Grounded in the latest research, this eBook provides a close examination of how advanced 3D optical profilometry - particularly non-contact techniques like white light interferometry - can reveal surface details that traditional 2D metrics, such as average roughness (Ra), often overlook. Whether you're working with highly engineered microlenses or intricate medical implants, these technologies expose fine surface features that play a critical role in performance, durability, and manufacturing precision.
For fields such as medical devices, precision optics, and high-performance materials, having a full 3D view of surface topography provides engineers with the clarity they need to accurately predict how components will behave in real-world use. From boosting the wear resistance of orthopedic implants to optimizing the light-handling capabilities of microlens arrays, surface metrology helps close the gap between design goals and actual outcomes.
Download the eBook to dive into advanced measurement techniques, see where traditional approaches fall short, and get practical guidance on how to bring 3D surface metrology into your R&D or production environment. Go beyond surface-level metrics and ensure your measurements capture the whole picture.
