VI3D Labs will be presenting at the PANNDT Conference on Thursday June 12, 2025 at 11:30 am est.

"Combining Surface Feature Derived Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) with Laser Ultrasound Testing: a Novel Laser-based Non Destructive Testing (NDT) System to Scan Secondary Moisture Separators within CANDU Nuclear Power Plants"

Introduction of the new P-Series 3D scanner

The EdgeSpec 3D Handheld is a compact, high-precision laser scanning system designed for sub-millimeter accuracy without the need for external references. It employs a proprietary 3D scanning process to deliver reliable, repeatable measurements for inspection and quality control, including use in Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) zones.

Developed for industrial environments, the system is engineered to meet the highest quality standards. Its design prioritizes ease of use while delivering high-resolution data capture for detailed analysis. Consistency and precision are ensured under VI3D Labs' ISO 9001:2015 certification.

VI3D Labs Inc. Achieves ISO 9001:2015 Certification

VI3D Labs Inc. is proud to announce that, as of January 2025, we have officially achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for our Quality Management System (QMS). This significant milestone reflects our continued commitment to delivering high-quality inspection technologies and services that meet the evolving needs of our clients across the manufacturing and quality assurance sectors.

ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized standard that sets out the criteria for a quality management system, emphasizing risk-based thinking, customer satisfaction, continuous improvement, and strong leadership. Earning this certification affirms that VI3D Labs operates with a high degree of process consistency, traceability, and a customer-focused approach.

“Achieving ISO 9001 certification is an important step forward for our company,” said Chris Bertoni, Co-Founder of VI3D Labs Inc. “It validates the rigorous quality practices we've put in place and underscores our dedication to delivering reliable, high-performance systems like EdgeSpec. Our clients can be confident that we meet the highest standards in our industry.”​

This certification applies to all aspects of VI3D Labs' operations, including the design, development, Services and support of our advanced 3D laser scanning solutions. It also reinforces our ongoing mission: to provide precise, easy-to-use inspection technology that enables manufacturers to maintain quality, reduce rework, and optimize production.

As VI3D Labs continues to grow and innovate, ISO 9001:2015 certification provides a strong foundation for future advancements and partnerships. We remain committed to quality, integrity, and continuous improvement in everything we do.

New Space Research

University of Alberta

VI3D Labs is working with the University of Alberta on exciting space research using data from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellites. These satellites measure electric and magnetic fields around Earth very precisely. With this data, we can learn more about how energy moves in the upper atmosphere (the ionosphere) and how space weather affects Earth. Our focus is on studying certain waves, called EMIC waves, which may cause sudden drops in the number of high-energy electrons trapped in space near Earth, in a region known as the Van Allen belts.

European Space Agency

Satellites and astronauts in space are affected by harmful, high-energy particles, especially so-called “killer electrons” in Earth's radiation belts. These particles can damage satellite electronics and systems. Their numbers can change dramatically in just a few hours, so predicting them is critical for space safety. One way these dangerous electrons are lost is through interaction with to space plasma waves called EMIC waves which scatter them into Earth's atmosphere. As part of a project with the University of Alberta, we're helping analyze data from the Swarm satellites to track and understand these waves. Our work is helping to build a new tool for monitoring space weather using Earth observation satellites.
