↓ -1%AI funding heats up as crypto awaits its regulatory green light. This week overview (july 20 - july 24, 2026): - Meshy raised nearly $400M Series B at a $1.5B valuation, the largest round to date for a company built specifically on AI-powered 3D generation, led by IDG Capital, Matrix Partners China, and Monolith Management. - Augustus raised $180M Series B led by Tiger Global at a $1B valuation to build a federally chartered "Global Dollar Bank" giving international fintechs stablecoin-and-SWIFT access to USD, on the back of a fresh OCC conditional national bank charter - total raised now $210M. - Glow emerged from stealth with $180M Series A (Sequoia, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks, Redpoint, Index) at a $1.2B valuation, building AI-native endpoint security for a world where AI agents sit on the corporate laptop. - Movement Labs, the team behind the Movement Layer-2 network, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reported this week, after its MOVE token collapsed roughly 94-99% following a market-maker token-distribution scandal that got it delisted from major exchanges. Meshy: the largest check AI 3D generation has ever seen. Three-dimensional content has been the industry's obvious-but-unsolved AI application for years: every other modality (text, image, video, voice) got its foundation-model moment, and 3D lagged because the data, the tooling, and the use cases were messier. This week that gap closed with the single largest funding event AI 3D generation has recorded. Meshy closed nearly $400M in Series B funding at a $1.5B valuation, its first publicly disclosed number, led by IDG Capital, Matrix Partners China, and Monolith Management, with existing shareholders Granite Asia, HongShan, BAI Capital, and Source Code Capital all returning. The company builds foundation models that generate print-ready, game-ready 3D assets directly from text, images, or sketches - collapsing what used to be a multi-day modeling workflow requiring specialized software and specialized humans into a prompt. The traction numbers explain why investors leaned in at this size: annual recurring revenue is growing roughly 12x year over year, the platform has more than 12 million registered users, and users have generated over 100 million models to date. Those aren't hobbyist numbers - they describe a tool already embedded in real production pipelines across gaming, e-commerce, and manufacturing, categories where a usable 3D asset has direct, measurable economic value the moment it's produced instead of weeks later. Alongside the round, Meshy shipped the "Meshy 3D Agent" - an agentic workflow that takes a rougher input (a sketch, a reference photo, a text description) and autonomously handles the multi-step process of turning it into a finished, usable model, rather than a single-shot generation the user has to iterate on by hand. Text and image generation got their infrastructure-scale rounds years ago; video followed. 3D was the modality everyone assumed would eventually get its moment once the underlying models were good enough - and this week's round is the market declaring that the technology has crossed that threshold, with real revenue and real usage to back the price tag rather than pure narrative. Augustus: a bank charter as the moat, stablecoins as the product. If Meshy is this week's proof that a new AI category just became investable, Augustus is proof that the oldest financial category - dollar banking - is being rebuilt with crypto-native rails underneath a very traditional wrapper. Augustus closed a $180M Series B led by Tiger Global, with Hummingbird, QED, and the founders of Nubank, Ramp, Circle, and Deel all participating, at a $1B valuation, bringing its total raised to $210M. The company is building what it calls the "Global Dollar Bank": a federally chartered U.S. bank giving international fintechs and banks direct USD account access and payment rails spanning SWIFT, ACH, SEPA, and stablecoin settlement. The real asset isn't the round size, it's the charter. In May, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency granted Augustus preliminary conditional approval for a full national bank charter, making it only the eighth company since 2010 to receive that approval. Fintechs have spent a decade routing around