DIC System
Digital Image Correlation for Strain Mapping
More data with less effort, Engenuity’s DIC system allows area strain mapping without the hassle of strain gauging. Used in combination with highly controlled, printed DIC speckle patterns, custom designed and manufactured Ɛ-Cams and Engenuity’s dedicated processing software, you can get instant results for properties such as Modulus and Poisson’s Ratio.
Our solutions are available to purchase or license and we offer world class support to get you up and running.

DIC System
Engenuity Ɛ-Cams are high resolution camera system for digital image correlation for strain mapping. They are ideal for several range of tests and can be used in a variety of testings.
System Features
- Built-in led lighting, adjustable light levels on flexible mounting arms
- One simple connection to each camera, all required power and data is combined into one USB-C connection
- Interchangeable lenses for different specimen sizes and dot size
- Replaceable glass lens protector cover (industry standard digital camera item)
- No fan or air cooling system required to regulate camera temperature, suitable for use in conductive carbon dust environments
- External signal data acquisition system included, can be used for synchronising loadcell or strain gauge measurements.
- Supplied in a durable storage case
