About RenderThat

RenderThat started as a digital agency in Aachen in 2012 and is now on its way to becoming an international SaaS company. The agency's core business is visualizations using CGI, in particular “digital twins.” The RenderThat specialists develop digital images of physical products.

The next major development step is the RenderThat Hub — a platform that allows customers to manage and scale their content more easily and conveniently collaborate from anywhere in the world via interfaces.
