Labquip partner TecQuipment has just launched DefleX -3D
TecQuipment recently launched DefleX®-3D teaching equipment, a three-dimensional digital image correlation (DIC) system designed to enable students to accurately measure full-field 3D surface deformations, strains and displacements in materials and object.
DefleX®-3D is a great tool for any materials, mechanical and structural engineering course as it aims to help students develop a deeper understanding of theoretical concepts of elasticity and strength of materials. It’s a powerful tool for helping students gain insights into material behaviour that are difficult or even impossible to achieve with traditional measurement techniques.
Ideal for Engineering curriculums
As a teaching tool, DefleX®-3D is simple to set up and easy to use. It can be used with a select range of TecQuipment products as well as non TecQuipment apparatus. The system emphasises the importance of experimentation and testing in relation to design, simulation and theoretical concepts. The system features two digital cameras with interchangeable lenses and integrated software to capture, record and measure the whole displacement field or displacement of an area of interest.
Key student learning outcomes
DefleX®-3D introduces students to advanced, industry-standard technology, equipping them with new skills making them more employable:
- High-precision analysis for learning and demonstration
- FEA validation and verification
- Understanding material behaviour and specimen quality
- Enhanced understanding through 3D visualisation
- Highlights physical testing apparatus limitations
- Develops creative problem solving
DefleX®-3D is available on an education licence for taught courses, and for research purposes up to and including Technological Readiness Level (TRL) 5.
