Digital Metrology’s OmniSurf3D software simplifies surface texture visualization, analysis

Digital Metrology Solutions Inc. has released OmniSurf3D for 3-D surface texture visualization and analysis. The new software provides a suite of 3-D surface-analysis tools that the company says can be mastered by metrology beginners and experts.

The package offers a streamlined interface that puts all basic settings in one place: preprocessing to account for missing pixels, several common reference geometries for removing overall shape to reveal the surface texture, filtering to highlight large-scale waviness or fine-scale roughness, and dozens of ISO and custom parameters to describe the most critical aspects of the surface.

Advanced users can zoom in on a particular region of interest; rotate, apply, and position cross-sectioning tools in real time; and alter filter parameters interactively. The software can import datasets from nearly all common metrology systems and software.
