VectorArc announced an $18 million Series A round led by Benchmark with participation from Brick & Mortar Ventures and industry angels. The funding will be used to finish the web-based parametric modeler and expand the team's engineering and UX design resources.

The product, VectorArc Studio, offers parametric sketching with a web-native constraint solver, real-time collaboration, and a responsive viewport optimized for large assemblies. Users can define relationships between parts, iterate through design variants, and export to BIM and CAM formats.

The company is positioning VectorArc for smaller architecture firms and product studios that need powerful parametric tools without heavy local installations. A closed beta opens this month, with a public freemium tier planned for early 2027.
