4D Sensor

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Wakayama, Japan, 4D Sensor operates within the electronic equipment and instruments industry, developing multi-dimensional scanners for high-precision measurement of moving objects. The company's core business involves providing advanced scanning solutions that can be integrated into production lines utilizing projectors and robots.

The firm's technology is engineered to dynamically capture the shape, deformation, and vibration of various objects with high speed and precision. This capability extends to monitoring large structures like buildings and bridges for distortions, as well as detecting minute movements, serving industrial clients who require sophisticated measurement methods. The scanner has applications in production environments and can also be used to dynamically capture distortions of large structures and ultra-fine movements.

Since its inception, 4D Sensor has progressed through several funding stages, starting with a Seed Round on February 26, 2012, and raising a total of $1.39M over time. The company has attracted investments from institutional and corporate venture capital firms, including JR West Innovations, Realtech Fund, Glocalink, Seiko Epson, Mitsubishi UFJ Capital, and the Japan Science and Technology Agency.
