What 3D Infotech does

3D Infotech, Inc., founded in 2005 and headquartered in Irvine, California, provides a Physical AI platform for automated quality inspection and metrology that combines 3D scanning, machine learning, and collaborative robotics. The company's Universal Metrology Automation (UMA) platform integrates Universal Robots, Doosan Robotics, and NVIDIA AI Accelerator infrastructure with PolyWorks inspection software and Dassault Systèmes DELMIA for virtual factory planning; its Universal Machine Learning (UML) module layers AI-driven defect detection, anomaly identification, and predictive quality analytics on top. Hardware form factors include Smart Desktop (compact/small parts), Smart Station (mobile/medium parts), and Smart Cell (modular/large parts), complemented by Spotlight AR++ and DELMIA Augmented Experience for AR-guided inspection and assembly. The company sells into aerospace and defense (Boeing, Lockheed Martin, SpaceX, Honeywell, Northrop Grumman, General Atomics), automotive (Toyota, Magna, Rivian, Lucid), consumer products (Apple, Amazon, Whirlpool), energy (Halliburton), and healthcare (ARIA), with 400+ solutions deployed across North America, Latin America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific.

The product architecture follows a platform-plus-modules approach: UMA is the core automation engine, UML is the AI add-on, Streamline Enterprise orchestrates workflow, factoryCONNECT provides MES-level real-time data and analytics, SQL Connect++ handles enterprise database integration, and Part ID classifies incoming parts. Supporting services include dimensional inspection, CMM inspection, computed tomography, reverse engineering, facilities modeling, and custom jigs and fixtures, with 3DI Academy providing training. The newest product line is Adaptive Manufacturing, launched in 2025 in partnership with NVIDIA at GTC 2025, which enables robotic cells that automatically locate, classify, and generate robot paths for any part without manual reprogramming; commercial deployment is targeted for 2026.

Revenue is generated through four streams: software subscriptions (UMA, UML, Spotlight AR++), hardware system sales (Smart Desktop/Station/Cell), professional services (implementation, integration, workflow development), and maintenance/support contracts. Pricing is custom and quote-based, with multi-year software contract options available. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, a global reseller/integrator partner program, and the 3DI Mart e-commerce platform, with demand generation anchored at industry trade shows and conferences. The company is privately held, founder-led (Rohit Khanna, Founder and Chairman), ITAR registered, and ISO 9001:2015 certified.
