Kratos 3D Technologies

Kratos 3D Technologies Inc. is a medical and dental technology company based in Istanbul, Turkey, founded on August 29, 2022, by Emre Kaya and Gürol Afşar. The company operates from the R&D zone of ITU Ari Teknokent (Istanbul Technical University) and describes itself as Turkey's first and only startup to develop patented 3D simulation and animation technology specifically for facial surgery. Its core offering is a remote 3D surgical planning network that combines smartphone-based 3D facial scanning, AI-powered measurements, and realistic surgical morphing to support pre-operative planning and patient consultations. The platform is designed for both surgeons and patients, following a B2B2C model that integrates patients directly into the planning process. The company holds an official patent (TR 2021 01241 B) for a system and method that creates three-dimensional models and textures to enable interactive shaping or masking. Kratos 3D has also received defense approval and delivered a 3D scanning device to TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries). Its technology has been clinically validated through academic partnerships with Ege University, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, and Cairo University, comparing Kratos 3D models against clinical 2D imaging and legacy hardware scanners such as the Vectra H2. These collaborations aim to ensure millimetric precision and reliability for critical surgical interventions. Kratos 3D positions itself as a pioneer in the digital transformation of facial surgery, eliminating the need for expensive hardware scanners through its "zero-hardware revolution." The company's software is used for rhinoplasty, jaw, and facial surgery planning, and it has been recognized as a top tech company and featured in press and media. With a focus on scientifically validated biometric modeling and surgical prediction metrics, Kratos 3D continues to expand its clinical research and academic validation efforts.

Kratos 3D Technologies Inc. was established on August 29, 2022, in the R&D zone of ITU Ari Teknokent (Istanbul Technical University) in Istanbul, Turkey. The company was founded by Emre Kaya and Gürol Afşar with the goal of developing patented 3D simulation and animation technology specifically for facial surgery. It is recognized as Turkey's first and only startup in this niche. From its inception, Kratos 3D focused on creating a remote 3D surgical planning network that leverages smartphone-based 3D facial scanning and AI-powered measurements. The company secured an official patent (TR 2021 01241 B) for a system and method that creates three-dimensional models and textures to enable interactive shaping or masking. This patented technology forms the foundation of its surgical planning software for rhinoplasty, jaw, and facial surgery. In addition to its commercial software, Kratos 3D has engaged in clinical research and academic validation. Starting in 2024, Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa began a data comparison between Kratos and the Vectra H2 hardware scanner on 33 subjects. In 2025, Ege University started comparing 2D images with Kratos 3D models, and Cairo University began work on standardizing surgical experience by basing simulations on measurable data. These partnerships involve validation teams comprising professors and doctors from the respective institutions. The company also received defense approval and delivered a 3D scanning device to TAI (Turkish Aerospace Industries), demonstrating the versatility of its technology beyond medical applications. Kratos 3D has been recognized as a top tech company and has been featured in press and media, including articles on mobile 3D rhinoplasty simulation and virtual rhinoplasty. Its B2B2C model integrates patients directly into the platform, bridging the gap between medical professionals and patients. As of its latest public communications, Kratos 3D continues to advance its technology and expand its clinical validation efforts.
