Inspector-Independent Corrosion Results in Minutes, Not Days
Fovea extracts corrosion from 3D scans without CAD. Audit-ready results, 10-50X faster than pit gauges, 5-10X more accurate.
Still Using Pit Gauges During High-Stakes Shutdowns?
Manual inspection methods are costing you time, money, and credibility
Shutdown Costs Spiral
Teams work half a day per square meter while your asset sits idle. Pit gauges are 10-50X slower than 3D scanning, and most existing software cannot handle the scan data anyway.
Inspector Variability
Different inspectors measure the same pit differently. When challenged, you have no proof. Just their word against stakeholder scrutiny.
Service Contracts Lost
Competitors offer 3D scanning while you are stuck with pit gauges. You lose bids because clients demand traceable, modern inspection methods.
Unverifiable Decisions
Integrity engineers must trust hundreds of manual measurements they cannot independently verify. One mistake could mean catastrophic failure.
Reputation Risk
When auditors question your corrosion assessment, you have scattered Excel files and inspector notes. No 3D visualization. No audit trail.
Vendor Lock-In Fear
Existing corrosion software locks you to one scanner brand at $100K+ with rigid workflows. You cannot adapt to new standards or asset types.
The First Universal Software to Extract Material Loss from 3D Scan Data
Smart Extraction. No CAD Required.
Fovea is inspection software that measures corrosion from 3D scanned surfaces. No CAD reference models required, and the numbers don't change with the inspector.
The algorithms separate material loss from mechanical damage and reconstruct the undamaged surface while keeping real deformations intact. Results come back 10-50X faster than pit gauges, with 5-10X better accuracy. The analysis is deterministic engineering, not black-box machine learning: the same scan always returns the same numbers.
Works with any geometry. Any scanner. Any integrity code. Finally.
- Surface-based analysis (not point-based like competitors)
- Automatically distinguishes corrosion from dents and manufacturing deviations
- Up to 0.025 mm (0.001 in) accuracy, depending on scanner quality
- Compatible with any professional 3D scanner that outputs standard mesh data (.stl, .ply)
- Editable templates support ASME B31.G, API 579, API 653, ASME Section VIII, and custom standards
From Scan to Decisive Results in 3 Steps
Minutes to results. Not hours. Not days.
1. Scan the Asset
Use any professional 3D scanner from any manufacturer. Fovea imports standard mesh formats (.stl, .ply). No special file preparation. Scan and export.
2. Fovea Analyzes the Surface
Fovea detects corrosion, filters welds, removes bad data, separates mechanical damage from material loss, and calculates per your selected code. All in minutes.
3. Generate Audit-Ready Report
One-click PDF reports with 3D visualizations, thickness maps, calculation worksheets, and FEA export. Complete traceability that satisfies auditors and stakeholders.
Field-Proven Performance
For active service providers processing multiple projects monthly
10 minutes per sq meter vs half day with pit gauges
5-10X better than conventional methods (scanner-dependent)
Worldwide field-proven reliability since 2018
Built for Every Asset You Inspect
Universal compatibility across all asset types and inspection scenarios
External Pipeline Corrosion
Straight runs, U-bends, risers, transitions, with or without a nominal shape reference. Handles the real-world curvature that defeats CAD-based comparison.
Pressure Vessel Assessment
Spheres, cylinders, heads, nozzles, transitions. Calculate per ASME Section VIII or API 579. Export FEA models for fitness-for-service analysis.
Storage Tank Inspection
Tank shells, floors, roofs, nozzles. Supports API 653 assessment workflows. Batch process multiple zones in one session.
Elbows & Complex Fittings
90-degree, 45-degree, custom bends. Surface-based measurement follows the curvature on its own. No manual grid layout.
Combined Damage Scenarios
Corrosion + dents + manufacturing deviations on the same asset. Fovea separates them so you assess only what matters per code requirements.
Deformed & Non-Standard Shapes
Ship hulls, beams, boiler tubes, bridge components. When the actual shape does not match nominal, Fovea rebuilds the undamaged reference from the part itself.
Why Fovea Wins
Six advantages that protect your investment and reputation
50% Lower Cost
$35K-$70K versus $100K+ for competitor software. Professional-grade capability without enterprise pricing. ROI in 3 months justifies replacing $100 pit gauges.
Hardware Freedom
Any scanner, any brand versus single-vendor scanner lock-in. Standard formats (.stl, .ply) versus proprietary data. You control your technology stack.
Universal Geometries
Pipelines, vessels, tanks, elbows, any shape versus pipeline-only solutions. One software for all asset types, which multiplies your service offerings.
Editable Workflows
Support any integrity code (ASME, API, custom) versus locked ASME B31.G-only. Adapt to client standards. Future-proof against code updates.
Surface-Based Analysis
Reconstructs actual surface, separates damage types versus virtual pit gauge point measurements. Superior accuracy on imperfect surface prep.
Fully Automated
One-click weld filtering, bad data removal, and batch processing versus click-heavy manual workflows. Minutes to reports, not hours.
Professional-Grade Software at Competitive Pricing
$35,000 - $70,000 (configuration-dependent)
Fovea pricing depends on the modules and capabilities you need. Most active service providers achieve ROI within 3 months through shutdown cost savings, expanded service offerings, and elimination of re-inspection costs.
A single avoided re-inspection or one extra contract win pays for the software. What you're really buying is shutdown cost protection.
- 3-month typical ROI for active users
- 50% lower cost than competing corrosion software
- No recurring scanner hardware lock-in costs
- Includes training and technical support
- Software updates and new code templates with active maintenance (first year included)
- Multi-user licenses available for larger teams
