Product Overview

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

Maptek Vulcan plays a critical role from the very start of the mining process - commencing with exploration and geological modelling, ranging through mine design and scheduling to rehabilitation.

Powerful block modelling and integrated tools for survey, drill and blast, grade control, geotechnical analysis, geostatistics, scheduling and optimisation make Vulcan the complete mining software package.

Vulcan can manage and visualise very large and complex data sets, process the information and rapidly generate models. Sophisticated algorithms and fast processing allow virtually instant validation of data for building and maintaining up-to-date models of a deposit.
