3D View - the new software solution for user-friendly and fast 3D volume visualization
What is 3D View?
Dragonfly 3D View is an all-in-one tool for fast, intuitive visual inspection of 3D volumes from X-ray, CT, FIB-SEM, confocal microscopy and more. With shortest startup times and advanced rendering and animation tools, it enables operators to easily create stunning, professionalgrade animations. The ideal software to efficiently identify and document defects - e.g. for applications such as failure analysis.
You can perform basic measurements of distances, angles and more and you can analyse intensity histogram or line profiles. Visually inspect in the 3D rendered image or the 2D slices. Add text annotations or markers to point out your findings. Finally, create visibility of your results by rendering and even animating the results. 3D View stands for maximum efficiency in visual inspection and 3D rendering and animation.

Application Spotlight: Electronics Failure Analysis Workflow
From defect discovery to presentation — all in one software.
See how easy it is to set up an electronics visualization in Dragonfly 3D View.
Begin by aligning your sample using intuitive image manipulation tools that make orientation effortless. Next, adjust brightness and contrast through the histogram to clearly bring out essential features. Once optimized, identify and mark defects—use built-in annotation and measurement tools to highlight and quantify critical areas in both 2D and 3D views. Move on to render the 3D volume, applying pre-configured color maps to accentuate structural variations for better clarity. You can then clip the 3D volume to remove distractions and focus only on areas of interest using the Clipping Box or Volume Sculpting tool. Finally, export professional-quality images, complete with advanced options like picture-in-picture views, perfect for sharing insights or adding to detailed reports.
