Motion capture installations optimise production processes, improve quality control and streamline automation.

This technology enables detailed tracking of tools, components, and machinery, ensuring accuracy and efficiency on the factory floor.

 

For example, Target3D’s work with Loughborough University utilised mocap to refine 3D-printed concrete manufacturing, ensuring precision in construction applications.

 

Our installation for Made In Space, Inc. in Luxembourg supported robotic manufacturing in simulated space conditions, showcasing advanced tracking for cutting-edge production.

 

Additionally, the Prorok Lab at the University of Cambridge benefitted from a 12 camera OptiTrack system to track autonomous robots, enhancing manufacturing research.
