"Q3 was a transformational quarter for Nextech AR, as demand, production and our revenue from 3D modeling has significantly ramped up. This is evident with our sequential production of 3D models up by over +110% and our sequential revenue of 3D models up by over +192% over Q2. Our Q3 figures are showing that our 3D modeling revenue is now growing exponentially. He continued, "With the announcement of a $700,000 3D model order to be delivered in Q4, we are confident that Q4 will be another record quarter for Nextech. As it is still quite early in Q4, we do expect to announce additional significant orders in the coming weeks as demand and our production capabilities will only continue to increase into Q4, 2023 and beyond."
