The Korean Society for Technology of Plasticity (KSTP) held a seminar at the KAL Hotel on Jeju Island, South Korea, from October 17 to 18. XTOP3D was invited to participate and showcased its core product—the XTDIC 3D full-field strain measurement and analysis system, which features proprietary intellectual property rights. The system attracted significant attention and garnered praise from the experts and scholars in attendance.
Leading the trend through technological innovation, XTOP3D attends the KSTP symposium in South Korea.
The symposium organized by the Korean Society for Technology of Plasticity (KSTP) aims to foster collaboration among South Korean academic institutions and research institutes, share the latest technological innovations and research progress, and provide a platform for professionals engaged in fundamental technology and applied research regarding plastic materials to facilitate meaningful exchange and active interaction.
The conference focuses not only on the development and application of plastic material technologies but also on other measurement technologies and applications for plastic materials—particularly the significant role played by 3D optical measurement techniques in material property testing.
Mr. Jay Park, the South Korean distributor for XTOP3D, attended the seminar. He discussed and shared insights on the application of advanced optical measurement technologies in materials and structural research. Additionally, he demonstrated the XTDIC 3D full-field strain measurement and analysis system on-site and presented examples of its application in laboratory-based material testing.
Advancing Optical Measurement Technology to Solve Challenges in Measuring Plastic Material Deformation
With the rapid evolution of computer image processing technology, the extraction of 3D data regarding materials and structures has become increasingly critical in sectors such as industrial production, automotive manufacturing, and civil engineering. By integrating optical, electronic, and computational technologies, optical 3D measurement systems offer non-contact, non-destructive capabilities, high precision and resolution, and rapid measurement speeds, garnering significant attention in specialized fields such as the measurement of elastic-plastic materials.
When researching and designing new products or manufacturing various components, a thorough understanding of material properties is crucial for reliably and effectively comparing plastic materials and optimizing forming processes. By employing high-precision Digital Image Correlation (DIC) algorithms, XTOP3D XTDIC provides researchers and R&D professionals with 3D full-field data—including topography, displacement, and strain—regarding plastic materials.
XTOP3D’s XTDIC is a vital tool for research on plastic materials. Featuring a portable, non-contact measuring head, it integrates easily into diverse testing environments—including static, dynamic, high-speed, and high-temperature settings—to capture complex material characteristics in detail. It is even suitable for mechanical testing, such as cupping, tensile, stretch-bending, and shear tests. Compared to traditional strain gauge methods, XTDIC yields richer data, enabling more comprehensive validation and evaluation of digital simulations.
At this seminar, XTOP3D highlighted its core products for dynamic deformation measurement. Mr. Jay Park presented the company’s history, technical strengths, and product solutions. Experts and scholars visiting the booth inquired about the XTDIC system and showed keen interest in XTOP3D’s industry success stories, product development, and latest technologies.
