中国人工智能初创公司Deemos为Hyper3D Rodin的全球推广筹集新资金 2026-06-23
Deemos Technology, a Chinese firm specializing in artificial intelligence-powered three-dimensional model generators, has raised hundreds of millions of Chinese yuan in its latest funding round, with the proceeds set to expedite the worldwide commercialization of its flagship product, Hyper3D Rodin.
Cathay Capital and SSCI Leading Private Equity Fund Management, a unit of Shanghai State-owned Capital Investment, led the fundraiser, Shanghai-based Deemos announced on June23. Several existing investors also took part, with Lighthouse Capital advising.
The new funding will be used to advance work on frontier 3D generative-model technology and hasten the use of Deemos’ products in gaming, e-commerce, 3D printing, industrial design, and embodied intelligence, it said.
Founded in 2020, Deemos has focused on developing Hyper3D Rodin, which can create highly detailed 3D images and videos from text and images and has now been upgraded to Gen-2.5. In its first month after launch, both subscriber numbers and annual recurring revenue jumped fivefold month on month, the company said.
It is still unrealistic for ordinary users to work with 3D generative models, so Hyper3D is mainly aimed at business and professional users, such as modelers, game developers, and 3D-printing hobbyists, who have a clear willingness to pay, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Zhang Qixuan told Yicai.
In the business-end market, Deemos’ client base already includes many well-known technology companies, including TikTok owner ByteDance, game engine developer Unity Software, online collaborative design platforms Figma and Canva. The company said overseas income accounts for as much as 80 percent of total revenue.
Amid increasing demand for embodied intelligence training, China’s tech giants have been ramping up efforts in 3D generation. For instance, ByteDance released its next-gen 3D creation model Seed3D 2.0 this April, while Tencent Holdings launched HY-World 2.0 in the same month.
Future world models will need to combine 3D and video generation to help machines learn in real world-like environments, said Wu Di, Deemos co-founder and chief executive, adding that the firm will keep improving its foundational model quality while expanding editing and agent capabilities.
