Registration Statement on Form S-1
Submitted June 24, 2024
CIK No. 0001637147
File No. 333-280427
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of our client, zSpace,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules promulgated thereunder, we hereby submit in electronic form the accompanying
Registration Statement on Form S-1 of the Company (the “Form S-1”), marked to indicate changes from the Registration Statement
on Form S-1 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 24, 2024.
The Form S-1 reflects the
responses of the Company to comments received from the Staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) in a letter dated July 5, 2024
(the “Comment Letter”). The discussion below is presented in the order of the numbered comments in the Comment Letter. Certain
capitalized terms set forth in this letter are used as defined in the Form S-1. For your convenience, references in the responses to page
numbers are to the marked version of the Form S-1 and to the prospectus included therein.
The Company has asked us to
convey the following responses to the Staff:
Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed
June 24, 2024
Summary Financial Date, page 13
1. We note your revised disclosures
in response to prior comment 2. As previously requested, please revise pro forma net loss
per common share to reflect the conversion of preferred stock and convertible notes into
common shares in connection with the IPO. Further, revise footnote (1) to indicate that net
loss per common share reflects the amounts converted from debt into common shares as opposed
to convertible preferred stock.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised the disclosure on pages 14-15 of the
Form S-1.

2. Revise to remove the Pro Forma and Pro forma as Adjusted balance sheet information as of December 31,
2023. In this regard, pro forma balance sheet information should only be provided for the most recent balance sheet included in the filing.
Refer to Article 11-02(c)(1) of Regulation S-X.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised to include only the Pro Forma and Pro
Forma as Adjusted balance sheet information as of March 31, 2024 on pages 15, 53-54 on the Form S-1/A.
3. We note your adjustments here and on page 51 giving effect to the stock-based compensation expense
associated with stock options for which the service-based vesting condition was satisfied or partially satisfied as of March 31, 2024.
Please explain what this represents and why a pro forma adjustment has been included. In this regard, only stock options that vest at
the time of the IPO would be adjusted in the pro forma information. Please advise or revise here and in the Capitalization table.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company advises the Staff that the accounting for the hybrid
performance and service based conditioned stock options did not create stock-based compensation expense at the time of the IPO. As a result,
the Company has revised the Pro Forma as Adjusted information and disclosures on pages 15, 53-54 of the Form S-1/A.

revise your disclosures as necessary.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company provides the following reconciliation of total grant
date fair value with recognized and unrecognized stock-based compensation and has revised the disclosure on page F-22 of the Form S-1/A
accordingly.