the need for a charter through sponsor-bank partnerships; Augustus chose to become the bank instead, which lets it offer dollar access on its own terms. The use of funds tells you where the demand actually lives: expansion into Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, regions where local fintechs and banks have the hardest time getting reliable, affordable USD rails, and where a stablecoin-backed dollar account solves an expensive, everyday problem rather than a speculative one. Augustus is the least "crypto-native"-looking story in this roundup, wrapping a stablecoin settlement layer inside the most conservative possible institution - and arguably the clearest evidence yet of what stablecoins are actually being used for in 2026. Glow: securing the endpoint now that AI agents live there too. Cybersecurity spending follows wherever the attack surface just moved, and this week the attack surface moved onto the AI agents now running on employee laptops. Glow emerged from stealth with a $180M Series A at a $1.2B valuation, an unusually large debut round backed by Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, Greenoaks, Redpoint Ventures, Index Ventures, and Lux Capital, among others. Founders Roi Tiger (former Meta VP of Engineering), Omer Singer (former Snowflake cybersecurity strategy lead), Ophir Arie (former Claroty VP of R&D), and Arnon Joseph (former Meta engineering leader) built the company around a single premise: endpoint security, as a category, was designed for a world where humans and static software occupied a device - not autonomous AI agents holding standing permissions and the ability to act on their own. "If you think of the past decade, everything was moving to the cloud and SaaS. Suddenly, AI lands on the endpoint" - Roi Tiger, Glow co-founder That prevention-first posture matters because the threat model flipped in both directions at once: AI tools give attackers a faster way to craft convincing, adaptive attacks, and AI agents given broad device permissions are themselves a new kind of insider risk if compromised or simply misconfigured. Traditional endpoint detection, built to flag known malware signatures, was never built to reason about an autonomous process with legitimate credentials doing something it was technically allowed to do. Glow already has paying customers in healthcare, retail, and financial services, sectors with the least tolerance for a security model built for the last decade's threats, and employs close to 100 people, 70% based in Israel. A $1.2B valuation on a stealth debut says Sequoia and company think "AI on the endpoint"; it's the default problem every enterprise is about to have. Movement Labs: what happens when a token scandal actually reaches bankruptcy court. Not every story in a VC roundup is a raise, some are the other end of the cycle, and this week crypto got a reminder of what that looks like when it goes all the way to bankruptcy court. MVMT Labs, the development team behind the Movement Layer-2 blockchain network, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, according to reporting this week. The filing reported liabilities of up to $10M against roughly $500K in assets, a startling gap for a project that had raised a $38M Series A led by Polychain Capital in 2024 and a roughly $100M Series B in early 2025 at a valuation near $3B. The collapse traces back to a controversial market-maker agreement around the initial distribution of 66 million MOVE tokens, which triggered mass liquidations and got the token banned from major exchanges including Binance. MOVE has since traded down as much as 94-99% from its highs, and the largest creditor in the bankruptcy filing is co-founder Rushi Manche himself, with a claim exceeding $1.6M. The court has set September 14, 2026 as the deadline for creditors to file claims, with a formal restructuring plan due by October 13, 2026. Why this belongs in a roundup alongside four funding rounds: Movement Labs raised from serious, credible investors (Polychain led its seed round) at a serious valuation, and still ended up in bankruptcy court within roughly two years - not because the underlying technology failed, but because of a token-distribution and market-making structure that blew up the community's trust before the product ever got a fair test.
