GELSIGHT, INC.

Gelsight, Inc. specializes in the design and manufacturing of high-resolution 3D surface inspection systems and associated software tools for precision industrial and defense applications. Their core capabilities center on elastomeric and tactile sensing technologies, enabling non-contact, sub-micron surface characterization using optical imaging and computational modeling. The company develops integrated hardware-software solutions, including handheld 3D surface analyzers and proprietary modeling platforms, tailored for maintenance workflows, quality assurance, and material inspection in demanding environments. Technical expertise spans optical metrology, real-time digital twin generation, elastomer deformation analysis, and embedded software publishing for embedded industrial systems, with a strong focus on enabling predictive maintenance through high-fidelity surface data acquisition. Gelsight, Inc. maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering advanced sensing and inspection technologies for field-deployable maintenance and diagnostic applications. Their work supports defense logistics, equipment readiness, and battlefield asset integrity through ruggedized instrumentation and mission-critical software systems, often under SBIR-funded research programs focused on tactile sensor integration and automated surface analysis. The company’s primary industry focus lies in analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing and other measuring and controlling device manufacturing, where they position themselves as a niche provider of optical-based surface metrology systems. Their solutions serve defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing sectors requiring precise, portable, and real-time surface inspection beyond traditional profilometry or contact-based methods. Gelsight, Inc. is a small business headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, with no government certifications on record. Operating as a 2L entity, the company maintains a focused, agile structure optimized for R&D-driven product development and rapid prototyping of sensing technologies for government and defense customers.
