3D DIC Systems

Let's Take a Look Beyond the Second Dimension

X-Sight DIC Systems Catalog

Alpha Strain Analysis SW now measures in space. No, not the outer space, but in 3D. So let's dig in and measure some real challenges on complex specimen geometries.

Whether it is verifying CAE model predictions, validating your FEM results or assessing mechanical deformations of prototypes, components, or specimen, now it is easier than ever to get the most from a single experiment.

FreeD

The ultimate versatility and width of usage make FreeD a 'must have' for every R&D facility.

It can be equipped with a large variety of cameras, lenses, lights, and further optical accessories. 


  • Tensile - Axial / Transversal
  • Compression
  • Bending
  • Shear
  • Torsion

Stereo ONE

A 3D expansion of our industrial top-selling device opens an opportunity to measure specimens of complex geometry or specimens showing large out-of-plane displacement during the test.

Suitable mainly as an auxiliary sensor for testing machines where it can be fixed and calibrated without re-setting for longer time periods.


CS MONO

The Camera System MONO is a straightforward single- or multi-camera device suitable for experimental validation of your designs, calculations, numerical simulations, and further assessment of various mechanical characteristics of your machines, assemblies, and structures.

Equipped with the Alpha strain analysis software, MONO provides precise realtime measurement, prompt deformation analysis, and delivers results with nanometric resolution.
