MountainsMap 11.2

MountainsMap 11.2: Surface Analysis & Metrology Software

MountainsMap 11.2 is the latest release of Digital Surf's industry-standard software for 2D/3D surface texture analysis and metrology, released on April 16, 2026 . It is the gold standard for use with profilometers, confocal microscopes, white light interferometers, and other surface measuring instruments .

What's New in Version 11.2

Enhanced 3D Visualization

• New 3D Amplification Factor: Apply custom vertical scaling for consistent visual comparison of height variations across different surfaces, with compatibility across studiables (datasets) and series .

Workflow & Usability

• Rename Studies & Operators: Full control over displayed titles for clearer documentation and easier workflow understanding .

• Improved Document Closing: Save all modified documents at once with clearer confirmation dialogs and visible keyboard shortcuts .

• Show/Hide Parameter Tables: Choose to display only filtered studiables, avoiding duplicate display in further analysis .

Profilometry Enhancements

• Enhanced Extract Areas: Work in absolute or relative units with new position controls; new ring-shaped area extraction option; crop to exclude non-measured points .

• Result Picker Integration: Dynamically position areas based on variable results (e.g., around maximum peaks) for automation and batch processing .

• Enhanced Multi-scale Filter Bank: New low-pass (S-filter) and high-pass (L-filter) capabilities for progressive removal of roughness or waviness components; generate series of surfaces to explore structures across different spatial scales .

Contour Analysis Improvements

• Extract Local Contour: Clearer dialog with help infobubbles; visible detection line; improved edge pairs detection .

• Parameter Calculation: Evaluation length now applied at workflow start, ensuring only selected profile portions influence results .

ActiveX Integration

• Automatic color theme synchronization between MountainsMap and acquisition software; add-ons can now break across pages (ideal for long parameter lists) .

Core Capabilities

• Roughness & ISO Parameters: Calculate ISO 25178 (3D) and ISO 4287/ISO 21920 (2D) parameters; support for ASME, GB/T, DIN, JIS, NF, and other national standards .

• Data Correction: Leveling, outlier removal, thresholding, deconvolution, missing data filling, and surface smoothing .

• Surface Geometry: Distance, angle, volume, step height, and coplanarity measurements .

• Surface Stitching: Combine overlapping measurements horizontally or patch measurements at different heights vertically .

• Freeform Surface Analysis: Import/analyze shells in STL, OBJ, PLY, 3MF formats; CAD comparison, form fitting, and curvature visualization .

• Advanced Contour Analysis: ISO 1101-compliant GD&T; CAD comparison; Gothic arch analysis for bearings .

• Particle & Fiber Analysis: Automated detection and quantification of particles, pores, and fibers .

• Correlative Analysis: Compare data from profilometers, SEM, and AFM in a single environment
