The Power of 3D CT Scanning: Peering into the Depths
Imagine a technology that can dissect objects, exposing their features with utmost accuracy. That’s the essence of industrial CT scanning. This technique produces computer scans of the internal and external workings of an object, dissecting parts, assemblies, and products with resolutions as fine as one micron.
Industrial 3D CT Scanning utilizes the same technology as medical diagnostic computed tomography, with a few major differences. In diagnostic computed tomography the patient lies stationary and the X-ray source and detectors rotate axially around them in a helical pattern.
On the other hand, in industrial CT, the scanned object rotates axially while the X-ray source and detector remain fixed. What’s more, industrial scanners utilize much more powerful X-rays than medical diagnostic machines, allowing the rays to penetrate plastic, wood, composite materials, and even metal.
Navigating from 3D to 4D CT Scanning
Central to our capabilities is our breakthrough 4D Imaging+ technology, which introduces object movement for a dynamic view of a product. 4D CT scanning supplements traditional computed tomography, which is capable of extremely accurate dimensional and static fit/clearance studies but can fall short when quality or performance issues arise from microscopic time-varying events. 4D CT scanning can capture the motion of gears or mechanisms, movement of fluids, dispersion of particles, or other dynamic events that traditional computed tomography cannot.
This innovative approach employs custom remote-controlled fixtures and software to manipulate products during scanning. 4D Imaging+ excels in analyzing complex multi-component parts, ensuring flawless manufacturing and seamless assembly.
4D CT scanning finds applications in diverse sectors including biomedical, aerospace, and automotive applications. Engineers use the technology to understand how fluid is absorbed and distributed through materials, to perform failure analysis, and to troubleshoot issues with moving miniature components such as mechatronic systems in additive manufacturing.
