Arius3D Inc. is a unique, content creation company based upon a proprietary and scalable technology. Arius3D creates the world's most perfect and repurposbale digital image content by capturing real color (independent of ambient light) and perfect geometry together. The result is photo realistic, 3D digital copies of real-world objects. The Arius3D technology has 6 patented and defensible technologies, developed through the National Research Council of Canada.

At the end of the day, Arius3D "owns" the reality end of the spectrum. Currently, the Arius3D technology is the only one worldwide that produces digital color copies of objects with precision accuracy for color and geometry.

Having secured an exclusive worldwide license to commercialize state-of-the-art, 3D color laser imaging technology, we're leading the way in creating true-to-life 3D digital content.
