"Solids repair is the most exciting enhancement in this release," said Leon Dickinson, technical product manager for Surpac. "This functionality was requested by the market. We heard from Surpac users that they valued the way Surpac is strict in solids and surface validation, but that they wanted a tool to identify, visualise and fix problem areas within solids, particularly when obtaining solids from third party packages. Our Research and Development team looked to the gaming and medical imaging industries for ideas. The result is new functionality that substantially exceeds user requests. This is an industry leading advancement that has been extremely well received by our geology and engineering customers who have already tried and tested the software."

However, depending on how they are generated, it can be a challenging and time consuming process to go back to the original solids," said Dustin Smiley, mining engineer, Prairie Creek Mine, Canadian Zinc Corporation. "With Surpac 6.3 and its new solids repair function, the process is now fast and very intuitive as the software proceeds step-by-step to identify and correct problem areas. Thanks to Surpac, all the solids I generate are now valid and water tight."
