About SL3D
SL3D Gesellschaft für 3D-Konstruktion & Reverse Engineering mbH is a second-generation family company based in Gummersbach. The company provides services in the fields of optical metrology, quality assurance, reverse engineering and 3D design. Its core service is the contactless, full-surface and material-independent optical 3D measurement of components and tools, in which the entire geometry is captured as a high-resolution point cloud. Building on this, SL3D produces nominal-actual comparisons (false-color comparisons), wall thickness analyses, initial sample inspection reports (EMPB) and CAD data where no design documentation exists (reverse engineering). In addition, the team develops production-ready CAD designs and assemblies, domes (bombs) CAD data or generates counter-forms to compensate for component deformation, and performs photogrammetry measurements. With mobility and flexibility, SL3D positions itself as a service partner across Europe.

Processes & Services
Optical 3D measurement / 3D digitization
Contactless, full-surface and material-independent capture of the component geometry as a high-resolution point cloud.
Quality assurance
False-color comparison, nominal-actual comparison, wall thickness analyses and initial sample inspection reports (EMPB) based on the scanned data.
Reverse engineering / surface reconstruction
Creation of CAD data for components or tools for which no CAD data exists.
3D design
Production-ready CAD design and assembly development for the implementation of product ideas.
Counter-forms / doming
Doming (boming) or generating counter-forms of CAD data to counteract deformation of the component.
Photogrammetry
Optical measurement method for capturing larger objects and measuring points as a complement to 3D measurement.
