VORTEK Spaces

What VORTEK Spaces does

VORTEK Spaces, operated by Arcane Technologies Inc. and headquartered in Quebec, Canada, develops real-time 3D presentation software for the cabinetry, woodworking, and interior design industries. The platform ingests design files from dominant upstream CAD software, including Cabinet Vision, Microvellum, SketchUp, Mozaik, 2020, Chief Architect, CabMaster, CabWriter, ClosetPro, AutoCAD, and Pytha, and renders them into photorealistic imagery, walkthrough videos, and immersive VR experiences without requiring 3D artist expertise. Its proprietary rendering engine received a major 2025 upgrade adding Ultra quality mode with ray tracing, intelligent material recognition, and plugin-free native import for SketchUp and Mozaik, alongside a curated content library of 4,000+ branded materials, 14,000+ exclusive 3D models, and 41,000 Wayfair objects updated on a weekly cadence.

The product portfolio spans the core VORTEK Spaces application (annual subscription CA$1,395, quarterly US$445), a VR Experience Add-On at CA$1,495/year supporting Meta Quest 3 and other headsets, a one-time Custom Branding Integration at CA$750, an outsourced One-Room 3D Interior Design service at CA$500 per room, and a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Distribution combines direct e-commerce via vortekspaces.com and the Microsoft Windows Store with channel partnerships inside CAD platforms and active participation in global industry trade shows (IWF Atlanta, WMS Canada, KBIS/IBS Orlando, TISE Las Vegas, AWISA Sydney, Eurobois Lyon, Closets Conference & Expo).

The customer base is concentrated in small and mid-sized cabinet manufacturers, kitchen and interior designers, kitchen/bath/closet dealers, and closet specialists across North America, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand. Named customers include Steph&Max Kitchens, Graber Cabinetry LLC, Chervin, Mastercraft Kitchens, Old World Cabinetry, Les Ateliers du Cèdre, and Réno-V-Cuisine, all SMB operators. Go-to-market relies on event-driven demonstrations, content marketing via video tutorials and webinars, an active social presence across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and strategic partnerships with Microsoft (Surface Studio demonstrations since 2017 and the IDS Toronto 2020 partnership), Hexagon (Closets Conference & Expo 2025), and material partners such as Egger, Tafisa, Uniboard, Wilsonart, Arauco, and Farrow & Ball.
