01 3D & 4D Scanning Platform
BABETTE Pro is a fully autonomous plant growth chamber integrated with a robotic 3D scanning arm, enabling precise environmental control and high-resolution morphological analysis within a single platform.
02 What are Digital Replicas
Digital Replicas are three-dimensional (3D) virtual reconstructions of physical plants or objects created within a digital environment. They are generated from multi-angle image datasets using specialized photogrammetry and reconstruction software, resulting in accurate spatial representations of morphology and structure.
MeshTexture
When such reconstructions are produced repeatedly over time, capturing dynamic growth and developmental changes, the model extends beyond static 3D representation. In this case, the time resolved Digital Replica is referred to as a 4D plant, integrating temporal data as the fourth dimension to enable longitudinal analysis of plant architecture and performance.

04 About us
We’re a highly collaborative and supportive team, coming together on every project to ensure our clients get the very best result.
Seven years ago, a prototype was tested in a small lab of the Wageningen University & Research department of Plant Breeding. Clearly home made, but the platform scanned successfully a broccoli head.
From there five more prototypes led to the 1st generation of BABETTE Pro. This generation is operational at the NPEC facility at Wageningen University & Research.
The 2nd generation is currently operated at Bonn University in the Cluster of Excellence.
A new design arose of the first generations. This BABETTE Pro 3rd Generation now has best of both generations and a larger scan area.
Our Mission
Build the best product that creates the most value for our customers, use business to inspire and implement environmentally friendly solutions.
Our Values
We strive to go above and beyond for our clients no matter the challenge. We aim to deliver our very best work every single day across our services.
