TableCurve 3D®
Automated surface fitting
and equation discovery

TableCurve 3D is the first and only


program that combines a powerful
surface fitter with the ability to find
the ideal equation to describe three
dimensional empirical data.

“Speed, speed, speed. 32-bit TableCurve is the


fastest program I’ve ever used. It provides the
quickest results from raw data to finished
model.”
Tom McKaige, Engineer
