Crystallography Simulator

Visualize crystallographic planes (hkl) and directions [uvw].

Tip: For negative values, use `-1`, `1¯`, or `1bar`.

Plane Information

Intercepts: (1a, 1b, 1c)

Intercepts are calculated as a/h, b/k, c/l. An index of 0 means the plane is parallel to that axis (intercept at ∞).

Visualize the seven crystal systems based on their lattice parameters.

Visualize imperfections in a crystal lattice.

Planar Density & APF

Calculate properties for a plane in a cubic structure and visualize it.
