Roughness and ISO parameters >>>

Analyze roughness and calculate surface texture parameters according to ISO 25178, ISO 4287, ISO 13565, ISO 21920 etc. and other national standards

Data correction >>>

Prepare your measured data for analysis by removing outliers, local defects and noise.

Surface geometry >>>

Analyze surface geometry: calculate distances, areas, step heights, volumes and much more.

Surface stitching >>>

Increase profilometer range. Use stitching to expand range of all axes (including Z) and overcome instrument limitations.

Sub-surface analysis >>>

Extract and analyze regions of interest, then study them in the same way as complete measured surfaces.

Shell (freeform surface) analysis >>>

  • Load, visualize and analyze freeform surfaces (shells)
  • Perform surface texture analysis on the whole shell or extract an area to analyze separately
  • Compare with CAD models

Advanced contour analysis >>>

  • Automatically generate dimensions of profiles
  • Compare profiles with CAD data or nominal form
  • Graphically display form deviations

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 >>>

Perform correlative analysis and colocalize data from any profiler or microscope, all with the same software.
