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 … Read more
Surface texture analysis can be fun. You get to see new things in your data that numbers just can’t show you. Here’s a great example. Did you know that you can download 3D earth topography and imagery using OpenTopography? You can drag the point cloud data into OmniSurf3D, then add a satellite image as the … Read more
Wear testing is typically accelerated, using extreme conditions so that we can measure some amount of wear in a reasonable amount of time. That may get us a faster answer…but these conditions are not necessarily related to how the surface will function in actual use. The new Microwear Analysis in OmniSurf3D lets us compare “before” … Read more
Our OmniSurf3D software has always included the ability to analyze slices of your 3D data via our 2D OmniSurf software. 2D analysis is now built into OmniSurf3D, which greatly streamlines the process. Great visualizations and interactive tools make this one of the best 2D analysis experiences available. Check out this video to see the new features and … Read more
The Wear Analysis tool in OmniSurf3D lets you precisely define reference and wear regions, and to calculate many key parameters about the worn area, such as wear depth and wear volume. Learn about how this powerful tool makes it easy to explore and analyze a wear scar and to understand how the material has been … Read more
When we look at surface texture data from a measurement system, we have to consider whether the features we are seeing are real, or whether they might be noise or bad pixels. In this 60-Second Surface Analysis video we show how you can zoom in on a feature in OmniSurf3D software to see just how … Read more
When working with areal (3D) surface texture data, we often want to examine 2D slices through that data. OmniSurf3D takes XY analysis further than most other software. Small charts called “sparklines” help you to quickly spot trends in parameter values and show which parameters are most sensitive to the variations that occur in the particular … Read more
Have you ever loaded a 3D dataset only to find there were defects in the data? Most surface analysis software includes tools for addressing missing or errant pixels: median filters, or peak/valley thresholds, for example. But in some cases the feature just too big or too isolated to filter out. For these cases, OmniSurf3D includes … Read more
If you work in the world of optics there’s a good chance that you know a thing or two about aspheric geometries. Analyzing aspheric optics can be a challenge. OmniSurf3D analysis software includes a set of tools that make it easy to analyze aspheres, visualize the results, and export the shape to your modelling software … Read more
Gear tooth noise control is very important in many applications. While much has been said about the relationship between waviness and noise, little has been said about the specifics of detecting and describing the waviness. OmniSurf3D not only gives you the tools to extract and visualize waviness, but it also gives you powerful new parameters … Read more
OmniSurf3D includes a unique feature that lets you automatically rotate a measurement, and record the animation to share as part of a live presentation or as part of a report or slide show.
OmniSurf3D provides fast and friendly tools for extracting and analyzing specific shapes in your surfaces. In this video we show how to filter surface texture using tools in OmniSurf3D such as the Wavelength Content view.
