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
