About GelSight
Innovation to the Core
GelSight® was born from leading-edge academic research. Our co-founders were research scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), developing new technologies in the fields of 3D imaging, perceptual modeling and signal processing, building a rich IP portfolio. All of us at GelSight share their drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Focused on practical solutions
Pioneering new technologies is one thing; delivering practical solutions is another. GelSight excels at both. We have a proven ability to translate our breakthrough science into well-engineered, easy-to-use products that solve real-world problems across a range of industries.
Delivering measurable value
The unique capabilities of our platform and products have earned acceptance by global leaders in civilian and military aerospace, precision manufacturing, forensics, and research and academia. They choose GelSight because we enable them to perform high-value tasks with greater ease, speed and confidence.
Surface metrology, the science of measuring and analyzing surface topography and properties, is essential to advanced manufacturing. From aerospace to automotive to electronics, it ensures product quality, safety, and performance by revealing the smallest variations that can make or break reliability. Yet, traditional surface metrology tools come with significant limitations. They are often confined to lab settings, require destructive testing, depend heavily on operator skill, or are restricted to a single type of measurement. These barriers slow down innovation and decision-making.
By combining high-resolution tactile imaging with mobile, nondestructive measurement of mechanical properties, it rewrites the playbook of surface metrology.
Manufacturers can now capture deeper insights, faster, without the compromises of antiquated processes.
