Please see our latest brochure aimed at the manufacturing sector: CT technology is very useful for the analysis of metal castings and also works well for plastic components to check for porosity, defects, and check if certain component walls are thick enough or within design tolerances. Besides defect detection, CAD to part comparisons can be done as well as STL files for reverse engineering (including inner surfaces).

The smaller the objects are the better the quality, and lower atomic mass metals work better, ie aluminium is better than steel.
