3D Testing
Optical 3D measurement of strain, deformation and displacement
Precise and comprehensive 3D measurement data
The ZEISS 3D testing product portfolio includes sensors for the dynamic or static acquisition of 3D coordinates, 3D displacements and surface strains. Based on photogrammetric measurement methods such as triangulation and bundle block adjustment, the systems provide precise 3D coordinates for full-field and point-based measurements.
ARAMIS 3D Camera
System for industrial research
Full-field and point-based measurement of displacements, deformations and surface strains in industrial environments. Ready for use out-of-the-box.
ARAMIS Adjustable
Modular camera system for deformation measurement
Individually expandable system provides precise 2D and 3D coordinates for analyzing statically or dynamically stressed components and materials.
ARGUS
Optical solution for forming analysis
Supports the optimization of sheet metal forming processes and tool optimization. The results are comprehensive and intuitively understandable.
Ideal for product development, materials research and component testing
Make reliable decisions
The analyses provide information about material properties and the behavior of components under load. These results form the basis for product durability, geometry layout, reliable numerical simulations and their validation.
Save time and money in exam preparation
Optical sensors from the ZEISS 3D testing product portfolio measure statically or dynamically loaded specimens and components without contact and independent of the material - without time-consuming and expensive preparation of the test object. The installation of traditional sensors such as strain gauges, LVDTs or acceleration sensors can be eliminated or significantly reduced. In addition to saving time during preparation, the optical sensors also offer a much larger database for downstream evaluation of the tests.
High-precision measurements for small and large objects
The system offers stable solutions for the analysis of specimens from a few millimeters up to structural components of several meters. The measurement resolution extends into the sub-micrometer range, regardless of the geometry and temperature of the specimen.
ZEISS INSPECT Correlate
The ZEISS INSPECT Correlate software offers the entire workflow from measurement data acquisition to analysis and reporting. It combines the synchronized image and analog data acquisition of the ARAMIS sensors with the evaluation functionality of the ZEISS INSPECT software.

ARAMIS provides precise measurement data on strains, displacements and deformations, which energy-producing companies can use to optimize their systems and ensure safe operation.
Civil engineering
Optical measurement technology is widely used in the field of civil engineering. It helps researchers to obtain the desired measurement results faster, more reliably and more cost-effectively.
Fields of application
Material characterization
The precise full-field ARAMIS measurement results improve the accuracy of material parameters. Existing evaluation methods are optimized and thus become more reliable, such as the determining of flow and forming limit curves. Some material tests are only possible because ARAMIS measurements are carried out with a non-contact method and the results have a high spatial resolution. They are used, for example, in tensile, shear, compression and three-point bending tests as well as in high-speed and temperature tests.
Testing of prototypes, components and structural parts
ARAMIS is used for stiffness analyses, vibration analysis, fatigue strength tests and crash tests. The measurement results form the basis for determining product service life forecasts or load limits and optimizing the geometry layout. In the load test, the system records the real component geometry including the non-linear deformation behavior and allows a direct comparison with the FEM data.
Validation of numerical simulations
The ARAMIS sensors provide information on material properties, the deformation behavior of components and the boundary conditions of test setups. These are input parameters for the simulation models as well as comparison variables for optimization and validation. The software enables the import of FE data from ABAQUS, PAMSTAMP, LS-DYNA and ANSYS, AUTOFORM as well as their 3D alignment in space and to the measurement data.
