Technology & Products
Key Products
REFLECON® TARNISH Type 1 (Sublimating); REFLECON® TARNISH Type 2 (Permanent); REFLECON® TopoTrack 2in1; REFLECON® ECO LINE (Water-based); NDT Consumables; Industrial hygiene products
Technological Advantage
Proprietary chemical matting formulations optimized for 3D laser scanning on challenging surfaces (reflective, transparent, dark geometries); REFLECON® TopoTrack 2in1 reduces scanning process time by eliminating reference-point setup and enabling faster scanner guidance. Advantage type: proprietary formulations and trade secrets (not patented in available sources).
Differentiation
