Vulcan

Maptek Vulcan, the world’s premier 3D mining software solution, allows users to validate and transform technical data into dynamic 3D models, accurate mine designs and operating plans.

Whether developing day to day or long term mine plans, operations need to know where and when to mine. The Vulcan 3D visualisation environment helps better understand mining projects, with interpretations and results providing decision support for productive and profitable mining operations.

Vulcan can manage and visualise very large and complex datasets, process the information and rapidly generate models. Sophisticated algorithms enable virtually instant validation of models, allowing users to build a continuous and up-to-date picture of a deposit.

Running animations and exploring alternative scenarios based on various resource and economic values is the most productive approach to developing practical mine plans that maximise resource recovery.
