GelSight wins Hexagon’s support to scale and solve industry challenges

Tactile sensing start-up GelSight crowned from Hexagon’s second ‘Sixth Sense’ cohort of advanced manufacturing start-ups. The company’s high-resolution elastomeric tactile sensor technology conforms ‘like human skin’ to the shape of an object on contact, capturing the topography of any material’s surface with greater accuracy than typical manual practices today. GelSight and runner-up CASTOR will be given the resources by multi-billion dollar technology giant Hexagon to fast-track their solutions to commercial success.
