A cross-platform 3D design tool that enables real-time collaboration in virtual reality.
What it does
Provides a high-fidelity 3D sketching environment within VR and AR.
Enables real-time 'Multi-user Collaboration' for remote design reviews.
Features 'LandingPad' to sync and manage design files across devices.
Allows for instant exporting of 3D models to standard formats like OBJ and FBX.
Includes specialized tools for sub-division modeling and surfacing.
Why it works
Intuitive: Designing in 1:1 scale within VR is significantly more natural than using a mouse and keyboard.
Speed: Reduces the time from 'sketch' to '3D model' by up to 60% through a 'creation-first' workflow.
Collaboration: Removes the friction of remote work by allowing teams to meet inside the design itself.
Compatibility: Built to integrate seamlessly into professional pipelines including Unity and Rhino.

Overview
Gravity Sketch is a revolutionary 3D creation platform that allows designers to sketch, model, and collaborate in an immersive virtual environment. By moving 3D design from a 2D screen into VR, it allows for more intuitive spatial thinking and faster prototyping. It is widely used by automotive and industrial designers to bridge the gap between initial concepts and professional CAD models.

Founder story
Founded in 2014 by Oluwaseyi Sosanya, Daniela Paredes, and Daniel Thomas in London. The founders, all RCA alumni, realized that 3D software was too complex and 'disconnected' from human movement. They built Gravity Sketch to bring the 'physicality' back to digital design, eventually scaling it to become the industry standard for VR modeling.
