3D surface topography measurement, handheld and built for production.

GelSight is a handheld 3D topography measurement system built on an exclusive elastomeric sensing platform, delivering precise, traceable surface inspection directly on the shop floor.

Surface defects on high-value components don’t always announce themselves, and by the time they’re picked up in the lab, the part has often already moved on. GelSight closes that gap, putting precise, traceable surface inspection directly in the hands of the person who needs it, right where the part is.

Elastomeric Platform

At the core of GelSight’s digital touch technology is it’s exclusive elastomeric platform. This generates a soft, high-resolution tactile sensor that mimics human skin, conforming to the contours of an object upon contact and accurately recording the surface’s topography.

Digital Touch

Data captured by the elastomeric sensor is processed instantly within GelSight’s own operating system, producing comprehensive 3D characterisation on the spot. No controlled lighting required, no specialist surface preparation and no return trip to the metrology lab. Handheld and built for the shop floor, it’s equally suited to large assemblies and fixed structures, including aircraft fuselage panels – where taking the part to the lab simply isn’t an option.
