We Connect Manufacturers with Architects and Designers

Lightbeans uses proprietary scanning technology to digitize manufacturer’s products into 3D textures. Already, 75 manufacturers have digitized over 2,000 textures. These 3D textures help showcase products and assist architects and designers in using accurate, visually appealing materials in digital environments for specification.

”

Our goal is to connect architects and designers with material manufacturers throughout North America. By partnering with manufacturers, we create virtual materials that improve planning, visualization, and specification in architectural projects.
