Chinese 3D AI startup Tripo raises $447m in series B

Tripo AI, a company developing AI models for 3D content generation, said on September 1 that it raised about 3 billion yuan (US$447 million) in series B and series B+ funding led by MPCi, with participation from Perfect World, BlueFocus, ThunderSoft, and 37 Interactive Entertainment.

The company also previewed Tripo P2.0, a 3D-native foundation model that Tripo said supports quad topology, which it described as an industry first, and can generate production-ready 3D objects in seconds.

Tripo said it will use the proceeds to advance its models and 3D data infrastructure, expand computing infrastructure for training and inference, and support product development and commercialization.

Publicly available records suggest the company had previously completed a pre-A round, and 2026 article headlines indicated it later raised US$150 million in Series A3 financing.

MPCi is listed by Preqin as a private equity firm, but the available profile does not identify its full legal name or whether it is state-backed or strategically affiliated.
