Additive Manufacturing
Measure Additive Surfaces at the Speed of Production
Traditional metrology tools can’t keep up with regulated additive manufacturing.
Profilometers are slow. Microscopes miss geometry. Lab workflows break production flow.
GelSight delivers fast, portable, traceable 3D surface measurement for additive manufacturing, so teams can qualify parts, validate layers, and scale from R&D to certified production.
Measure surfaces that traditional tools cannot Capture layer-level fidelity in seconds Generate traceable, inspection-ready 3D data
Traditional Metrology is Breaking Additive Workflows
As additive manufacturing moves into regulated production, inspection becomes the bottleneck.
- Profilometers cannot access complex geometries
- Microscopes are slow and qualitative
- Lab instruments disconnect inspection from production
- Data is not easily traceable across workflows
A New Class of Surface
Measurement
GelSight brings inspection directly to the part—without sacrificing precision or traceability.
What You Can Do With GelSight
- Measure surface roughness on complex geometries
- Capture layer-by-layer build fidelity
- Detect defects traditional tools miss
- Analyze powders with particle detection tools
- Generate digital, traceable inspection records
Why GelSight for Additive Manufacturing
