Roughness and ISO parameters >>>

Evaluate surface roughness and compute texture parameters in compliance with ISO 25178, ISO 4287, ISO 13565, ISO 21920, and other international and national standards.

Data correction >>>

Get your measured data ready for analysis and eliminate outliers, local defects, and noise using a variety of tools.

Surface geometry >>>

Analyse surface geometry efficiently and precisely using our suite of measurement tools.

Surface stitching >>>

Seamlessly combine multiple measurements that overlap on the horizontal plane.

Interactively merge two or more surface measurements taken at different heights into a single surface to effectively increase vertical range for analysis.

Sub-surface analysis >>>

Identify and analyze specific regions of interest with the same precision and depth as full measured surfaces.

Shell analysis (freeform surfaces) >>>

Import, display, and examine freeform surfaces (shells).
Conduct surface texture analysis on the entire shell or isolate specific areas for detailed study.
Compare surfaces directly with CAD models.

Advanced contour analysis >>>

Conduct comprehensive geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) analysis.
Fit elements, measure deviations and dimensions, and compare results with CAD models.

Particle analysis and more >>>

Carry out advanced surface texture analysis:

Particle analysis
Fourier & wavelets
4D analysis (surface evolution analysis over time etc.)
Thickness Analysis
Fiber Analysis
And more

Correlative analysis >>>

Conduct correlative analysis on data from various profilers or microscopes seamlessly with a single software solution.
