Seamless collaboration with smartVIS3D
MountainsMap® perfectly complements the scanning software smartVIS3D. After completing the scanning process, MountainsMap® automatically takes over the evaluation of the acquired data. Predefined macros enable application-specific assessments and ensure reproducible results with minimal time investment.
With predefined macros, application-specific evaluations can be performed quickly and reproducibly – ideal for efficient workflows.
Efficient resource management and shared data processing with smartVIS3D enable double throughput, ensuring optimal resource utilization.

Individual workflows and automation
MountainsMap® works on a document-based system and allows you to customize each processing path individually and save it as a template. Raw data remains unchanged and can be replaced at any time—ideal for validating the same processing pipeline with different input data. New in version 8 is simultaneous data processing:
Multiple datasets can be processed simultaneously, significantly increasing throughput. For recurring tasks, batch processing is available, allowing saved templates to be applied to any number of datasets. Results and reports can be conveniently exported as PDF, Excel, or in other formats.
Software packages and application areas
MountainsMap® is modular and can be precisely tailored to the specific task. Besides the base package, numerous extension modules are available.
This flexibility makes the software an ideal tool for a wide range of applications:
-
Topographic analysis of micro- and nanostructures
-
Statistical evaluation of porosity or honeycomb structures
-
Wear and structural analyses in research and quality control
-
Comparison of measurement data with CAD models
