OmniSurf3D

3D surface texture analysis software



 “OmniSurf3D is simple, very easy to use, and gives incredibly detailed results.

Daniele DeFranceschi, professor, School of Engineering at St. Clair College

Explore and understand your surface data

OmniSurf3D is powerful software for exploring and interacting with areal 3D surface texture data. Fast, visual, and easy to learn, OmniSurf3D lets you see your surfaces like never before.

OmniSurf3D makes it easy for non-experts to learn and use, but it also includes rich analysis capabilities to satisfy power users as well. And, it costs thousands less than competing software, with all features included, right out of the box. 

Digital Metrology OmniSurf3D Surface Texture Analysis Software - Rotation and Animation

Offline analysis software you can use at your desk

Analyze data from hundreds of instruments

Extremely easy to learn

Loaded with powerful, unique features

Thousands of dollars less than competing software

Analyze surface texture data anywhere

A lot of us analyze data right on the instrument, with the software it came with. That software excels at acquiring data, but the analysis capabilities often fall short. The output may just be a few basic parameters or simple graphics.

OmniSurf3D takes surface analysis away from the measurement instrument. It lets you analyze data at your desk, on the factory floor, wherever you need to see results. Omnisurf3D provides tools that let you interact with data as easily as if you were holding it in your hands. Settings are a click away, and easy to understand.

The result: surface texture data that’s easy to visualize and share—with your team, your customers, and management.

I really am enjoying working with your software. It is so easy to use and much more user friendly than the software that came with our measurement system.”

Carrie Rowe, University of Minnesota’s Department of Anthropology

 

Analyze data from virtually any instrument

OmniSurf3D handles data files from hundreds of measurement instruments, in dozens of file formats—even XYZ point clouds. Now you can analyze data on one common, easy-to-use platform, and share it with everyone that’s involved in part design, production and quality..

Easy-to-learn interface guides you through analysis

Most surface texture software hits you with a daunting array of settings that can dramatically affect data in difficult-to-interpret ways.

OmniSurf3D is designed to make exploring data easy, whether you’re new to surface texture or a metrology expert. It guides you through the steps of processing, with an intuitive interface that shows the results in real time. You can see how your analysis affects the results—so you can see how the texture affects your component’s performance.

OmniSurf3D’s Pre-Processing cleans up missing pixels and outliers quickly and preserves data integrity in the process.

To say I’m impressed with the 3D software would be an understatement.

– Optics Specialist and OmniSurf3D user

To see surface texture, you need to first remove the nominal shape. OmniSurf3D provides a range of geometry options to match most surfaces and reveal the underlying surface details.

OmniSurf3D has a number of very clever features and tools that aren’t found in most others software. And, it’s faster than anything I’ve seen with complex calculations, filtering etc.”

– Don Cohen. President Michigan Metrology, LLC

OmniSurf3D helps you to quickly filter surface texture so you can focus on the wavelengths that matter for your application, from short-wavelength roughness to longer wavelength waviness and form. Change the cutoff wavelengths with a click. You can even view waviness superimposed over roughness! 

The Wavelength Content graph—unique to OmniSurf3D—shows you the wavelengths in your data more clearly and intuitively than in any other software.

The Wavelength Content graph on the left shows a strong peak due to turning marks. After polishing (right) the peak has been removed.

Rich visualizations help you see texture. Real numbers help you control it. OmniSurf3D has you covered, with the parameters you need to specify and control surface texture. OmniSurf3D calculates dozens of standard ISO Parameters as well as unique parameters tailored for particular applications. You can configure the output to display as few or as many parameters as your application requires.

Batch process measurement files, fast

If you deal with large amounts of data you know how grueling it can be to process individual data files. OmniSurf3D is lightning-fast at handling large, 3D datasets. Import, analyze, and save multiple files with drag-and-drop simplicity.

Batch processing is one of its most powerful features. It’s as easy as any function like this should work.”

– Joe O’Hearn, Process Engineering Manager, Supfina North America



Powerful visuals bring texture to life

OmniSurf3D is loaded with features that make data easy to interpret, analyze, and share. Here are just a few of the dozens of features in OmniSurf3D that will change how you look at surface texture data!

See the impact of your analysis

Side-by-side comparison let you see the effects of all of your analysis steps. It’s the fast way to see the “before” and “after” for everything you do in OmniSurf3D.


Cross-sectioning

Creating an XY profile through data is as easy a dragging a cursor. Once you’ve selected the profile you can view heights and widths anywhere along the trace.

The cross-section tool even shows you the minimum pixel resolution of the measurement instrument, displayed as dots along the profile. It’s unique to OmniSurf3D, and it’s a great way to help interpret measurements, especially for small features.

Need even more profile analysis? One click will export the current profile to Digital Metrology’s world-renowned OmniSurf (2D) software package
(sold separately, or included as a bundle).

Rotation and Animation

OmniSurf3D lets you spin data as if you’re holding it your hand. But it goes further, too, letting you animate the motion, record it, and drop it into a presentation to share. It’s a powerful tool for describing texture and for showing how it relates to function—even for an audience that is new to surface texture.

Interactive Filtering

Every surface is made up of a range of wavelengths. OmniSurf3D lets you see the wavelengths that affect your application, at a glance. Now you can see, specify, and control the critical wavelengths for any application. There’s never been an easier tool to show what’s in your data!

Cropping

The most interesting data in a measurement may be just a particular region. In OmniSurf3D, just click and drag to crop to the area of interest, so you can focus on the information that matters.

The changes can be undone as well, so you won’t lose any of the original data.


Image Overlay

Seeing a map of a surface provides far more information than just a parameter value. But viewing a surface in its “true colors” really helps us to relate to data. Side-by-side views of the height map and the image reveal greater detail than a false-color map can ever do.
