Beijing, China – VAST, a leading AI company specializing in 3D generative models, has announced the completion of a multi-million dollar Pre-A+ funding round. The investment was led by the Beijing Artificial Intelligence Industry Investment Fund, with participation from existing investor Jingya Capital. This latest round of funding will fuel the development of VAST’s Tripo series of large models and the expansion of its Tripo Studio product and ecosystem platform.
Alongside the funding announcement, VAST unveiled Tripo Studio, the world’s first AI-powered, all-in-one 3D workspace. The company is also preparing to launch its next-generation algorithm, Tripo 3.0, further solidifying its position at the forefront of AI-driven 3D content creation.
Founded in March 2023, VAST focuses on the research and development of general-purpose 3D large models. The company aims to democratize 3D content creation by building a user-generated content (UGC) platform, transforming 3D spaces into hubs for enhanced user experiences, innovative content expression, and new productivity.
Since early 2024, VAST has continuously iterated its Tripo large model, launching several versions ranging from Tripo 1.0 to Tripo 2.5, each boasting billions of parameters. The company has also released a series of 3D foundational models, including TripoSR, TripoSG, and TripoSF, which have been widely adopted by the global open-source community. These models are complemented by a suite of 3D software ecosystem plugins.
VAST’s Tripo 3D large model currently serves over 2 million 3D creators, 35,000+ small and medium-sized developers, and 700+ large enterprises worldwide, with over 30 million models generated to date. The newly released Tripo Studio, an AI-driven 3D workspace, has already garnered significant praise from users globally during its initial testing phase, resulting in a fourfold increase in product payment rates.
Tripo Studio: Redefining 3D Creation
Tripo Studio represents a significant leap forward in 3D content creation. By integrating AI-powered tools into a single, intuitive platform, VAST aims to empower creators of all skill levels, from professional-grade (PGC) producers to amateur (UGC) users. The platform’s foundation model + ecosystem plugins + native workspace architecture provides a comprehensive end-to-end product system.
This new funding will enable VAST to accelerate the development of its Tripo series of large models and the Tripo Studio platform, fostering the growth of the AI + 3D industry chain. The company’s vision is to build a complete creator profile gradient, further solidifying its global leadership in the field of 3D generation.
Looking Ahead
VAST’s commitment to innovation and its focus on democratizing 3D content creation position it as a key player in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI-generated content. With the launch of Tripo Studio and the upcoming release of Tripo 3.0, VAST is poised to redefine the future of 3D creation, empowering users to bring their visions to life with unprecedented ease and efficiency.
