUTECH R3 Innovation Pact, and has executed a high-visibility co-development with Oracle Portugal and the Portuguese Army for defense simulation (ARTEX 2024).

Core offering

Infinite Foundry fundamentally builds and sells a 3D Digital Twin software platform that uses laser scanning to create high-fidelity virtual replicas of industrial plants, then animates them in real time and overlays AI-powered continuous monitoring for production optimization. The platform is delivered via one-time payment innovation projects (laser scan, 3D modeling, factory-connected scenarios) and supported by recurring annual contracts for software updates, technical support, and a no-capex monthly subscription option. Customers are industrial enterprises in sectors such as Automotive, Aerospace, Energy, High-Tech, Logistics, Healthcare, Construction, Sports, Steelmaking, Mining, and Pharmaceuticals.

Product overview

Infinite Foundry offers a 3D digital plant platform centered on its 3D Digital Twin product, which creates high-precision virtual replicas of industrial facilities through laser scanning. The platform operates on a one-time payment project model for initial turnkey deployment (including scan, 3D scenario connected to factory sensors), with recurring revenue from maintenance and support contracts. The core 3D Digital Twin is supported by sub-modules including Laser Scan (3D data capture), Design (3D modeling), Scripting (simulation programming), Animation (real-time visualization), Monitoring (continuous AI-powered oversight), and Virtual Reality (immersive navigation). Additional features include Gamification of Production for scenario testing and InfiniteHub as a community/collaboration portal. The company differentiates through 3D visualization (vs. competitors' 2D dashboards), AI-powered anomaly detection, and disconnect-from-control-systems security architecture. Revenue streams include innovation projects, software licensing, and support/maintenance services.
