Scientific visualization software for 2D and 3D data modeling, mapping, and graphing.
Golden Software develops, sells, and supports scientific visualization software for scientists and engineers, helping them turn complex data sets into maps, graphs, and 3D models for technical communication. Founded in Golden, Colorado in 1983, the company offers two main products: Surfer for mapping and 3D surface modeling, and Grapher for data graphing. The software is used in environmental services, engineering consulting, resource exploration, and university settings.
Surfer provides modeling tools for terrain, bathymetric and landscape visualization, surface analysis, contour mapping, watershed and 3D surface mapping, gridding, viewshed analysis, and geostatistical functions. Grapher handles data graphing and visualization. Both products are available as Windows desktop software with free trials.
