    Optics has a hometown.
    IDloop’s from it.

    Since the 1840s, Jena has been where precision optics gets invented — Zeiss, Abbe, Schott. IDloop is the next chapter: contactless 3D imaging built for identity, access, and industrial inspection.

    About IDloop

    IDloop is a deep-tech pioneer at the cutting edge of biometrics and high-resolution 3D scanning, transforming the way identity verification and spatial analysis are performed.

    Founded in early 2022 and headquartered in Jena, Germany — a historic hub for optical and photonic innovation — IDloop stands at the intersection of research, engineering, and real-world impact. Our work is supported by the European Union and driven by a commitment to pushing the frontiers of imaging technology.

    IDloop leads multiple R&D initiatives exploring next-generation optical solutions for a wide range of industrial and governmental applications. Among our key collaborations is a series of security-focused projects with Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, BSI), underscoring our role as a trusted partner in national and international innovation ecosystems.

    Through our proprietary technologies and partnerships, IDloop is shaping a future where 3D biometric and industrial imaging unlocks safer, smarter, and more connected environments.

    More modalities for CFS platform and selected for NIST’s FastCap

    IDloop explores palm and roll modalities in the middle of the year. The industrial 3D scanning line has expanded to include BTM one inspect and BTM flex. IDloop was also amongst the eleven finalists selected for NIST’s Fast Capture project.

    2025
    IDloop’s foray into Industrial 3D Scanning

    IDloop launched BTM-ANA (now renamed as BTM one), expanding its portfolio of 3D imaging solutions.

    2024
    CFS flats received FBI PIV certification, the company achieved ISO 9001 certification

    Our flagship CFS flats was launched that year at Identity Week Europe 2024. The company became ISO 9001 certified and CFS flats received FBI PIV certification.

    2023
    IDloop expanded its team, secured €10 million and first time collaboration with the BSI

    IDloop received a funding of €10 Million from the European Union and went into their first collaboration with the BSI (Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security). The team expanded later that year.

    2022
    In 2022, IDloop GmbH was incorporated

    At Jan 2022, IDloop was incorporated with two additional founders. That year, IDloop participated in the NIST:CRADA project, won an award at Investor Days and received Innovationspreis Thuringen under the category, “Light & Life” and was also awarded €160K at “get started 2gether” competition.

    2021
    From third place at Digital Pitch 2021 to the first proof of concept and the first investor

    Two of the founders, Jörg Reinhold and Dr. Tom Michalsky, won third place for their idea of the employment of 3D imaging technology to capture fingerprint at Digital Pitch 2021. From the idea, the first proof of concept was developed and that led to their first investor.
