The wkl-Laser Technology: a development laboratory for physics
In 1995 Dipl. Physician Dr. Wolfgang Kirchner established the wkl-Laser Technology situated in Bergheim near Cologne Köln. The technology-oriented company performed complex development orders for third parties in the field of laser technology and also developed its own platform technologies which, due to their modular structure, allowed rapid realization of very differing applications.
Furthermore, Dr. Kirchner has been one of five authorized governmental experts in Germany for laser equipment. He performed his governmental expert tasks – particularly in checking and acceptance of laser equipment – both domestically and in other European countries.

Specialized in Laser and Laser-Based Applications
Within the wkl there had been three business areas:
- On-order hard- and software development
- Products and presentation for the stereoscopic 3D visualization
- Own Laser products
 |
 |
This included in particular:
- Several laser labeling systems
- The holographic mass saving system Optostore
- 3D data collection systems
- Various laser net parts and complete diode pump systems
RealDimensions - the "Show Part" of wkl
Objects of the REALDIMENSIONS had been the profession creation of stereoscopic 3D animations (graphics, video, and sound) for the purpose of presentation of products and enterprises on events.
Furthermore, REALDIMENSIONS offered hard- and software solutions for 3D presentations as well as for products and contents for interactive applications.
The Basis for Laserdenta
With the development of 3D scanners for the digital object registration, quasi the headstone for the future Laserdenta had been laid. At that time, the developers of hard- and software had been deploying two different measuring procedures for their new applications: Triangulation and Phase Shifting.
Triangulation (among others the measuring method of the Laserdenta OpenScan 100)
- 3D scans of any desired object up to a maximum size of 2 x 1 m
- 3D scans of any desired object up to a maximum size of 100 x 20 cm
Phase Shifting
- Individual scans up to a size of 40 x 40 x 40 m at resolution of 1 mm