AI 3D model generation for education: how Thitikorn transformed classroom learning with Meshy AI. Learn how a Thai university lecturer uses Meshy to help students turn 2D sketches into 3D printed models, making AI-assisted 3D creation accessible in the classroom. Thitikorn Suthiapa Posted: July 2, 2026 On this page Thitikorn Suthiapa is a lecturer and EdTech researcher in Bangkok, Thailand, who leads AI-assisted 3D learning projects across concept design, Meshy, Blender, and 3D printing. With Meshy, he helps students turn sketches, character ideas, mascots, and collectible concepts into usable 3D models faster, making digital-to-physical creation more accessible in an educational setting. AI-Assisted 3D learning at Southeast Bangkok University. At Southeast Bangkok University, Thitikorn Suthiapa is using AI-assisted 3D creation to connect creative ideation with practical production. As a lecturer, EdTech researcher, and project lead in the Multimedia and Esports Program, he works across character design, art toys, game-related assets, mascot concepts, collectible figures, and institutional branding figures. His work combines digital tools and fabrication methods so students can move beyond static concepts and build real outputs for portfolios, exhibitions, and public showcases. His approach is not centered on software alone. It is built around a full learning workflow that starts with imagination and ends in presentation. Students begin with concept development, translate those ideas into 2D sketches, generate 3D forms with Meshy, refine them in Blender, and then prepare them for 3D printing and final display. That combination gives learners a clearer view of how digital media, interactive content, and fabrication can work together in practice. Reducing time and skill barriers in 3D creation. Before adopting Meshy, one of the main challenges was helping students move from 2D concepts to 3D models quickly enough for real coursework and project timelines. Traditional 3D modeling often requires a substantial technical foundation before learners can confidently build forms from scratch. For beginners, that meant a long gap between having an idea and being able to see it as a 3D object. This created several practical bottlenecks. Students often spent significant time learning manual modeling techniques before they could even begin evaluating the strength of a concept in three dimensions. That slowed down experimentation, made iteration harder, and limited participation for learners who did not yet have advanced modeling skills. The department needed a workflow that was easier to adopt, faster to demonstrate, and flexible enough to support both concept exploration and downstream production. For educational institutions looking to implement similar workflows, Meshy also offers an Education Plan designed to support classroom teaching, student projects, makerspaces, and collaborative learning environments. "Meshy helps students move from imagination to production by turning 2D concepts into 3D models more quickly and accessibly." - Thitikorn Suthiapa From concept sketch to 3D model with Meshy. Thitikorn's department discovered Meshy while exploring AI tools for educational 3D model generation and testing how AI-to-3D workflows could fit into structured learning activities. Meshy became a practical bridge between concept design and production, especially for students who were still building confidence with traditional 3D tools. The workflow typically begins with idea development and sketching. Students create 2D concepts in Procreate, prepare images in Adobe Photoshop, and then bring those visuals into Meshy to generate early 3D versions of their designs. From there, they review the results, compare variations, and identify which direction is most worth refining. Once a promising model is selected, it is cleaned up in Blender, prepared for slicing, and moved into 3D printing for prototype production. Final outputs may include painted figures, presentation pieces, art toys, collectible-style objects, or showcase-ready assets. This process supports a wide range of use cases, including: - AI-assisted 3D character design - Art toy production - Faculty identity figure design - Game-related asset prototyping - Interactive media asset development - 3D printing preparation - Student portfolio projects - Classroom demonstrations - Workshops and open house activities - SBU Maker Club projects For Thitikorn, some of Meshy's most valuable features are its 2D image-to-3D generation, fast concept-to-3D workflow, and support for rapid experimentation. Students can generate multiple options quickly, compare outcomes, and move into evaluation and refinement much earlier than they could with a fully manual process. What is the impact on learning, prototyping, and creative output. With Meshy in the workflow, students can visualize their 2D ideas as 3D forms much earlier in the process. That change reduces the technical barrier for beginners and makes 3D creation more accessible to a broader range of learners. Instead of spending most of their time trying to reach a first model, they can focus more on creativity, evaluation, design thinking, and refinement. The impact is especially clear in digital-to-physical projects. Meshy helps connect concept development with Blender cleanup and 3D printing, allowing students to see how an idea can move from sketch to prototype to painted final object. That makes the learning experience more concrete and gives students a stronger understanding of how 3D assets can function across media, fabrication, presentation, and even virtual reality learning environments. The workflow also improves productivity. Rapid prototyping becomes easier because students can test multiple concepts, compare outputs, identify issues, and refine work faster. This supports stronger portfolio development by showing a complete creation pipeline rather than a single isolated deliverable. It also opens up new possibilities for product ideation, collectible concepts, student entrepreneurship, and shared teaching workflows across instructors. These outcomes are already visible in real projects and activities such as the 403307 3D Artificial Intelligence course, Faculty Identity Figures, SBU Maker Club activities, prototype and art toy printing, Mini Open House workshops, SBU Open House 2025, collaboration activities with W3GG, and national-level 3D printing innovation exhibitions. How to expand digital-to-physical learning with Meshy. Looking ahead, Thitikorn's work points toward a broader model for AI-assisted 3D education: one where concept design, rapid generation, model refinement, fabrication, and presentation are all part of the same practical workflow. As more students use Meshy to build portfolio-ready assets and physical prototypes, the approach can continue to support exhibitions, industry-linked showcases, and new forms of creative entrepreneurship while making 3D learning more approachable from the start.

