WipJoint is Back and Better Than Ever!
We’re excited to announce the newest update to WipFrag – bringing back and modernizing one of our most powerful features: WipJoint. WipJoint was originally part of WipFrag 2.7, but never reached the full functionality we wanted for it due to limitations with what software and camera hardware could do back in those days. Now with the added capabilities of today’s technology we have reimagined and reintegrated this powerful tool into WipFrag 4.0 to give you even more reasons to use WipFrag!
What’s New:
WipJoint Returns – redesigned with an intuitive new interface for assessing highwalls, measuring Rock Quality Designation (RQD), mapping joint planes and persistence, and determining apparent orientation and in-situ block sizes.
Simply change to the WipJoint view on your analysis card by right-clicking on the chart (tap + hold for mobile).
BlastCast Relocates – We’ve moved the selection for the BlastCast feature to the same analysis card chart options, next to WipJoint, for faster access and a cleaner workflow for our users.
Three Aspects, One Platform
Now WipFrag lets you monitor 3 key aspects of your process:
- Measure size distribution, shape distribution and colour of your material.
- Map joint planes and analyze in-situ block sizes with WipJoint.
- Predict and optimize blast outcomes with BlastCast.
And remember: WipFrag works anywhere – on the surface, underground, or in the air with drone imagery. Try it out today!

WipJoint has continued to evolve as part of WipFrag’s rock-mass characterization capabilities. For current guidance on capturing rock-face images, mapping visible discontinuities, and interpreting apparent joint orientation, spacing, persistence, estimated RQD, and in-situ block size, see our comprehensive WipJoint Guide.
