Taper Angle Plugin

Enables accurate measurement of angles on sloped surfaces in 2D profiles or 3D surface data. Designed for industries such as microelectronics, medical devices, and micromachining, this plugin is ideal for analysing trench sidewalls, bevels, and chamfers with high precision and repeatability.

The plugin provides intuitive tools to define measurement regions, fit lines or planes to angled features, and calculate the included taper or wall angle. Whether for quality control or R&D, it streamlines the characterization of complex geometries and ensures data traceability and consistency.

• Precise Angle Calculation
  Measures the angle between two user-defined or automatically detected surface regions, ideal for sidewalls and slopes.
• 2D and 3D Analysis Modes
  Supports both 2D profile extraction and direct 3D surface analysis, depending on application needs.
• Automatic Edge Detection
  Detects transition points between surfaces to define sloped regions automatically, minimising user input and increasing reproducibility.
• Manual Region Selection
  Offers manual tools for fine control over start and end points or fitting areas, useful for complex or noisy data.
• Line or Plane Fitting
  Fits lines (in 2D) or planes (in 3D) to selected regions using robust algorithms, enhancing accuracy on non-ideal surfaces.
• Multiple Angle Measurements
  Supports the measurement of several taper angles within the same dataset, with side-by-side comparisons and labelled results.
• Statistical Output
  Provides statistics such as min, max, average, and standard deviation of angles when multiple measurements are performed.
• Integrated Reporting Tools
  Export visual results and comprehensive reports, including images, angle values, and analysis metadata for documentation or compliance purposes.
• ISO and Industry Standard Support
  Aligns with standard metrology practices and supports traceable, repeatable measurements
