Our and experienced team ofscientists and engineers, with direct knowledge of the industry and extensive research experience offers to the company the strengths, which will be our keys to success: high quality products and faultless customer service, large capability to develop custom applications and diverse optical metrology projects and flexibility to adapt our business to the market needs.

 

R&D is the other goal of the company. We have been combining the new product lines with some value-added improvement applications based on our wide knowledge about optical metrology and working very close with the optical department of the UPC. Due to this relationship, Sensofar consolidates its expertise on our core technologies: non-contact 3D optical measurement (non destructive measurement). With our headquarters located in the technological heart of Spain, Barcelona, we are broadening our products and sales activities through a global network based on the best partners strategically placed in Europe, the U.S, Asia-Pacific, and Japan.
