Explore and understand your measurement data

Digital Metrology provides innovative measurement software, custom-tailored metrology systems, consultation and training to help you acquire and apply your measurement data. The value of metrology isn’t in the results—it’s in how you interpret the data. We help you get the information you need, then apply it to solve challenges in R&D, product development, and production.

solutions

With 30 years of metrology software and instrumentation development experience and an extensive network of university and industry resources, Digital Metrology can handle the toughest metrological and mathematical challenges.

training

Digital Metrology provides customized measurement training sessions at your location. Topics cover the full range of surface and geometry specifications and measurement. We use your data in the training – adding even greater relevance.

consulting

Let’s face it: we can’t be experts in everything.  You need to focus on what affects your bottom line. Digital Metrology consultants focus on the specification and measurement of dimensional and surface geometries. Let’s work together.

Don’t be fooled by your measuring microscope!

Measuring microscopes (or “optical dimensional microscopes”) can be used to measure lateral features like circumferences. Some also report 3D surface roughness statistics...but there's a big difference between optical dimensional measurement and optical surface texture measurement. OmniSurf3D software can help you to verify that the measured feature heights are "real" — see how in this Surface Notes blog post.   Read More

Free Webinar: Surface Finishes When Reconditioning Engine Components

On Thursday, Aug 1, join us for the free webinar, "Looking Beneath The Surface – Ensuring Proper Surface Finishes When Reconditioning Engine Components.  
 
Total Seal’s Lake Speed Jr., LN Engineering’s Charles Navarro, and Digital Metrology's Mark Malburg will discuss the importance of correct surface finishes in reconditioning engine components. Topics will include honing, cleaning, and measurement techniques to ensure proper function, and techniques to determine if critical surfaces have been properly prepared for reassembly.

Wear Analysis Tool

You have a worn component...but worn by how much? Or, perhaps you have several parts that have worn differently, and you need to know why. 

The new Wear Analysis tool in OmniSurf3D lets you see the wear and describe it numerically, in just a few clicks. It can even handle complex underlying geometries. 

See it in action in this video!

60 Second Surface Analysis – 3D Printing Surface Data

Viewing surface data in OmniSurf3D software is almost the best way to see and explore it. But you can take it one step further and 3D print a surface that you can actually hold in your hand. In this video we show you how you can 3D print surface texture from OmniSurf3D that you can see, touch, and share.
