Meshy, an AI platform for generating 3D assets from text and image prompts, closed a Series B funding round of approximately $400 million at a $1.5 billion valuation. The company claims this is the largest funding round raised by any dedicated AI-3D company.

Meshy's technology enables users to create three-dimensional assets through natural language descriptions and image inputs, streamlining a process traditionally requiring specialized 3D modeling expertise. The Series B round underscores significant investor interest in generative AI tools for creative workflows. The 3D asset generation market has attracted considerable attention as enterprises and creators seek faster production methods for digital content, gaming, design, and metaverse applications. With the $1.5 billion valuation, Meshy joins a growing cohort of AI startups achieving unicorn status. The company's funding milestone reflects broader momentum in generative AI funding, though valuations across the sector have become more scrutinized following 2023's correction in venture capital multiples. The capital infusion enables Meshy to expand product development, infrastructure, and market reach as competition intensifies among AI-powered creative tools.
