What ALL3D does

ALL3D is a Dublin-based, founder-owned digital agency (trading as Douglas Sherman T/A ALL3D) that produces 3D visualisation, animation, video, photography, motion graphics, compositing, and design services for enterprise clients in medical device, architecture, manufacturing, and FMCG sectors. The firm was founded in 2004 in Galway and relocated to Dublin in 2011, and has completed more than 500 projects over its operating history, including work supporting FDA submissions, planning applications, and brand marketing for named clients such as Olympus, Spark Therapeutics, Kingspan Environmental, Teva, Arup, and the Irish Office of Public Works. Revenue is generated almost entirely through bespoke, quote-based project engagements, with a multi-year contract cadence on at least some accounts and acquisition driven by portfolio, referrals, and direct enterprise outreach rather than paid marketing.

The technical stack combines traditional 3D/CGI, film, and motion-graphics production with two proprietary technology assets: a real-time 3D refraction engine (originally built for the DesignAR iOS application and described as world-leading IP for FMCG glass and bottle visualisation) and, more recently, a proprietary middleware layer that wraps third-party generative AI image models to produce brand-consistent lifestyle and environmental imagery. In February–March 2026, ALL3D launched ALL3D AI Images as a standalone product, signing US furniture manufacturer Hooker Furniture as the platform's first brand partner, marking the company's first material move from pure services into a potentially repeatable, productised AI offering.

The business remains a sole proprietorship with no disclosed external funding, headcount in the 11–50 band, and operations concentrated in Ireland serving a mix of European enterprise and public-sector clients. The combination of a 20-year operating track record, deep sector-specific creative expertise, and proprietary AI/AR technology suggests a defensible niche agency with optionality on productised AI revenue, though scaling will likely require capital, partnerships, or channel development beyond the current direct-sales footprint.
