Lagoa Acquires DTin, Merging the Cloud and Browser-Based D Applications

BOSTON - Lagoa, the 3D cloud platform company, today announced it has acquired 3DTin, a browser-based 3D modeling tool. The acquisition demonstrates Lagoa's commitment to its vision of bringing the accessibility and power of browser-based 3D applications to everyone.

In addition to supporting 3DTins community of young creators and makers, the acquisition will allow Lagoa to improve its scene editing capabilities in its online 3D rendering platform. Lagoa intends to maintain 3DTin as an independent solution. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

The browser-based nature of 3DTin makes it the perfect addition to Lagoa, said Thiago Costa, CEO and co-founder of Lagoa. We are excited to be giving our support to the growing community of makers, young creators and 3D printing prosumers that make up 3DTins user base. We also look forward to the new scene editing capabilities we will be able to bring to Lagoa as a result of the acquisition.

3DTin Founder and Developer Jayesh Salvi said, We are thrilled to be joining Lagoa, who share our passion for the accessibility and freedom of browser-based 3D tools. With Lagoas exceptional rendering product, 3DTin users will be able to do more with their 3D models. They will continue to enjoy all the great features they have grown to like in 3DTin and can expect more enhancements to their workflow, thanks to Lagoa.

Both the Lagoa rendering application and the 3DTin modeling tool will be on demonstration at World Maker Faire in New York City, September 21-22, at Lagoa booth number MP39, Pavillion C.

3DTin was the first company to enable browser-based modeling, in 2010. Free and easy-to-use, 3DTin is a 3D modeling environment that is perfect for beginners and young makers, but with a growing list of advanced features it is attracting professional 3D artists as well.

Lagoa utilizes the power of cloud processing for photoreal 3D visualization and collaboration, and allows developers to create their own applications via their API library. Fast and powerful, Lagoa enables 3D artists, designers, engineers, architects and advertisers to collaborate while rendering and finalizing spectacular 3D content. The company was founded in 2012 in Montreal, and has offices in Bonn and Boston. For more information, visit http://home.lagoa.com/.
