Overview

XGRIDS is a pioneering tech expert at the forefront of 3D intelligent spatial computing. It is committed to delivering innovative tools and development platforms for 3D content production. By transforming cutting-edge spatial intelligence into market-ready solutions, it aims to enhance model production and operational efficiency across industries, driving the broader adoption of 3D technologies worldwide. At the core of XGRIDS' success is its proprietary intelligent spatial computing technology system. The company has introduced multiple industry-leading products, including the Lixel Series scanners (the world's first-generation handheld scanning and modeling devices with real-time on-device computing capabilities) and Lixel CyberColor (the first 3D content production solution powered by SLAM and 3DGS). Currently, XGRIDS leverages a suite of AWS services, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon CloudFront, and Amazon FSx for Lustre.

Breaking On-Premises Limitations With Cloud Elasticity and Scalability

Dedicated to building the infrastructure for 3D intelligent spatial computing, XGRIDS focuses on three core pillars: efficient and precise spatial data acquisition, intelligent 3D model production, and cloud-based one-stop data rendering and transmission. Together, these hardware and software capabilities enable fast, end-to-end 3D content production and application across industries. Today, XGRIDS delivers high-precision 3D reconstruction and intelligent spatial computing across scales from micrometers to kilometers, supporting the entire 3D workflow from scanning and reconstruction to processing and application.

XGRIDS' innovation centers on high-precision 3D spatial data acquisition and intelligent modeling for different real-world scenarios, including geographic surveying and mapping, natural resource management, digital preservation of cultural heritage, smart-city development, film and entertainment production, and manufacturing. However, as the company expanded, the absence of a stable, secure, and technically proficient long-term partner exposed several challenges with cloud resource configuration and operational costs:

Unbalanced compute demand and cloud resources: XGRIDS struggled to find cloud resources that could simultaneously satisfy multi-region distribution and intensive compute requirements.
Rising costs: Rapid business expansion pushed up on-premises server spending and cost optimization efforts.
Heightened risks due to server instability: Unreliable resource supply affected business continuity and delivery efficiency, while the risk of sudden downtime from certain providers added additional uncertainty.

To resolve its computing and storage constraints, XGRIDS turned to AWS. AWS's globally distributed, multi-node infrastructure supports cross-regional operations while meeting local data privacy requirements. At the same time, AWS offers superior data security and compliance, a well-established global ecosystem, and mature remote and onsite support, which are fundamental for XGRIDS' technological and operational advancements.

Solution

AWS Brings New Technical Momentum to 3D Reconstruction

By adopting AWS's data and storage services, XGRIDS applies a cloud-based solution that provides a more flexible, globally distributed cloud-based architecture than the traditional architecture with only on-premises servers, optimizing both cost control and customer experience. Users access its system via a web portal, uploading their 3D data to AWS storage. Cloud resources are then orchestrated to execute reconstruction tasks, producing 3D outputs for viewing and download. During the trial phase, XGRIDS achieved growth in both its user base and overall usage time.

Faster rollout of new services: After completing cloud deployment on AWS, XGRIDS can now scale resources on demand, significantly accelerating the launch of new services.
Guaranteed data security: Backed by AWS's comprehensive data security services, XGRIDS enhances system reliability and availability.

Success

AWS Empowers XGRIDS' Global Expansion With Robust Cloud Services

As XGRIDS' global user base and data volume continue to grow, its demand for scalable and reliable resources has risen. AWS's underlying technical architecture provides XGRIDS with three core benefits:

Higher availability of compute resources: By leveraging AWS's compute resources, XGRIDS now enjoys higher resource availability and may scale on demand and at ease.
Lower costs: Compared to the previous on-premises setup, migrating to the cloud sharply reduced hardware investment and maintenance costs, optimizing daily operational expenses.
Faster project delivery: AWS's global nodes, coupled with flexible and efficient deployment, have shortened delivery cycles while improving service stability and reliability.

For companies operating globally, having a cloud platform with robust security, compliance readiness, and comprehensive support is essential for maintaining long-term competitiveness. Looking ahead, AWS will remain a reliable partner of XGRIDS to accelerate its growth in the global spatial intelligence market and, in response to the AI revolution, will continue to support XGRIDS' efforts to strengthen the intelligent "perceive-understand-decide-act" loop for real-world AI applications.
