Photoneo

Photoneo is a Slovak (Bratislava, founded 2013) machine-vision company and a global pioneer of high-resolution structured-light 3D measurement. Its flagship products are the PhoXi 3D Scanner family and the MotionCam-3D, a parallel structured-light camera that captures moving scenes in real-time 3D, together with AI-enabled software such as Bin Picking Studio, Locator, and Palletizing for robotic automation. Rather than a hosted web/REST API, Photoneo exposes a developer surface through the PhoXi Control software and its official C++, C#, and Python device APIs, GenICam/GigE Vision standard connectivity, TCP/IP robot interfaces (UR, ABB, FANUC, Staubli, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki, Yaskawa), and a set of BSD-licensed example repositories on GitHub. Documentation lives in the Photoneo Knowledge Base (docs.photoneo.com) and the 3D scanning wiki. Photoneo (now part of the Brightpick Group) was acquired by Zebra Technologies.

Photoneo is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, 3D Vision, Machine Vision, Computer Vision, and Robotics.

Photoneo’s developer surface includes documentation and 10 more developer resources.
