Canvas provides a 3D scanning service specifically designed for the real estate, architecture, and interior design sectors. Using a mobile application that takes advantage of the LiDAR scanners found in newer iPhones and iPads, users can quickly capture detailed 3D scans of interior spaces. The application processes this data to create 3D models, with a key offering being the "scan-to-CAD" service. This service converts the 3D scans into editable and professional-grade CAD files compatible with software like SketchUp, Revit, and AutoCAD. Canvas differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on a service-based model that charges per square foot for CAD file conversion, which helps professionals save time and reduce costs associated with manual measurements and drafting. The company's goal is to streamline the design and remodeling process for professionals in the architecture and interior design fields.

Sarah Bird. (LinkedIn Photo). Sarah Bird, the Seattle tech veteran who led SEO software startup Moz for seven years, is the new CEO of Canvas, a software company that builds technology for remodeling, architecture and interior design.A former lawyer who started at Moz as chief operating officer in 2007, Bird left the company in November 2021 after it was acquired by J2 Global. She spent almost two years on a sabbatical that she said was filled with travel, startup investing, volunteering, remodeling her home and more. She also got engaged, she wrote on LinkedIn on Wednesday.Feeling “powered up,” Bird called the Canvas job her “next dream role.”Canvas uses LiDAR-enabled iPhone or iPad scans to capture precise 3D representations of homes and create interactive models with accurate measurements. The process turns the scans into detailed, editable, as-built files in industry-standard formats.The company traces its roots to 2008, when Jeffrey Powers and Vikas Reddy co-founded the firm, previously known as Occipital Inc.“What truly excites me about Canvas is not just the groundbreaking technology but also the customers we serve,” Bird said on LinkedIn
