The method of profilometry is used to derive topographical information from a surface. It could be a line scan, a single point scan, or even a complete three dimensional scan. Surface morphology, step heights, and surface roughness are measured using profilometry.
A surface profilometer measures the distinctive characteristics of a product substrate on nano, micro, and macroscales using high-precision data acquisition components. This is done using either contact or non-contact techniques.
An equipment called a profilometer is used to gauge a surface’s profile and surface finish. Surfaces can consist of a series of peaks and valleys with different heights, depths, and spacings on a small scale.
The profile of a surface can be measured using a profilometer in order to determine how rough it is. Calculations are made from the surface topography for important dimensions like step, curvature, and flatness. Because they can only analyse two-dimensional cross sections of three-dimensional surfaces, stylus profilometers have this limitation.
Surface roughness is assessed with a contact-type roughness meter by running the probe across the target’s surface. A laser-based non-contact roughness meter, in contrast, fires a laser beam onto the target and measures the reflected light. In the class of optical profilometers, profilometers do not make direct physical contact with the surface of the object.
The Global 3D Optical Profilometer Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
