Mountains® can be used with almost all surface measuring instruments and microscopes. It is compatible with more than 170 file formats covering various data types (profile, surface, image, multilayers, force curve, hyperspectral images, voxel cubes, etc.) Should an instrument format be missing from this list, do not hesitate to contact us as it might be already developed or we can develop it for you (under some conditions).

Generic and Additive Manufacturing formats

Generic SPM format (BCR-STM) Data exchange format for SPMs
ISO 5436-2 Softgauge Standard
Universal data file (SDF) SurfStand Universal Format
Generic text file (ASCII, Unicode) Z, X/Y, X/Z, X/Y/Z or W/Z  Note: when opening/importing a text file, a dialog allows you to specify how the data in the file is organized.
Open GPS (X3P) Open GPS XML format (ISO 25178-72)
STL Triangulated surfaces (Stereo Lithography Format)
Note: 3D printing format.
An STL studiable can be imported as a shell or as a surface:
– The STL studiable is imported as a shell, if this feature is available in the product level of your software package.
– Otherwise, the STL studiable is imported as a surface, i.e. as a projected surface of the 3-dimensional object, looked upon along the Z-axis.
OBJ format Open file format for exchanging and printing 3D objects, initially developped by Wevefront Technologies.
Polygon File format Polygon File Format (also called Stanford Triangle Format).
Used to store data from 3D scanners, as a collection of flat polygons.
Format for exchanging and printing 3D objects.

Image formats

Windows Bitmap image When opening/importing an image file, a dialog box allows you to specify the size of the image in X and Y.
The image file can be kept as an image file, or can be converted into a surface. 
EMF image

JPEG image
PNG image
TIFF image
WMF image
