Overview
What’s about Final Surface?
Final Surface is a high quality software product for professional acquisition, visualization, editing and analysis of complex 3d data in form of point clouds and triangle meshes. You can import data of different 3d measuring systems of various vendors and from CAD software. The software contains a variety of professional tools and algorithms for the analysis and processing of 3D data.
Final Surface is developed and published by the Society for the Promotion of Applied Computer Science (GFaI e.V.) based in Berlin, Germany.

Analyze, Measure, Visualize
The 3D software Final Surface provides you with extensive analysis, measuring and viewing functions to check and evaluate your data sets:
- Representation of contour lines and clip views
- False color visualization of point clouds and triangle meshes according to their geometric distribution
- Detect invalid neighborhoods and wrongly oriented triangles
- Detect articulation points and double points
- Measure distances and angles between individual objects
- Calculating geometrical objects and analytical geometries from 3D data (spheres, cylinders, planes, spline curves)
- Calculate intersection points, angles, volumes and surface areas of objects
