3D Shape Sensing

3D Shape Sensing

Improving the accuracy of shape sensors based on multicore fibers (MCFs) is not trivial, but of great importance for real-time 3D shape detection, especially in visually inaccessible areas.

We are enabling Multicore Fiber components with lowest insertion losses and highest accuracy. 

The MCF shape sensor shows a maximum relative error of only 3.33%, compared to 5  to 10% typical  for competing technoligies.
