Holos Foundry is available to select customers only. If your organization needs dedicated processing capacity or wants sensitive scans to stay on your own hardware, contact us to request access.
Holos Foundry is the compute layer that turns a 3D model into a trackable object: the reference descriptor that lets Holos Capture recognize a specific real-world object and follow its position throughout a session. Building a reference object is a heavy, Apple-toolchain-only job: it can take many hours per object and has to run on a Mac. Foundry is the managed fabric that runs that work, a fleet of Macs (runners) that pull queued jobs, train the reference object, and upload the result back so the object flips to Trackable in your Objects library. For most organizations this happens automatically on Holos-operated infrastructure and needs no setup. Foundry becomes visible to your team when you run dedicated runners: either capacity we manage on your behalf, or Macs your own organization operates.

​
Why a dedicated Foundry

Keep sensitive scans in-house

With bring-your-own-Mac runners, source captures and 3D models are processed on hardware your organization controls. Sensitive assets never leave your environment.

Dedicated capacity

Reserved runners mean your training jobs aren’t waiting behind anyone else’s queue. Add Macs to train more objects in parallel.

Secure by design

Runners only ever pull work over outbound HTTPS: no inbound ports, no SSH. They authenticate with short-lived, scoped, revocable machine tokens.

Managed and monitored

Enroll, monitor, and revoke runners from the dashboard. Builds auto-update, so your fleet stays current without manual maintenance.

​
How it fits together

  1. Someone on your team enables object tracking for an object, choosing a view mode and training mode. This creates a training job.
  2. The job lands in the Foundry queue as Queued.
  3. An available runner claims the job, downloads the source model, and trains the reference object locally on its Mac.
  4. The runner streams progress back while it works, then uploads the finished reference object.
  5. The object’s Trackable field flips to Yes and it becomes available in Holos Capture.
The whole flow is anchored in your Objects library: you request tracking there, and Foundry is what fulfills it. See Object tracking for the request side.

​
The Foundry dashboard

Organizations with Foundry access see a Foundry section in the dashboard with two pages:

Job queue

Watch training jobs move through Queued → In Progress → Done, with live progress per job.

Runners

Enroll and name the Macs that do the work, monitor their status, and rotate or revoke their credentials.
The Foundry section only appears for members granted the Foundry Manager role. If you have Foundry access but don’t see the section, ask your admin to grant you the role.
