Space Bar – Worn

This pair of datasets (Unworn and Worn) provides an excellent, close-to-home example of micro-wear. The measurements are from the worn and unworn areas of the space bar on a computer keyboard. The wear has not completely removed the texture, but it is quite noticeable in this image. The differences will appear dramatically in amplitude parameters … Read more

Surface Editor Demo

This dataset is featured in our video, OmniSurf3D Surface Editor Tool. When missing or errant data features are too big or too isolated to filter out, the Surface Editor Tool lets you selectively repair the data interactively. This data includes several sharp peaks and deep valleys that skew the real data.   The video shows … Read more

Tissue Paper

This is a sample of regular, household tissue paper.  Compare the image above to the image of printer paper, also in this library: They look very similar, right? But if you look at the z-axes of both plots, the vertical scale of the tissue paper is almost 10 times larger. When you display basic height … Read more

Leaky Washer

This dataset shows a washer surface with a “ding” that is a certain leak path. To display this data appropriately, turn off data filling (Analysis > Pre-Processing > Missing Data Filling= None), then remove a plane (Analysis >Geometry/Form > Plane). This is an excellent dataset for working with morphological filters in OmniSurf3D. Choose Tools > … Read more

Ruler

Metal ruler.  In OmniSurf3D, display the Wavelength Content Graph. When you drag the crosshair across the tick marks the strong 0.5 mm period will produce a tall spike in the Wavelength Content graph (we should hope so, or this would not be a very good ruler!)   OmniSurf3D Hint: hold down the ALT key while … Read more
