Pelicad offers a cloud-based platform designed to streamline the architectural visualization process by transforming 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) data into high-quality visual representations in a matter of minutes. The core functionality includes the ability to upload . ifc files, adjust materials, and integrate location data via 3D Google Maps, all while leveraging AI technology to automate the rendering of architectural styles and atmospheres. This service targets architects, marketers, and construction professionals, enabling them to create impactful visualizations for concept studies, client presentations, and marketing materials without requiring prior rendering experience.

The company primarily serves clients across the European market, capitalizing on the growing demand for efficient and visually engaging architectural presentations. Pelicad generates revenue primarily through a subscription model, offering a testing license at a rate of 100 EUR per month. This model allows clients, including architects and marketing professionals, to access the platform's suite of tools for rendering high-quality 3D visualizations. Transactions are structured as direct-to-consumer engagements, where clients pay for access to the platform on a monthly basis.

The company focuses on AI-driven automation and cloud-based rendering, catering to users who require rapid and effective visual solutions for their projects. Pelicad delivers high-quality outputs that remain true to the original CAD and BIM data, thus ensuring accuracy while enhancing visual appeal. In April 2025, Pelicad raised an undisclosed amount of pre-seed funding from new investor Bayern Kapital, alongside other investors. The company plans to use the funding to support the further development of its platform.

Future growth initiatives include designing new products aimed at enhancing user experience and expanding into additional European markets.
