Computed Tomography (CT) has been a well-established technology in medical diagnostics for decades. In the past few years, industrial 3D imaging has become a very powerful non-destructive analytical method.
It can provide detailed information about the object of interest, e.g. its structure, composition, defect/pore sizes and distribution.
Applications
It is possible to use Computed Tomography to analyze properties of engineered objects for a number of different applications, e.g.:
- Porosity determination
- Wall thickness analysis
- Calculation of fiber orientations and many others
Application example
An example of 3D structure/imaging is the porosity determination of an aerate concrete sample. The images below demonstrate how this looks:
