For 25 years now,AICON 3D Systems has developed, manufactured, and supplied 3D metrology systems for a variety of applications.
Carl-Thomas Schneider and Werner Bösemann jointly founded AICON, which is initially a spin-off from Volkswagen Research and Braunschweig University of Technology. In 2003, the company moved to its own building in the northwest of Braunschweig. To meet the increasing demands of metrology, AICON acquired3D scanner company Breuckmann in 2012. A new, joint product portfolio includeds solutions and products such as portable coordinate measuring machines, optical measuring technology for vehicle testing and tube manufacturing, as well as white light scanners for contact-free surface measurement of objects.
The company’s list of customers includesautomotive manufacturers, aerospace companies, mechanical engineering companies, as well as research facilities and universities. A recent Vision Systems Design article highlights some of the systems that AICON developed that uses high-speed cameras to measure wheel and engine motion at vehicle speeds of up to 250 kph.

Today, more than 140 employees work for AICON worldwide, including two German locations and subsidiaries in China, Korea, Japan, and the United States.
Managing directors Schneider and Bösemann are optimistic looking forward. "With new technologies and systems, we will open up new global market fields and continue our course of growth."
