For years, 3D data has been both a promise and a problem. LiDAR scans, photogrammetry captures, and industrial digital twins are extraordinarily rich—but also painfully heavy, expensive to move, and difficult to deploy beyond controlled lab environments. As AI shifts from screen-bound models to machines that must perceive and act in the physical world, that friction has become impossible to ignore.

Greneta, a deep-tech company focused on high-precision 3D infrastructure, believes it has an answer. This week, the company officially launched its end-to-end SaaS platform at Greneta.ai, positioning it as core infrastructure for what many are calling the next phase of AI: Physical AI.

At its core, the platform is designed to tackle what Greneta describes as the “data gravity” problem in 3D—where massive datasets become so large and unwieldy that they resist movement, sharing, and real-time use. The company’s pitch is ambitious but clear: make high-fidelity 3D data as streamable and usable as 2D video.

Why 3D Data Is Becoming the New Bottleneck

The timing is not accidental. Autonomous vehicles, robotics, digital twins, and spatial computing systems all depend on accurate, high-resolution representations of the real world. Unlike traditional AI models trained on text or images, Physical AI systems must understand geometry, depth, scale, and physics—often down to millimeter-level accuracy.

The problem is that raw 3D data is enormous. A single industrial scan can run into gigabytes. Entire environments can balloon into terabytes. Moving that data across clouds, devices, and simulation environments is slow, expensive, and often impractical.

This is where Greneta is staking its claim. Rather than treating 3D optimization as a downstream step or a custom services project, the company has productized it into a fully automated SaaS pipeline. Upload raw data, click once, and receive optimized assets ready for simulation, visualization, or AI training.

That “one-click” framing matters. In an industry still dominated by bespoke workflows and specialist tooling, ease of use can be just as disruptive as raw technical performance.

Compression Without Compromise

Greneta’s most eye-catching claim is its ability to reduce 3D file sizes by more than 90% while preserving sub-millimeter precision. That’s a bold promise in a field where compression often comes at the cost of accuracy, and accuracy is non-negotiable for industrial and robotic use cases.

According to the company, its proprietary optimization algorithms were refined through years of field testing and industrial proof-of-concept deployments. The result is a system that strips away redundant data while maintaining the geometric and spatial integrity required for digital twins, simulation, and autonomous navigation.

If the numbers hold up in production, the implications are significant. Smaller files mean faster iteration, lower storage costs, easier streaming, and the ability to deploy complex 3D environments across distributed teams and edge devices.

In practical terms, this could help bridge the gap between experimental Physical AI projects and scalable, real-world deployments.

From Raw Captures to Photorealistic Worlds

Compression is only part of the story. Greneta’s platform also integrates a growing set of 3D generative AI and reconstruction tools, including support for Gaussian splatting—a technique that has gained traction for its ability to produce photorealistic, navigable 3D scenes from relatively sparse inputs.

The goal is to shorten the distance between capture and use. Instead of weeks of manual cleanup and reconstruction, Greneta promises environments that can be generated and navigated in minutes.

That’s particularly relevant for industries experimenting with digital twins, remote inspection, training simulations, and spatial analytics. As competitors like Matterport, Bentley Systems, and Autodesk continue to push deeper into industrial digital twins, the ability to rapidly generate usable 3D environments is becoming a competitive differentiator.

Greneta is betting that automation, rather than deeper feature complexity, will be the deciding factor.

World Models: A Strategic Bet on Physical AI

One of the platform’s more forward-looking moves is its integration with World Labs’ world models. While still an emerging concept, world models aim to give AI systems a coherent understanding of space, physics, and causality—essentially a mental model of how the physical world works.

By aligning its 3D environments with world model frameworks, Greneta is positioning itself not just as a data optimization vendor, but as infrastructure for AI training itself.

This matters because Physical AI systems are increasingly trained in simulation before being deployed in the real world. If those simulations lack physical consistency, the models trained on them fail when exposed to real-world conditions. Greneta’s approach suggests a future where optimized 3D data feeds directly into AI systems that understand space, not just pixels.

It’s a subtle but important shift—from visual fidelity alone to spatial intelligence.

Built With NVIDIA in Mind

Greneta’s inclusion in the NVIDIA Inception Program adds another layer of credibility and context. NVIDIA has spent years building an ecosystem around accelerated computing, simulation, and digital twins, with platforms like NVIDIA Omniverse becoming central to industrial and robotics workflows.

Greneta says its optimized assets are fully compatible with NVIDIA’s high-performance computing environments, making it easier for developers to move data between capture, simulation, and deployment.

That interoperability could be critical. As enterprises invest more heavily in NVIDIA-powered simulation stacks, tools that slot cleanly into that ecosystem gain a structural advantage. Greneta effectively positions itself as a bridge between raw 3D data and NVIDIA-driven simulation and AI pipelines.

In a market where vendor lock-in is a growing concern, compatibility is no small selling point.

From Proofs of Concept to Product

The SaaS launch follows a period of technical validation for Greneta. The company says its core technology was refined through demanding industrial PoCs across multiple sectors, though it has not publicly disclosed customer names.

That groundwork appears to have paid off. Greneta was recently named a CES 2026 Innovation Awards Honoree, a signal that its approach resonated beyond niche technical circles.

Awards don’t guarantee market success, but they do suggest that Greneta is tapping into a real and growing pain point. As Physical AI moves from hype to deployment, infrastructure players—often less visible than model builders—stand to capture outsized value.

A Crowded but Fragmented Landscape

Greneta is not alone in tackling 3D data challenges. Startups and incumbents alike are racing to simplify spatial data pipelines. What differentiates Greneta is its focus on automation, extreme compression, and Physical AI readiness rather than visualization alone.

Many existing tools excel at rendering beautiful 3D scenes for humans. Fewer are optimized for machines that need to reason about space at scale. Greneta’s emphasis on precision, world models, and simulation compatibility places it closer to infrastructure than media.

That positioning could prove decisive as enterprises look to standardize their 3D pipelines rather than stitch together point solutions.

Why This Launch Matters

The launch of Greneta.ai reflects a broader shift in enterprise AI. As models leave the screen and enter factories, warehouses, cities, and vehicles, the quality and usability of 3D data becomes foundational.

If 2D images and text were the fuel of the last AI wave, high-fidelity, lightweight 3D environments may be the fuel of the next. Greneta’s platform is an attempt to build the refineries.

“Our goal is to make high-precision 3D data as accessible and streamable as 2D video,” a Greneta spokesperson said. It’s an ambitious comparison—but one that captures the company’s intent clearly.

Whether Greneta becomes a standard layer in the Physical AI stack will depend on adoption, performance at scale, and how quickly the ecosystem around world models matures. But the direction is unmistakable: 3D data is moving from specialist asset to core infrastructure.

And companies that can make it lighter, faster, and smarter may quietly shape the future of autonomous systems.
