VoxelForge secures $18M Series A to build GPU-accelerated prototyping tool for real-time 3D UX

Tech · 5 min read

The round was led by Horizon Capital with participation from gaming-focused investors and strategic partners in the XR hardware space. VoxelForge's tool lets designers create high-fidelity, real-time 3D prototypes without heavy engineering overhead by leveraging cloud GPUs and a node-based authoring interface.

Planned uses of the capital include building a managed cloud rendering backend, latency-optimized streaming for spatial prototyping and plugins for major 3D apps like Blender and Unreal. The company also plans to expand its designer-facing toolset with behavior-driven prototyping components.

Design teams in automotive and retail have been early adopters, using VoxelForge to prototype in-car displays and immersive point-of-sale experiences. The startup hopes to standardize a faster loop for 3D UX that traditionally required expensive engine work.

Investors said VoxelForge's early traction with enterprise customers and its proprietary streaming tech convinced them the platform could become the equivalent of Figma for spatial interfaces.
