Expansion of 3D Optical Profiler to Wide Field and Rough Samples

Focus Variation extends 3D optical profiler capabilities to include measuring rough surfaces and capturing data over a larger field of view.

This webinar explores how Focus Variation  — a non-contact 3D measurement method for fast, accurate areal surface topography measurement — improves operator experience and allows direct high-quality visualization of wide-field and rough samples.

This presentation explores key considerations, necessary capabilities, and technical solutions for navigating the challenges faced by metrology lab managers, quality engineers, and researchers currently using 3D oprical profilers in their work. Topics include

• Principle of focus variation;
• Metrology capabilities & boundaries conditions for best data collection; and
• Using color image information for masking, levelling surface and correlating with topography.
  
  

Use case study applications include:

• Tribology (examples: servicing labs, tribology departments, and failure analysis labs);
• Corrosion testing (examples: servicing labs, pipe manufacturing R&D, coatings research);
• Aesthetic and Perception Assessment (samples: automotive interior, fabrics, paper); and
• Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing (examples: fine-tuning the manufacturing process, printer and powder/material qualification, quality control).
