Core offering

Vizoo sells material digitization technology that captures physical fabric, leather, and other material samples as physically accurate 3D digital twins. Its portfolio includes xTex PBR hardware scanners, xTex texture-processing software, the physX cloud-based physics database with cross-CAD conversion, and the CAST real-time fabric collaboration application. The output is delivered through the U3M open format for use in 3D CAD, PLM, eCommerce and simulation workflows across apparel, automotive, footwear and furniture industries.

Product overview

Vizoo is a technology provider offering an integrated portfolio of material digitization solutions for the fashion, sportswear, lingerie, footwear, furniture, and automotive industries. The core offering consists of xTex™ Hardware (PBR texture scanners) and xTex™ Software (texture processing tools) that together capture physical materials and create photorealistic digital twins. The physX™ Platform provides a cloud-based physics database for fabric drape simulation, with physX Conversion enabling interoperability across multiple 3D CAD applications including Browzwear, CLO3D, and others. CAST is a real-time material collaboration application for global teams. All products output to the U3M (Unified 3D Material) open format, which uniquely carries both visual and physical material properties. Founded in Germany in 2013, Vizoo serves 600+ global clients including major brands like Adidas, Nike, PVH, and Hugo Boss across 45+ countries.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• xTex Hardware (PBR Texture Scanner) A hardware scanner that captures physical fabric, leather and other material samples as high-resolution PBR textures, producing digital twins of swatches in roughly two minutes for use in 3D design, PLM and simulation workflows. Targeted at enterprise apparel, automotive, footwear, furniture and manufacturing digitization teams.
• xTex Software Companion software to the xTex scanner that processes, edits, tiles and recolors scanned material textures and exports them into Vizoo's U3M format or other 3D-compatible assets. Used by 3D designers and material library teams at brands and manufacturers.
• physX Platform Cloud-based database of fabric physical properties and drape simulation presets, with conversion capabilities that map a single fabric measurement to multiple 3D CAD platforms (Browzwear, CLO3D, Assyst, TUKATECH, z-emotion, Optitex, Style3D, Vidya). Targets fashion brands, fabric mills and 3D designers running multi-tool pipelines.
• CAST Real-time material collaboration application enabling global teams to stream and visualize high-quality digital fabrics on products with AI-enhanced output, eliminating most physical swatch shipping. Used by brands and their supply chains to coordinate material decisions remotely.
• Vizoo Material Studio (Material Digitization Service) On-demand service in which Vizoo scans client material samples and delivers ready-to-use digital material assets, for brands and suppliers that have not yet deployed in-house xTex scanners.

Quantifiable outcome

• Reduction of physical swatch shipments by up to 80%
• +4 more outcomes

Direct peers

• Browzwear: 3D fashion design software provider that is both a Vizoo integration partner and a co-developer of the U3M format. Browzwear's VStitcher and Lotta platforms overlap with Vizoo in serving apparel digital product creation, though Browzwear's FAB measurement machine also competes in physical fabric capture.
• Optitex: Provider of 3D fashion design and virtual sample software used by apparel manufacturers. Optitex and Vizoo serve overlapping customers in digital product creation workflows and maintain a direct integration partnership.
• TUKATECH: Provider of TUKA3D and related fashion CAD solutions with broad adoption among apparel manufacturers. TUKATECH integrates Vizoo's physX platform and competes for the same digital product creation spend.
• Style3D: 3D digital fashion design platform with strong presence in Asia. Style3D is xTex-compatible and competes for the same enterprise apparel 3D workflow budget that Vizoo targets.
• CLO Virtual Fashion: Leading 3D garment design software (CLO3D) that integrates directly with Vizoo's U3M format. CLO sits adjacent to Vizoo in the apparel 3D workflow stack and could expand into native material capture, making it both a critical channel partner and a potential competitor.
• z-emotion: 3D cloth simulation and rendering software used in apparel and entertainment. z-emotion integrates Vizoo physX and competes in the broader digital fabric simulation stack.

Broad incumbents

• Adobe (Substance 3D): Adobe's Substance 3D suite offers material authoring, PBR texture creation, and 3D asset workflows that overlap with Vizoo's texture scanning and processing capabilities, though Adobe serves a much broader customer base beyond fashion.
• Centric Software: Provider of PLM and product lifecycle software for fashion, retail, and consumer goods. Centric is a strategic integration partner (Centric PLM connector with Vizoo) and an indirect competitor for enterprise apparel digital workflow budgets.
• Assyst (Hexagon): Provider of 3D apparel CAD and PLM solutions under Hexagon. Assyst integrates with Vizoo's physX conversion, competing for the same digital product creation and PLM budget in mid-market and enterprise apparel.

Emerging players

• Material Bank: Material marketplace platform for interior design and architecture that partners with Vizoo on digitization. Material Bank addresses an adjacent vertical (interior furnishings) where Vizoo already serves customers like IKEA and Herman Miller.