Meshy AI announces integration with Formlabs to bridge the gap between generative AI and professional 3D manufacturing; debuts at RAPID + TCT 2026. By PR Newswire April 15, 2026 New FormNow Integration Connects AI-Generated 3D Models Directly to Professional Print Fulfillment BOSTON, April 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Meshy.ai, the world's leading generative AI 3D platform, today announced a landmark integration with Formlabs' Form Now on-demand print service. This partnership marks the first time a generative AI platform has successfully closed the loop between text-to-3D creation and professional-grade physical manufacturing. Meshy will showcase this end-to-end workflow at Booth #2164 during the RAPID + TCT 2026 conference in Boston (April 14-16). Eliminating Technical Barriers in the Additive Manufacturing Workflow One of the most persistent challenges in the additive manufacturing industry is the workflow gap between 3D content creation and print-ready output. Converting an image or concept into a manufacturable 3D model has traditionally required CAD expertise, manual mesh repair, geometry cleanup, and slicer configuration - creating high barriers for both individual creators and enterprise teams scaling production. Meshy's platform eliminates this friction entirely. Using text prompts or uploaded images, Meshy's AI generates high-quality, print-ready 3D models in seconds - automatically handling mesh repair, geometry optimization, and material compatibility checks that would otherwise require specialist knowledge or hours of manual work. "By partnering with Form Now, we are completing the generative AI loop," said Ethan Hu, Founder and CEO of Meshy.ai. "Our users can already create stunning 3D assets with text in seconds; now, they can hold those assets in their hands with the same level of ease." Meshy x Formlabs: A Seamless Professional Manufacturing Pipeline Available to all Meshy users since April 8, the Form Now integration connects Meshy's AI model generation directly to Formlabs' professional on-demand 3D printing service. Users who generate a model inside Meshy can export it to Form Now with a single click, select their material and color, and receive a professionally printed part at their door in as little as 48 hours - without leaving the Meshy workflow. The integration closes a persistent gap in the AI-to-print pipeline: users can go from an AI-generated 3D model to a physically printed, shipped object entirely within the Meshy platform - no separate file upload, no manual transfer, no print service account setup required. Form Now fulfills orders from its production facility in Billerica, Massachusetts, using Formlabs' industry-leading SLA and SLS technology. After generating and customizing a 3D model in Meshy, users click "Print with Form Now" to send their design directly to Formlabs' platform. The entire process - from AI generation to order placement - takes under five minutes. Workspace 3.0: The Backbone of AI-Driven Manufacturing Meshy's Workspace 3.0 - already live - is a ground-up redesign built around one goal: getting users from idea to 3D asset faster. Three core upgrades define the release: * Instant Creation: A new creation bar with prompt presets lets users start generating without navigating away from their project - reducing friction from intent to output. * Task-Oriented Workflows: Dedicated spaces for Image, Model, Print, and Animate keep users in a single context rather than context-switching between tools. Each space is optimized for its task, from AI image generation through to print-ready export. * Unified Assets: Images and 3D models now live in a single asset library - no tab-switching, no lost files. Teams browsing 2D references and 3D models work from the same interface. For design teams, manufacturers, and hardware partners, Workspace 3.0 also delivers production-grade API access with the stability and uptime that enterprise integrations demand. Expanding the AI-Hardware Ecosystem Meshy continues to position itself as the foundational AI content layer for the 3D industry. Beyond Formlabs, xTool is building its own creative tools on top of Meshy's APIs, leveraging its multi-color model conversion and printability repair capabilities. Additional hardware partners are in active integration with Meshy's platform ahead of upcoming product launches - including full-color 3D printing lines planned for later in 2026. "What we've learned from working with hardware partners - and from