Modern Scalable Software for AEC
We are a Montreal based start-up specializing in 3D software development for AEC professionals founded by Christopher Diggins.
Our flagship project, expected to be opened as a public beta on March 1st, 2025 is Ara 3D Studio. Ara 3D Studio is an interactive real-time 3D environment that puts computational design within everyone's reach.
It is inspired by parametric design tools like Grasshopper and Dynamo, but is designed to enable the generation and modification of extremely large amounts of data while maintaining interactive frame-rates.
Unlike other parametric design tools Ara 3D Studio is built on C# scripts rather than graphs. It comes with an extensive and easy to use open-source geometry library. This means your scripts and workflows can be freely reused outside of the environment, including in commercial tools or private in-house tools. You can even run your scripts on the browser.
For those with no coding experience, a state-of-the-art integrated AI assistant generate the code you want with a simple natural language input.
Send us an email to be informed when the beta is ready for download.
We offer executive consulting services to businesses working with 3D data or developing software for use in the AEC industry. Our expertise is called upon to provide guidance on:
Our CEO Christopher Diggins is an experienced computer science instructor and public speaker and is available for seminars and workshops.
We offer custom software development services for the AEC industry. Together we have many years of experience in web-development, desktop application development, and plug-in development.
We specialize in building prototypes that demonstrate solutions to what are considered by some as "hard" technical problems, such as software optimization or large scale data transformation. We are also excited to work on automating tasks, data analysis, plug-in development, and adding features to existing code-bases.
With the help of our partners we are equipped to address a wide range of technologies and project scopes.
Based in Miami Florida, their motto is "architects and engineers who code".
E-verse offers custom software development services to AEC firms and technology companies. We work closely with e-verse to make sure that we offer guidance and perspectives that are not only informed by best practices in the software industry, but that align with how users and customers in the AEC industry actually work.
When you engage with Ara 3D, we specialize develop prototypes, software development plans, and providing strategic and high-level technical guidance. E-verse advises us, provides estimates, and can offer additional software development resources as required for larger scale projects.
We manage or have contributed to a large number of open-source libraries. Here are a few of them:
