QED.NET

Software that Powers Precision

QED.NET is the intelligence behind every QED Technologies® system built to simplify operations, reduce error, and unlock the full potential of our metrology and polishing technologies. From intuitive setup to advanced customization, it transforms your workflow with clarity, consistency, and control.

Pushing the Limits of Optical Manufacturing

QED Technologies’ metrology and polishing machines run on QED.NET, a powerful yet intuitive software platform that delivers a consistent look and feel across all systems. Its user-friendly interface helps new operators get up and running quickly, while offering advanced features that enable experienced users to fully leverage the machines’ capabilities.

Simplify Machine Operation

Step-by-step guidance

Intuitive wizards lead operators through each process with ease.

Smart interface design

Frequently used options are front and center, while advanced settings appear in pop-ups or secondary screens.

Preconfigured templates

Measurement and polishing templates can be set up offline or ahead of time, minimizing operator decisions and ensuring consistent results.

Intelligent recommendations

Built-in logic helps select the best machine and configuration for measuring or polishing your part.

Error prevention

Advanced algorithms analyze spots, MRF solves, and stitched measurements to detect common mistakes and suggest corrections, like having a QED Technologies Applications Engineer by your side.

Contextual help

A fully integrated help system provides contextual help, right where it is needed.

Streamlined analysis

Analysis Notebooks provide a simple, repeatable way to perform data analysis or pass/fail evaluations.

Desktop Software & QED.NET Toolkit

While every step required to polish or measure a part can be completed on the machine, many tasks can also be performed offline. Desktop versions of QED.NET polishing and metrology software allow you to offload setup and computation, improving machine utilization and throughput. In addition, the QED.NET Toolkit provides flexible, powerful metrology analysis tools for advanced data processing and insights.

Modern Software Capabilities

Built on Microsoft .NET

A secure, cutting-edge development platform you can trust.

Customizable interface

Dockable panels let you design the workspace exactly the way you want.

Drag-and-drop simplicity

Powerful metrology analysis and reporting tools—no programming required.

Real-time protection

Integrated 3D simulation prevents hardware crashes before they happen.

MES integration

The MES Connect feature shares machine and process data via OPC UA, giving you a complete view of your manufacturing operations.

Advanced customization

Lua scripting empowers expert users to create custom analyses and automate repetitive tasks.

Process Flow Chart

The following flowchart illustrates which steps in the overall polishing and metrology process can be performed with each of the different QED.NET software versions.

Toolkit software can be used away from the machine to enter part & surface information and analyze results.
Desktop software can be used away from the machine to perform additional setup and analysis operations and includes all of the Toolkit software capabilities.
Every step can be performed at the machine using the full Machine software itself. For more specific details, please refer to the table below the flowchart.
