Three-Dimensional Surface Analysis
3D measurement technology refers to methods for spatially capturing micro- and nanostructures on workpieces. Unlike traditional measurement methods, it provides complete topographical information and enables the analysis of roughness, structure, and form deviations.
Optical methods, particularly white-light interferometry, allow fast and contactless evaluation of a wide variety of materials. The technology is suitable for both production control and laboratory applications.
Industry-Specific Applications of 3D Measurement Technology from GBS
Machining
Roughness measurements and microstructure analyses of machined metal surfaces enhance process reliability and document surface quality in series production.
Polished and structured wafers are examined with high-resolution sensors for the finest topographies and defects, ensuring the reliability of semiconductor processes.
Tool and Mold Making
Cutting edges of mills, turning tools, and indexable inserts are optically measured for contour, edge radius, and wear to monitor tool life and machining quality.
Implant surfaces and medical components are evaluated for roughness, topography, and structure to ensure biocompatibility and proper function.
Lenses, prisms, and mirrors are checked for shape accuracy and surface quality, ensuring imaging performance and functionality of optical systems.
3D-printed components are examined for surface roughness, dimensional accuracy, and defects to meet functional and post-processing requirements.
Tribology
Wear surfaces, bearing tracks, and protective coatings are optically measured and documented for material loss, surface structures, and layer failures.
Research and Development
Prototypes, innovative materials, and microstructures are characterized in detail to analyze and further develop material properties.
Electronics Manufacturing
Component surfaces and solder joints are inspected for parallelism, structure, and defects, ensuring the functionality of electronic components.
