Upcoming DIC Education Opportunities
Since the beginning, Correlated Solutions has been invested in DIC education. Of course, we need to ensure that our customers are equipped with the knowledge and experience to fully utilize our powerful VIC-3D systems and get the most from their investment, but we also understand that expanding basic knowledge and experience with DIC more broadly around the world helps the entire industry grow.
2025 offers a number of opportunities for those working with DIC to hone their skills. We cover 3 options below.
Materials Analysis: featuring Correlated Solutions & Phantom Academy
The Phantom Academy on-site intensive courses courses cover a variety of topics. The courses place a key focus on hands-on learning and guidance by experienced applications professionals from industry and academia. Correlated Solutions is proud to partner with the Phantom Academy to provide the digital image correlation systems used in the course.
This course is designed to provide engineers with the essential knowledge and skill set required to conduct material analysis experiments with Phantom high-speed cameras. This course includes three hands-on lab sessions and focuses on high-speed imaging setup design, 2D/3D digital image correlation (2D/3D DIC), hardware and software selection for failure analysis, and more.