watching users at shows like TCT - is that the magic moment isn't the model on screen. It's the physical object in their hand," said Johnny Li, Head of 3D Printing Products at Meshy.ai. "That's what we design toward. Every product category in Creative Lab, every printability optimization in Workspace, exists to make that moment reliable, repeatable, and accessible to someone who has never touched a slicer in their life." As 3D printers become faster, more colorful, and more accessible, the content gap widens. Meshy is building the platform that closes it - for creators, enterprise teams, and the hardware manufacturers who need their products to work out of the box. How Do You Go from a Photo to a 3D-Printed Product in Minutes? Step 1 - Create Upload a photo or enter a text prompt (e.g., "a golden retriever sitting") into Meshy's AI model generator. The platform produces a detailed, textured 3D model in 30-60 seconds. Step 2 - Auto-Optimize Meshy automatically produces watertight, manifold mesh geometry and runs printability checks - eliminating the manual topology repair that typically requires specialist skills or hours of iteration. Meshy achieves a 97% slicer pass rate on character and figurine models, with native Bambu Studio integration for direct export. Step 3 - Customize Choose a product category (keychain, magnet, keycap, photo frame, and more). The model adapts to real-world physical constraints automatically, with a WYSIWYG preview showing exactly what the finished object will look like. Step 4 - Order & Receive Place an order directly through the Meshy platform. Manufacturing partners fulfill orders using high-precision 3D printing, with global shipping to the customer's door. At Booth #2164, attendees can experience this workflow live across Creative Lab's current product categories: 3D keychains, 2D magnets, 2D keycaps, and Jupiter3D photo frames. Visitors can sign up for early access to Creative Lab's full e-commerce launch, coming later this month. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What file formats does Meshy export for 3D printing? Meshy exports STL, OBJ, GLB, FBX, and 3MF formats - covering the full range of formats accepted by professional slicers including Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura, OrcaSlicer, and Netfabb. Q: Do I need a 3D printer to use Meshy Creative Lab? No. Creative Lab handles manufacturing through Meshy's production partners. Users generate a model, customize it within the platform, and place an order - the finished physical product is shipped directly to them. No printer, no slicer, no filament required. Q: How does the Meshy x Formlabs Form Now integration work? After generating a 3D model in Meshy, users click "Print" to send their design directly to Form Now - no file export or account setup is required. Users select their material and color, and Form Now fulfills the order using professional SLA or SLS printing and ships the finished part in as little as 48 hours. The entire process from AI generation to order placement takes under five minutes. Q: Can AI-generated 3D models be used directly for 3D printing, or do they need editing? Meshy's AI is specifically trained to output watertight, manifold mesh geometry - the technical requirement for a model to be sliceable without repair. The platform automatically performs wall thickness checks (FDM minimum >=1.2mm; resin minimum >=0.3mm) and structural optimization before export. In internal testing, Meshy achieved a 97% slicer pass rate on character and figurine models - with simple models requiring 0-5 minutes of post-processing, compared to 15-25 minutes for other AI generators tested. Q: What is the difference between Meshy Creative Lab and Workspace 3.0? Creative Lab is a consumer-facing platform for turning AI-generated designs into physical products (keychains, magnets, keycaps, and more) - ordered and shipped without a printer. Workspace 3.0 is Meshy's professional environment for teams and businesses: it features task-oriented workflows (Image, Model, Print, Animate), a unified asset library, and production-grade API access for integrating Meshy into larger content pipelines. Q: Which hardware partners currently work with Meshy? Current hardware ecosystem partners include xTool, Snapmaker, and Flashforge. xTool and Snapmaker are building custom creative tools using Meshy's API. Flashforge is working with Meshy on full-color model compatibility ahead of their consumer full-color 3D printer launch in Q2 2026.

