Who we are

We design, build, fly, and process Geiger-mode lidar.

3DEO, Inc. is an MIT Lincoln Laboratory spin-out specializing in high-efficiency, airborne Geiger-mode lidar for rapid, large-scale 3D mapping. Our technology uses heightened photon sensitivity to collect 10–30 million 3D measurements per second from high altitudes — detailed, cost-effective data for defense, forestry, urban planning, disaster response, and more.

Founded in 2014 and based in Norwood, Massachusetts, we design, build, update, maintain, and optimize systems for both government and commercial clients. We’re real people working every day to make sure what you have to accomplish is easier, quicker, and done at a fraction of the cost.

We tell the truth

If Geiger-mode isn’t right for your problem, we’ll say so. Trust is the whole business.

Accuracy is the point

More accurate data, faster, from higher up — so you spend less and do more with it afterward.
