The VIC-3D system is a powerful turnkey solution for measuring and visualizing full-field, three-dimensional shape, displacement, and strain based on the principle of digital image correlation. Using this method, 3D displacements and strains are possible at every pixel on the specimen’s surface. All systems are customized and are available for a wide range of size scales for quasi-static and dynamic events. All systems are turnkey and include all necessary software, hardware, training, and technical support to ensure the system operates exactly as expected.
VIC-3D measures arbitrary displacements down to nanometer resolution (dependent upon the field of view of the setup), and strains from 50 microstrain to 2500% and above are possible with 10-50 microstrain or better strain resolution. Specimen sizes ranging from < 1 mm to > 100 m are possible, and dynamic events can be captured up to a rate of 5,000,000 fps (frames per second). System setup is simple and only requires a quick calibration procedure and an applied random speckle pattern. No special illumination or lasers are required, and there is no contact with the specimen during testing. In summary…if we can see it, we can measure it.