How to turn any image into a full-color 3D print in one click - Meshy's Multi-Color Printing, powered by Meshy-6, is now live on MakerWorld. By PR Newswire March 17, 2026 Meshy integrates its Image-to-3D tool into Bambu Lab's MakerWorld MakerLab, while also launching Multi-Color Printing on meshy.ai - together delivering the most seamless AI-to-print workflow on the market for hobbyists, makers, and creators. SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Meshy, the leading generative AI platform for 3D model creation, today announced its full integration into MakerWorld's MakerLab, the AI tool hub within Bambu Lab's 3D printing ecosystem. Users can now access Meshy's Image-to-3D tool directly in MakerLab to generate print-ready 3D models from a single image in minutes. This integration reflects the industry's recognition of Meshy's model quality and technical standards. In addition, Meshy has updated its Multi-Color Printing feature to automatically map complex textures into precise color zones compatible with Bambu Lab's AMS. This update removes the need for manual coloring in slicing software. Users can now export a .3MF file from Meshy and drag it directly into Bambu Studio for a streamlined "what you see is what you get" printing workflow. For millions of 3D printing enthusiasts asking how to make 3D printable models, how to create 3D printer files, or what is the best 3D printing software for beginners - the answer is now a single workflow inside MakerWorld, powered by Meshy. How Do I Make 3D Printable Models Without CAD Software? For years, 3D printing enthusiasts have faced a frustrating gap: owning a capable printer but lacking the skills to create their own models. Common searches like "how to design 3D print models", "what is the best 3D modeling software for 3D printing", and "how to make your own 3D print files" reflect millions of makers stuck at this barrier. Meshy's Image-to-3D, now embedded inside MakerWorld's MakerLab, removes this barrier entirely. Powered by Meshy-6 - Meshy's latest and most advanced generation engine - the tool converts any photo or image into a high-quality, print-ready 3D model in minutes, directly within the browser. No software installation. No modeling experience required. What Is Meshy Multi-Color Printing - and How Does It Work with Bambu Lab? The most-requested capability among FDM 3D printing enthusiasts has always been color fidelity - getting a printed object that looks as vibrant as the digital model. Until now, achieving this required manual color painting inside Bambu Studio, separate mesh repair steps, and significant technical expertise. Meshy's updated Multi-Color Printing feature on meshy.ai eliminates this friction. The feature: * Automatically maps complex textures into precise color zones compatible with Bambu Lab's AMS multi-filament system * Removes the need for manual coloring in slicing software - color assignments are pre-configured in the exported file * Exports in multiple formats: STL for single-color printing, 3MF with full color mapping for Bambu Lab multi-color workflows, and GLB for digital/rendering use - all from the same model * Delivers a true WYSIWYG experience: what users see in Meshy is precisely what emerges from their Bambu Lab printer "The generated textures look great, but how do I print them?" - this was the number one question from the Meshy community. Multi-Color Printing is the direct answer. How to Create 3D Printer Files: The Complete AI-to-Print Workflow Meshy's MakerWorld integration and Multi-Color Printing are two distinct but complementary capabilities. Here is how each workflow works: Workflow A - Image to print via MakerWorld (powered by Meshy-6): * Step 1 - Open MakerLab's Image-to-3D at makerworld.com - no software download required * Step 2 - Upload any photo or image; Meshy-6 generates a print-ready 3D mesh in seconds * Step 3 - Export as STL or 3MF and send directly to Bambu Studio to slice and print Workflow B - Image to multi-color print via meshy.ai: * Step 1 - Generate a model on meshy.ai using Image-to-3D or Text-to-3D, powered by Meshy-6 * Step 2 - Enable Multi-Color Printing; textures are automatically mapped to filament color zones, compatible with Bambu Lab's AMS * Step 3 - Export as .3MF - all color-to-filament assignments are pre-configured, no manual painting in Bambu Studio needed * Step 4 - Drag the .3MF into Bambu Studio; hit Print - the AMS handles the rest "I took a photo of my cat, used Meshy's Image-to-3D feature right inside MakerWorld, and had a print-ready 3MF file in under two minutes. The model came out exactly as I expected - my Bambu Lab X1C handled the rest. I've been 3D printing for years and this is genuinely the fastest I've ever gone from idea to finished object." - Chloe T., 3D printing enthusiast, Austin, TX Meshy x Bambu Lab: Democratizing 3D Modeling at Scale MakerWorld is Bambu Lab's flagship community hub - the destination for millions of makers searching for free 3D print files, design inspiration, and printing resources.
