Get ready for a game-changer in the world of design and BIM software! Vectorworks, a leading global provider, has just acquired Morpholio, the developer of some seriously awesome mobile design apps. This move is a huge deal, as it brings together powerful desktop tools with intuitive mobile sketching and presentation capabilities.
But here's where it gets controversial...
Vectorworks and Morpholio have been collaborating for years, and now they're officially joining forces. By combining their strengths, they aim to empower architects, interior designers, and creative professionals with an end-to-end design process, from initial concepts to final delivery.
And this is the part most people miss...
The founders and team members of Morpholio, who are architects and designers themselves, will now be part of the Vectorworks team. With Vectorworks' resources and commitment to innovation, the Morpholio apps are set to evolve even faster, offering designers continuous improvements and new features they'll love.
Mark Collins, Morpholio's Co-Founder, sums it up perfectly: "This partnership allows us to bring the magic of drawing to every part of the design process. We see a future where sketches, markups, BIM, and AI work together seamlessly, unlocking new creative superpowers."
With Morpholio now on board, Vectorworks customers can expect a smoother journey from ideation to execution. They'll be able to sketch, iterate, and communicate on their mobile devices while staying connected to their Vectorworks design files. It's all about design freedom and creating tools that truly understand how designers think and work.
For existing Morpholio users, nothing changes. They can keep using the apps as they always have, and Vectorworks plans to introduce new features designed for larger offices collaborating across devices in the future.
Sunil Pandita, Chief Division Officer at Nemetschek Group, sees this acquisition as a key step towards delivering intelligent, connected solutions for customers across the AEC industry. Over time, Morpholio's mobile sketching and presentation capabilities could be integrated into a multitude of Nemetschek applications, benefiting even more customers.
As Vectorworks and Morpholio move forward as one, customers can look forward to ongoing investment, deeper integrations, and an expanding ecosystem of tools that celebrate design while unlocking new efficiencies and endless design possibilities.
Toru Hasegawa, another Morpholio Co-Founder, puts it best: "Joining forces is not an additive operation, it's a multiplier. Together, Vectorworks and Morpholio can expand initiatives, reach, and long-term value in ways neither could achieve alone."
