An entry-level digital image correlation (DIC) system to teach students how to measure and visualise surface deformations, strains and displacements in materials and shapes.

The DefleX®-2D edition offers a student-friendly solution for visualising optical deformation measurements on various object sizes. It is equipped with camera measurement and image processing software for analysing motions, displacements and strains. It can measure visible features on objects and material surfaces like screws, joints, edges, grooves and composite structures. This is accomplished with the aid of a speckled pattern applied to the relevant parts of the target surface area. Instructions for applying the pattern are given in the user guide.

From theory to reality - Seeing in microscopic detail

Combining theory, hands-on experimentation, visual learning, and technology evolution, DefleX®-3D is our teaching system helping students learn about 3D digital image correlation (DIC) that measures and visualises full-field surface deformations, strains and displacements. 

Designed for teaching, it enables students to explore material behaviour, experimental mechanics, and design validation with real-world data. Simple to calibrate and quick to set up, using two digital cameras and image analysis software, DefleX®-3D captures surface changes in real-time or playback, enabling footage manipulation and data analysis whenever, wherever.
