Case Study: Firefly
Hand Layup Process
Firefly utilizes the most efficient manufacturing techniques.
''Firefly is working on the largest liquid-fueled, monocoque composite rocket that's ever been built. We are always looking to utilize the most efficient manufacturing techniques to be successful. Technicians need to be more focused on the next part to lay up, rather than complex software interfaces. Our Virtek system (VPS1 laser projector utilizing IRIS 3D software) allows for highly efficient part layup and complex geometries layup with fewer errors. Virtek is a committed partner in helping Firefly get to 1st flight! ''

Case Study: Pilatus Assembly of Aircraft Components
Pilatus’s decision to implement Virtek Vision’s Iris 3D with Vision Positioning System (VPS) has delivered significant improvements in their manufacturing process: higher process security, and precise part positioning—have made a clear impact on their operations. By integrating Virtek’s technology with their existing systems, Pilatus has successfully optimized their production line, driving efficiency and enhancing overall quality control in an increasingly complex manufacturing environment.
"Now, a higher process security is achieved, resulting in a 20-second savings per part.”
Samuel Krummenacher, Pilatus
Our Products
Virtek Iris™ 3D with the Vision Positioning System (VPS) significantly advances laser-guided assembly with innovative “Flash Align” functionality and superior laser-line visibility. Initial alignment is 20X faster and re-alignments are reduced from minutes to seconds – save time, increase workflow all while retaining quality and accuracy.

The Virtek® IRIS Truss system projects a laser template of the truss to be built onto the work surface, highlighting the position and shape of all truss joints and connector plates. This eliminates the need for measuring, squaring and stringing.
Industries: Component Manufacturing
Elevate quality control with the IRIS™ AI Camera—engineered for composite inspection and process monitoring. This smart camera inspects defects like FOD, and missing nails/nail embedment, and incorrect truss plates instantly. Capture high-definition images throughout the build process, generate real-time inspection reports, and integrate seamlessly with your existing laser projection systems for full traceability and production insight.
