This is a measurement from the cylinder bore of a diesel engine. The surface is plateau honed cast iron and there are pores and graphite “pull-outs” present in the surface. Removing the cylindrical shape (Analysis Settings > Geometry/Form > Cylinder) reveals the cross-hatch honing pattern as well as the porosity. Areal/3D data is important for … Read more
This is a molded, aspheric lens. When working with lenses the circular cropping tool in OmniSurf3D comes in handy. Choose Analysis >Data Cropping Tool, then check the Crop to Circle/Ellipse box. You can also click the Exclude Center box to occlude the central portion of the data. Holding down the “Ctrl” key while dragging a … Read more
This is an example of plasma coated cylinder bore. The plasma porosity can be seen, as well as the cross-hatch pattern from the subsequent honing operations. In Omnisurf3D you can use the Pit/Porosity Analysis (Tools > Pit/porosity Analysis) to explore the depths of the pores across the surface. Click and drag the blue, horizontal line … Read more
