ALPHA DIC® SOFTWARE
Digital Image Correlation Software for Strain & Deformation Analysis
- Easy Setup and Measurement
- Real-Time & Post-Process Analysis
- Suitable for Lab, Industrial and Field Testing
- Modular & Scalable Platform
Description
ALPHA DIC is a modular digital image correlation software platform for strain, deformation, and displacement analysis. Designed for optical extensometers and DIC systems, it supports laboratory, industrial, and research applications ranging from routine testing to advanced multi-camera measurements.
The software combines real-time measurement, post-processing, and a wide range of engineering tools into a scalable workflow environment. Thanks to its modular architecture, users can configure the system according to specific testing methods, hardware setups, and application requirements — from simple extensometer measurements to advanced full-field DIC analysis.
Measurement Probes
ALPHA DIC offers a wide range of probes and engineering tools for tensile, compression, flexural, torsion, crack propagation, displacement, and full-field DIC analysis.
The software can be configured using dedicated modules and workflows for optical extensometers and DIC systems.
