About ALLSIDES

ALLSIDES is building one of the world's largest collections of photorealistic 3D assets - real objects captured in digital format with extreme precision to train the next generation of AI models. Our clients include global brands like Adidas, Meta, Amazon, and Zalando. Our scanning technology is already deployed worldwide, used by leading companies and research institutions. Now we're bringing 3D production to South Tyrol - building our own scanning team and facilities right here in Brixen. We're expanding our operations to capture the diversity of the physical world at scale. Every day, our team works with different objects - from everyday items to specialized products - capturing their appearance, materials, and details to build a dataset that helps AI understand how things really look. As a deep-tech startup in the Dolomites, we're building the team that creates the foundation for 3D AI - one carefully captured object at a time. More info:
