About Us

We turn challenges into solutions.

At 3dvisionlabs, we believe technology should make life easier, not more complicated. Our work centers around solving real problems — not creating new ones. We focus on simplicity, reliability, and long-term value, building AI vision systems that seamlessly fit into industrial environments. For us, innovation means understanding our customers deeply and crafting solutions that truly work.

Innovation made in Saxony

Home of 3dvisionabs is Chemnitz in the German federal state of Saxony. The Chemnitz-Zwickau region, cradle for the German automotive industry is the traditional heart of Saxony’s economy. With a century-long history of industrial culture the Free State is a great place for researchers, engineers and entrepreneurs.

Chemnitz is also great for recreation. For example, the UNESCO World Heritage Natural Park Erzgebirge is located near our headquarters. A great place for hiking, cycling and above all skiing.

Innovative through Research

As a technology start-up science naturally plays an important role for us. Our core technology HemiStereo® is a result of multiple years of research in the field of computer vision. Until this day research is paramount in our daily work. In order to keep and increase our competitive advantage in the area of depth sensing, we’re continuously pushing the limits of stereo vision and integrating advanced AI into our smart sensing product.

3dvisionlabs was awarded with the seal “Innovative through Research” for the years 2020 to 2023, honoring the company’s commitment to research and education.

Award-winning Innovation

As a Chemnitz-based start-up, we have strong connections to the region of southwest Saxony as well as its industrial history. With our camera technology, we hope to make a valuable contribution to the future of this tradition.

For the seventh time, a jury of independent experts has selected the ten best in machine vision. We are honored, very proud and grateful that our HemiStereo camera has received an exclusive recognition by inVision.

The Founders

With his strong background in research of stereo vision technologies Michel provided the foundation of our revolutionary depth sensing technology HemiStereo®. As our CEO he is also responsible for outbound communication and sales. If you just learned about 3dvisionlabs you might have met Michel at a conference or on a trade show floor.

Michel Findeisen

Our Story

Every innovation has its story — and so do our industrial edge cameras. Born from a vision to push 3D technology forward, our team has grown into a powerhouse of embedded AI and industrial automation expertise. Today, we create products and solutions that transform industries.

2012

Our founders join forces at Chemnitz University of Technology, collaborating on research and publications in 3D stereo vision and related applications, including human pose estimation and indoor navigation.

2017

With support from the EXIST Business Start-up Grant, 3dvisionlabs GmbH is officially founded in August. The mission: develop a new omnidirectional stereo vision camera and bring it to market, targeting applications such as indoor navigation, public safety, and smart retail.

2019

The German technology start-up fund, Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen (TGFS), invests in 3dvisionlabs GmbH, accelerating growth and product development.

2020

Having grown to a team of ten, 3dvisionlabs launches its first product, HemiStereo^® DK1, marking its entry into the commercial 3D vision market.

2021

Market feedback drives a strategic pivot toward industrial automation. With HemiStereo^® NX, 3dvisionlabs introduces the first high-resolution omnidirectional depth-sensing camera designed specifically for mobile robots.

2023

The company launches its first 2D edge camera, C7. While this shift from 3D to 2D may appear dramatic, it represents a natural evolution: leveraging a decade of expertise to build AI-enabled cameras for industrial applications.
