About Us
Existing professional 3D software used for rapid prototyping, storytelling and visualisation is difficult to learn and to use. Using gamification features and cloud service, Block42 has developed easy to use, collaborative and cost-effective 3D engine to democratise 3D designs.
Being passionate about equipping school-aged children with the skills of the future, the Block42 team has launched their 3D platform to engage both girls and boys in STEAM learning while increasing their 21st and 22nd century learning capacity for future employability. Block42 has been adopted by multiple schools and educational institutes in APAC regions to teach students 3D digital literacy, design thinking and teamwork.
