Visible Marks and Surface Anomalies
Visible marks are the physical indicators of material interaction, process efficiency, and environmental impact on a surface. In the context of the SurfaceIntent Atlas, these marks serve as the primary evidence for evaluating quality and consistency.
Identification
Recognizing deliberate markings versus unintended artifacts caused by external factors or tool wear.
Severity Assessment
Categorizing marks based on depth, contrast, and their impact on the structural integrity of the material.
Quality Control
Implementing standardized criteria to ensure every surface meets the defined aesthetic and functional requirements.
Understanding the relationship between process settings and visible outcomes is crucial for achieving high-precision results in material evaluation.
