A roughness profile and a set of parameters can tell you a lot about a surface texture. But you may also need to see the actual surface to know how well the tool is cutting, whether it’s smearing the metal, or creating torn and folded metal. TraceBoss+ lets you analyze your surfaces by the numbers, … Read more
The new Interactive Cropping tool in OmniSurf3D lets you rotate your surface texture data to quickly line up the cropping tools to the data. It’s a great time-saver that helps you get to the answers you need, fast.
To get to the surface roughness data we want, we need to focus on the part of the profile that matters. OmniSurf software includes several tools for quickly and easily selecting a region for analysis. We’ll show how to use those tools in this 60 Second Surface Analysis video.
The Stylus Simulation tool in OmniSurf3D surface analysis software predicts what a stylus will see as it moves over a surface texture. In this video we use an artificially exaggerated surface to demonstrate how the tool works, what it can show you, and how it helps bridge the gap between optical and stylus measurement technologies.
The 60-second Surface Analysis series offers quick tips and techniques for analyzing surface texture, shape, and roundness. In this video we show how to load data from OmniSurf3D into a PowerPoint presentation in just a few clicks. It’s an incredible time-saver, especially when you have a large amount of data to share.
OmniSurf3D makes it easy to open several datasets to compare—a feature you don’t always get in other software. But even better, you can copy settings from one dataset to another with a click…so you’ll always know that you’re comparing apples and apples. We show you how to do it in this video.
