In this example, thanks to one of our clients, we can share some images of a carbon fibre material with a painted coating. We show how the coating thickness can be assessed with an automatic “wall thickness analysis” across the field of view, indicating variations in thickness by colour changes. A fibre orientation analysis shows …

Fibre orientation analysis
Metal fibres (wires) and mesh are often used to reinforce concrete structures, but the angles of these fibres and their separation can affect the strength of the structure, hence full 3D analysis of the fibre orientation can be very useful in understanding material performance. This example shows colour coding for 3D angle orientation, ie. the …

Technology for sport: demonstration of CT scans for crack detection in arrow and bow for archery
In this example, a cracked arrow and cracked bow were scanned as a demonstration of this technology for archery. The idea is that used equipment can be scanned to confirm the lack of internal cracks or defects. This improves the performance of the sports equipment and in the case of archery will result in less accidents. These …
