Change one parameter at a time
Choose a surface type and adjust one characteristic at a time. This makes it easier to see which setting changes the shape or local structure.
SURFACE LAB
3D Surface Lab
Rotate and shape a surface. Six geometries, multiple views and shareable settings — a starting point for an engineering discussion.
EXPLORE IN THREE DIMENSIONS
Make the geometry yours.
Drag to rotate freely. Adjust the surface, explore a section and take the configuration into an engineering discussion.

Drag: rotate · Shift + drag: pan · Q / E: roll · Focus the model to use the scroll wheel.
YOUR SURFACE
Spherical base with a fourth-order edge correction.
Appearance and movement
Appearance presets illustrate lighting. They do not specify a material or coating. Reduced-motion preferences disable continuous rotation.
Sampled geometric height range1.499 mm
Model geometry, not roughness, tolerance or machine accuracy.
Take the geometry further.
The model illustrates shape. Function, material, datums and inspection criteria turn it into a defined engineering task.
FROM GEOMETRY TO A TECHNICAL BRIEF
Three points for using the Surface Lab.
Distinguish appearance from measurement
The view illustrates geometry. Lighting and colour are not an optical simulation and do not verify roughness, form accuracy or manufacturability. Roughness and form error
Prepare an engineering discussion
Record the surface type and selected parameters. A defined task also needs material, dimensions, function, tolerances and inspection conditions. Contact our engineering team
THE NEXT STEP
Turn your surface concept into a defined task.
Share the intended function, material and critical requirements. We can then discuss a suitable trial and inspection plan.
