ADAPTA studio

What ADAPTA studio does

ADAPTA studio s.r.l. is a privately held Italian software company founded in April 2021 as a spin-off of Politecnico di Milano. The company develops AMAZ3D, a cloud-based 3D model optimization platform that reduces polygon count, file size, and draw calls by up to 99% while preserving visual quality, UV coordinates, animations, rigs, bones, and normals. The platform is delivered as a browser-based SaaS with a freemium tier (10 ADAPTA coins/month free), paid subscription tiers (Standard €60/month for 50 coins; Premium €450/month for 400 coins), and per-project pricing at €1.50/project. Core technology is built on Angular frontend, NestJS backend, AWS S3 storage, RabbitMQ job queuing, and PostgreSQL/Redis data layers.

The product surface extends beyond SaaS into developer channels: a C++ SDK library is licensed at €1,000/month per seat with a 1-month free trial, with a redistributable license available, and a Postman-documented REST API plus white-label option for enterprise embedding. Distribution also runs through Unity Asset Store (AMAZ3D LOD Lite plugin) and a Blender plugin on GitLab, with a 3D asset CMS and white-label viewer tying the ecosystem together. Patent-backed algorithms cover LOD creation with animation preservation and texture re-projection after topological operations.

ADAPTA monetizes through five streams: SaaS subscriptions (ADAPTA coins), per-project fees, SDK/library licensing, professional services for custom 3D algorithm development (computer vision, NeRF, Gaussian splatting, 3D reconstruction), and plugin sales. Customer segments span gaming and AR/VR/XR (primary), with secondary verticals in medicine/dental (e.g., Obiscanner with Fifthingenium), medical body reconstruction (SizeYou with i-DEAL), Industry 4.0/mesh comparison, cultural heritage, e-commerce, and sport. The company is based in Milan, Italy, operates globally via its SaaS and plugin channels, has 1-10 employees, and is funded by a seed round from Poli360 (Politecnico di Milano's VC arm) and 360 Capital Partners.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription (ADAPTA Coins): Subscription-based model where users purchase ADAPTA coins monthly. Each coin allows uploading one 3D asset/project, granting 10 optimizations per asset. Tiers: Free (10 coins), Standard (50 coins), Premium (400 coins), Unlimited (unlimited coins per project).
2. Per-Project Pricing: Unlimited tier charges €1.5 per project + VAT, offering unlimited optimizations for that specific project.
3. SDK/Library Licensing: Software library for developers integrating polygon optimization into existing software. €1000/month per license key, with 1-month free trial available. Also available as redistributable license with unlimited seats.
4. Custom Algorithm Development: Consulting services for custom 3D algorithm development, AI integration, 3D reconstruction, and SaaS product development for specific client needs.
5. Plugin Sales: Revenue from Unity and Blender plugins. Unity plugin available in Unity Asset Store (AMAZ3D LOD Lite free version; paid version with contact sales).
6. White Label/API: White label option and API access available for enterprise customers wanting to embed optimization capabilities into their own platforms.

Direct peers

• Simplygon (Microsoft): Established 3D model optimization and LOD generation middleware widely used in game studios and 3D pipelines. Directly competes with AMAZ3D in polygon reduction, LOD creation, and remeshing, with broader enterprise traction.
• InstaLOD: Provides 3D optimization, retopology, and LOD tools with both SDK and cloud offerings. Competes head-to-head with AMAZ3D across game, XR, and industrial visualization customers.
• RapidCompact (intelligence.io): Cloud-based 3D optimization SaaS that compresses meshes, textures, and draco-encoded glTF assets. Closely comparable cloud-delivery and target-market profile to AMAZ3D.
• DGG (Deep Graphics): Provides 3D and texture compression/optimization SDKs for real-time graphics. Competes with AMAZ3D in the embedded SDK and platform-integration layer of the 3D pipeline.

Broad incumbents

• PiXYZ Software (Unity Technologies): 3D data optimization and preparation toolchain for real-time 3D and XR, now part of Unity. Direct functional overlap with AMAZ3D in polygon reduction and asset preparation, but bundled into Unity's broader engine ecosystem.
• Sketchfab (Epic Games): Largest 3D model sharing and embedding platform, now part of Epic Games. Adjacent competitor — not a polygon optimizer, but a destination for optimized 3D assets and a distribution channel that affects the optimization ecosystem.
• Unreal Engine / Unity built-in optimizers: Engine-native LOD, mesh simplification, and texture compression tools bundled with Unity and Unreal. Set a 'good enough' free baseline against which third-party optimizers like AMAZ3D must justify a premium.

Emerging players

• meshoptimizer (Arseny Kapoulkine): Widely adopted open-source mesh optimization library (simplification, LOD, compression). Sets the open-source performance baseline against which premium optimizers like AMAZ3D must differentiate.
• DGG (formerly Simplygon alternative – DGG GmbH): European-headquartered 3D graphics compression and runtime optimization technology provider. Comparable geographic positioning to ADAPTA (European) and overlapping target customers in XR/AR.

Others

• The Khronos Group (glTF / Draco): Industry consortium that defines glTF and Draco — open standards for 3D asset delivery and compression that compete indirectly with proprietary optimizers like AMAZ3D.
