The Fort Worth Press - Nextech3D.ai Achieves Cash Flow Positive Operations After AI‑Enabled Optimization; Blockchain Ticketing With Fiat Checkout Ready

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / April 14, 2026 / Nextech3D.ai (OTCQB:NEXCF)(CSE:NTAR)(FSE:1SS) ("Nextech3D.ai" or the "Company"), a leader in generative AI‑powered event solutions and 3D modeling, today announced it is cash flow positive today and has completed a company‑wide AI‑enabled operational optimization program. The Company expects its annualized cost savings run‑rate to reach approximately $400,000 once remaining initiatives are fully implemented by May 1, 2026, subject to completion of those initiatives and the assumptions described in this release. Nextech3D.ai also announced its blockchain‑based ticketing platform-including a payment gateway and custodial wallet-is now production‑ready, supporting partner integrations across its unified event technology ecosystem.

This milestone marks a major inflection point as Nextech3D.ai transitions to a lean, AI‑first operating model built for scalability, execution speed, and sustainable profitability.

Evan Gappelberg, CEO and Director of Nextech3D.ai comments

"Becoming cash flow positive is a defining inflection point for Nextech3D.ai. It confirms our AI‑driven operating model is working-and it gives us the leverage to scale. We've rebuilt the company into a lean, high‑velocity, AI‑first platform business, and we believe we're now positioned to accelerate disciplined growth through our unified event technology stack and production‑ready blockchain infrastructure."

- Evan Gappelberg, CEO and Director of Nextech3D.ai

AI‑Led Cost Transformation Drives Financial Inflection

The Company achieved these results through AI‑enabled automation across product development, engineering, and go‑to‑market functions, combined with organizational restructuring to eliminate operational redundancy.

Management estimates these initiatives materially reduce cash burn while preserving innovation velocity-creating a structurally stronger operating model.

Cash Flow Positive as of May 1

With the completion of this transformation, Nextech3D.ai expects to be cash flow positive as of May 1, 2026, representing the first time in the Company's history it has reached this milestone.

Unified Event Platform Accelerates Growth Strategy

Nextech Event Solutions is preparing to launch a unified, end‑to‑end event technology platform, consolidating booth sales, interactive floor plans, registration, ticketing, badge printing, lead retrieval, and engagement tools into a single integrated system.

This platform‑level integration is designed to improve performance, enable cross‑sell opportunities, and increase customer lifetime value.

MAPD 2.0 Launch Imminent

The Company also confirmed that MAPD 2.0, its next‑generation booth sales and interactive floor plan platform, is scheduled to launch later this month-enhancing exhibitor engagement and event monetization capabilities.

Blockchain Ticketing Infrastructure Now Production‑Ready

Nextech3D.ai also announced that its blockchain‑based ticketing infrastructure is now fully operational, with the payment gateway and custodial wallet completed.

This readiness unlocks new opportunities to:

• Support secure, transparent ticketing at scale

• Enable partner and enterprise integrations

• Expand monetization models and strategic partnerships

The Company believes blockchain ticketing strengthens its platform differentiation while creating optionality for future revenue streams and partner‑driven growth initiatives.

Expanding an Integrated Event Technology Ecosystem

Following the acquisition of Krafty, Nextech3D.ai continues integrating experiential offerings-such as curated tastings, gifting, and interactive experiences-directly into its event platform, further expanding its ecosystem approach.

Positioned for Disciplined, Scalable Growth

With a reduced cost base, cash flow positive operations, an expanding unified platform, and blockchain ticketing infrastructure now live, Nextech3D.ai believes it is well positioned to pursue disciplined, scalable growth while continuing to advance innovation across the event technology market.
