Shell Topography Module

A comprehensive metrology toolbox for the analysis of shell data (freeform surfaces).

Note: This module includes all functionalities available in the Shell Extension Module.

Analyze XCT tomography and multi-axis profiler data – ideal for evaluating parts produced by additive manufacturing and complex geometries captured by multi-axis systems.

  • Visualize curvature and surface deviations (roughness) using color mapping in the 3D view

  • Fit reference shapes such as planes, cylinders, and spheres

  • Apply a Gaussian-like filter to create a smooth reference surface

  • Compute texture parameters for freeform surfaces, including:

    • Height parameters

    • Hybrid/Spatial parameters

    • Volume parameters

Zone-specific analysis – isolate and extract a region of interest from your data to calculate surface parameters locally and conduct targeted metrological evaluations.

Mesh optimization – remesh your surface to adjust the triangle density and enhance data processing efficiency.
