Eidosmedia | September 29, 2022
Eidosmedia, a developer of digital publishing solutions for leading news-media groups worldwide, has partnered with Sophi.io, an AI-powered automation, optimization and prediction platform developed by The Globe and Mail, to bring seamless print laydown automation to Eidosmedia customers.
The solution brings the entire print page layout process down from hours to just minutes, without the use of templates. Publishers can dramatically improve productivity and cut costs, all within the Méthode platform they currently use.
“The complexity of print page layouts has until now defied the easy automation that speeds the publishing of online formats. “For our customers, especially large regional groups and national titles, print editions continue to be a major source of revenue. There’s intense interest in ways to cut production times and costs in this important publishing channel.”
Marco Cetola, Eidosmedia Sales and Partner Program Director
“The fit between our print edition building routines and Sophi’s AI engine turned out to be very good,” said Marco. “We were quickly able to start training the pagination model on existing layouts, and we had the first results in a matter of days”.
“The productivity boost obtained is exceptional,” said Marco, “especially for daily publications where the page-design operation is usually running against the clock.” In fact, a typical 32-page print edition can be paginated in minutes compared to several hours for a manual operation.
Sophi-powered print automation is different than other print production solutions in that it is completely template-free. It uses smart AI to ensure that a publisher’s printed pages look and feel as though they were produced by experienced editors and page designers. Each page is designed from scratch following each individual brand’s design vocabulary. The final output is a print-ready PDF or InDesign file that’s ready in minutes.
Among those who stand to benefit from the new technology are page designers themselves. Page designers have been under pressure for some time to increase their productivity as publishers try to cut costs. With fewer hands to lay out growing numbers of pages, the designer’s job has in many cases become a stressful race against time. The automation engine will take routine tasks off their hands so they can devote more time to the front pages, features and special layouts where their creativity can really add value.
“Page automation is the greatest innovation in the publishing industry since the personal computer replaced typewriters,” said Marco.
Gabe Gonda, VP at Sophi.io, commented: “Sophi is delighted to be entering a partnership with Eidosmedia to deliver our print automation technology through the Méthode platform. Eidosmedia is a first-class CMS vendor with deep knowledge of its clients’ evolving needs. This partnership will help deliver a unique and high-value solution to some of the best newspaper publishers in the world.”

Nextech AR | September 23, 2022
Nextech AR Solutions Corp. , a Metaverse Company and leading provider of augmented reality (“AR”) experience technologies and 3D model services is pleased to announce it has launched its groundbreaking Toggle3D, a new AI powered SaaS platform that enables the creation, design, configuration and deployment of 3D models at scale. The Company sees this launch as a major milestone on its way to becoming the dominant 3D model platform and looks forward to Toggle3D becoming a new high margin engine of growth.
Toggle3D is a standalone web application which enables product designers, 3D artists, marketing professionals and eCommerce site owners to create, customize and publish high-quality 3D models and experiences without any technical or 3D design knowledge required. The Company believes that Toggle3D is the first platform of its kind, and this break-through SaaS product is a potential game changer for the manufacturing and design industry, as it provides a viable solution to convert large CAD files into lightweight 3D models at affordable prices and at scale.
CAD is a function of product engineering. Industrial designers, working for product manufacturers, use CAD software like AutoCAD, and SolidWorks to design many of the products in the modern world. The Toggle3D platform leveraged AI so those raw CAD files can be converted to photo realistic, fully textured 3D models at scale. Toggle3D technology creates optimized 3D meshes that are suitable for 3D and AR applications.
The use of CAD files is ubiquitous across manufacturing verticals including; automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, civil and construction, electrical & electronics, pharmaceutical, healthcare, consumer goods and others. According to BIS Research, the CAD market, quantified by the amount spent on the creation of CAD files, is $11 billion dollars by 2023.1...the Company sees substantial use cases.
Toggle3D uses Nextech AR’s patent pending technology AI (enabling the conversion of CAD files into 3D models at scale) as well as the Company’s ARitize Configurator product. Creators can easily transform their CAD files into 3D models, or bring their existing 3D models into the platform. Within the platform, creators will be able to conduct 3 types of projects which are all templatized for a fantastic user experience: 3D Product Configurators, Virtual Photography, and Product Demos being rolled out over the next few weeks.
To rapidly gain early adopters, Toggle3D will be available both through a free trial and pro SaaS license. A free license will give users just enough functionality to try out the platform and experiment with the technology. By upgrading to a pro plan, users will be granted full access to the entire platform. This includes unlimited projects, more materials, larger file uploads, more storage, and other advanced editing tools. It is a completely self-serve platform, that contains an extensive pre-built library of high-quality over 1000 PBR materials. Toggle3D makes things easy, with a friendly user interface that works for the user and makes the entire 3D journey seamless and predictable. The user is fully in control of their design output.
Yesterday, CEO Evan Gappelberg joined the Wall Street Reporter’s NEXT SUPER STOCK for a livestream event, where he discussed the new Toggle3D product and provided a live demo of the platform.
About ARitize Configurator
ARitize Configurator was previously only available as a managed service but now is also available as a self-serve product through the Toggle3D platform.
To use the product configurator within Toggle3D, a user is required to bring a CAD file or an existing 3D model. Once the 3D model is created or uploaded, the configurator tool makes it easy and seamless to change the colors, materials, and individual parts all in engaging real-time 3D.
