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.

Nagel’s Surface Development Powered by TraceBossPro
Nagel Precision is one of the most well-known names in high volume honing and microfinishing. Nagel's Jarrod Ash tells us how the company counts on TraceBoss+ and TraceBossPro to keep them at the forefront of the fast-moving finishing industry. Read More
If many surfaces have the same Ra…are other parameters any better?
You've probably seen a chart showing how very different surfaces can have the same average roughness (Ra). So, does that mean that Ra is “bad” and that other parameters may be better? We have a look in this blog post. The answer may surprise you! Read More
The Rk Parameters – Surface Texture Parameters Video Series
Do you work with the "Rk" surface texture parameters? If you deal with cylinder bores and pistons, you've probably encountered Rk, Rpk, and Rvk. In this video we show you how those parameters are derived, and we'll follow up with videos defining additional Rk family parameters.
Rk Parameters Pt 1
Rk Parameters Pt 2
Rk Parameters Pt 3 Read More
60-Second Surface Analysis – 3D Printing
With OmniSurf3D surface texture software you can easily generate STL files to 3D print your surfaces. This video shows you how it's done.
Digital Metrology’s always been committed to helping you see and explore your surfaces. While seeing your data takes you well beyond the numbers, a surface you can hold in your hand is maybe the most helpful visual aid of all! Read More
60-Second Surface Analysis – Parameter Help in OmniSurf3D
Surface texture parameters tell us a lot about a surface and how it will perform. OmniSurf3D gives you access to dozens of parameters...and more important, it helps you keep them all straight as well! Find out how in this 60-Second Surface Analysis video.
And, check out our new Texture Parameters video series as well for fast, graphical explanations of important parameters. Read More
New! Surface Texture Parameter Videos
Surface texture parameters tell so much about a surface and how it might perform. But just looking at the equations can’t tell us everything we need to know about how to interpret the values.
This new, free series of videos helps explain the meaning of dozens of common surface texture parameters in a simple and graphical way. If you’re a fan of the Notepad Series, we think you’ll find these new videos helpful as well! Read More
Averaging results with TraceBoss and TraceBoss+
You probably know how easy it is to collect surface roughness measurement data with TraceBoss and TraceBoss+. But if you have a lot of measurements, how can you average the results? It’s actually really simple—this video walks you through the steps! Read More
