The Company is experiencing accelerated growth in orders for its 3D model business for e-commerce

Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (“Nextech” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29), a Metaverse Company and leading provider of augmented reality (“AR”) experience technologies, wayfinding technologies and 3D model services is pleased to announce it has received its single largest purchaser order to date of $6.7 million from a NASDAQ 100 Technology Company. The 3D models related to this $6.7 million order are to be delivered in the calendar year 2023. With the previously announced $700,000 3D model order to be delivered in Q4, 2022 the total new orders recently announced equals $7.4 million. These new 3D model orders set the stage for record growth in its 3D modeling business for the foreseeable future.

While $6.7 million is the most substantial 3D modeling order Nextech AR has received to date, the Company is still in negotiations for additional significant 3D modeling contracts from large enterprise customers, which it expects to announce shortly. These large enterprise orders demonstrate the Company’s technical proficiency as a 3D model provider and leadership position in the transformation of the $5.5 trillion e-commerce industry from 2D to 3D. The Company is anticipating that its proprietary AI and computer vision expertise will play a major role in the growth of its future production of mass quantities of 3D models, which the Company estimates to be in the hundreds of millions.

CEO Evan Gappelberg commented, “The transformation from 2D online shopping to 3D is only in the first or second inning, similar to Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Energy Storage, DNA Sequencing, Blockchain Technology, and other disruptive technologies. We are very fortunate to be positioned as one of the leaders in 3D technology transforming the $5.5 trillion e-commerce industry. We are now delivering mass quantities of 3D models to the highest standards, for the most demanding customers. We expect that global demand for 3D models will rapidly grow and then accelerate at a breakneck pace from 2023 into 2024. We see this massive demand for 3D models accelerating now because large enterprise e-commerce businesses have seen a positive ROI for 3D models and know that to remain competitive they will need 3D models.” He continued, “Nextech AR has worked tirelessly over the past four years to cement itself as a leader in 3D model making at scale for large enterprise global customers and it is just now starting to pay off as evidenced by this $6.7 million order. The transition from flat 2D photos to 3D models is now in full swing presenting a massive opportunity which we plan to take full advantage of.”
