Abstract:  
GELSIGHT, a pioneer in tactile intelligence technology, today announced a new partnership with PRAGMA, a leader in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) 4.0 technologies, to provide integrated solutions to the nondestructive testing (NDT) market. The joint solution incorporates GelSight’s tactile sensing technology directly into the PragmaFlex instrument platform, which is embedded with Pragma3D software, to provide more in-depth data and analysis of surface characteristics for NDE. GelSight’s unique technology uses 3D imaging to map surface finish and defects of any material, anywhere at the micron level. By integrating GelSight’s tactile sensing technology directly with the 3D position encoding capabilities of the PragmaFlex platform, it provides users with a comprehensive view of the valuable information they need when inspecting parts and surfaces. From there, the Pragma3D software allows for data fusion with ultrasound, eddy current scans, optical 3D scans, CAD, and more.
