About Needle

Needle is a technology company focused on 3D and interactivity on the web and beyond. We're interested in fast and flexible workflows, reducing friction, and providing tailor-made solutions.

We believe creating for the 3D web should be as easy as creating for the 2D web. Today, great 3D tools output walled-off apps, and great web tools ask everyone to be a programmer. Needle bridges these worlds: artists keep working in Unity and Blender, developers keep their modern web stack, and everything ships as fast, open, standards-based web experiences – built on glTF, three.js and WebXR.

That's what we build every day: Needle Engine, a web engine with deep Unity and Blender integrations; Needle Cloud, which optimizes and hosts 3D assets and spatial web apps; and developer tools like the Needle Inspector used by thousands of three.js developers.

Needle Tools GmbH is an independent software company based in Halle (Saale), Germany. Our work powers product configurators, museum experiences, games, and AR/VR apps for teams around the world – from solo creators to companies like Google, Autodesk, and The Met.
