Autorotation and GIFs in OmniSurf3D

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.

Describing Gear Tooth Waviness with OmniSurf3D

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 for quantifying the amount of waviness that is affecting your gear noise.

Analyzing Aspheric Optics in OmniSurf3D – Tutorial

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 to determine the effect of the error on optical performance. Learn about the entire process in our tutorial video, here.

The process is very easy, but more importantly, it’s very, very fast. How fast? Check out our video here!

OmniSurf3D Surface Editor Tool

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 a Surface Editor Tool, which lets you selectively repair missing data and data errors interactively. This video shows you how the surface repair tool works, and how quickly you can clean up a dataset to get a better picture of the true nature of a surface.

XY Profile Analysis in OmniSurf3D

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 surface. This video shows how the XY Profile Analysis in OmniSurf3D provides a unique twist on cross-section analysis that makes it easier for you to find, interpret, and address trends in your areal (3D) datasets.
