1. Technology overview
Formas.ai is a Singapore-based AI design tool for the architecture, engineering and construction sector. It addresses the slow loop between early sketches, 3D models, renderings and client presentations in design studios.
The web platform (shown as BETA 3.5.0) offers a Freeform Studio for sketching and image mixing, a 3D Model Studio that visualises simple models and converts 2D images to 3D, and Instant Narratives for video clips and construction timelapses. It routes requests to specialist AI models and supports team collaboration, with a campus programme verified at 130+ campuses. Its site shows logos of architecture firms and universities.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Freeform Studio: sketching, collage and image mixing on a live canvas.
- 3D Model Studio: turns simple 3D models into visualisations and converts 2D images into 3D.
- Instant Narratives: creates static-to-video clips and construction timelapses.
- Chat routing: sends requests to specialist AI models.
- Team workspace: file sharing, universal file import and project chats.
- Credit-based pricing: monthly credits with a free tier and enterprise plans on request.
3. Potential application
Vietnamese architecture studios can turn sketches into client-ready renderings during early concept meetings. Property developers can create marketing visuals and construction timelapses for projects. Architecture schools can use the campus programme for studio courses.
4. Benefits
Combines sketching, rendering, iteration and presentation in one workspace instead of several separate tools. Imports CAD, Rhino 3DM, OBJ and other common formats and exports renders and 3D models. A free tier allows trial, and paid plans do not use customer data for AI training according to the site.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Architecture and construction firms are adopting generative AI to shorten concept design and client visualisation cycles. Southeast Asian property developers and design studios face rising project volumes and tight timelines. Vietnam's active real-estate and construction market is a natural use case.
6. Other information
Singapore-based. USD 3.98 million oversubscribed pre-seed round led by Vertex Ventures SEAI, reported 5 May 2026. Integrates models such as Google Gemini, Flux Kontext and Stability AI.
