I need 3D surface texture measurement (but a new system isn’t in the budget)

Measuring surface roughness in 3D can offer a host of benefits. But for many companies, a measurement system may not be in the near-term budget. Here’s a way to reap … Read more

My Ra values are different…should I care?

The average roughness parameter (Ra, or Sa for 3D measurements) is helpful for spotting changes in a surface or in surface-forming processes. A common question, however, is: how much of … Read more
