Advanced 3D matching with Ensenso PartFinder software

3D vision and robotics

Discover how Ensenso PartFinder enables precise object location in 3D point clouds for complex automation tasks. This video explains how the software works, why it matters for bin picking and assembly applications, and how it integrates seamlessly with Ensenso cameras and SDK (Software Development Kit).

Learn how PartFinder uses CAD-based templates, depth and texture data to reliably identify parts - even in challenging conditions such as reflective surfaces, tight stacking, or repetitive geometries. We also demonstrate advanced features like orientation control, texture-based matching, and optimisation for high-speed industrial environments.

Topics covered

  • How PartFinder locates objects in 3D point clouds
  • Template generation from CAD (Computer-aided design data) models for accurate matching
  • Handling complex parts, symmetries, and reflective surfaces
  • Using texture data for precise orientation and alignment
  • Integration with Ensenso SDK and licensing options
