Analysis method for porous concrete

Often it is necessary to understand the 3D porous structure of materials, but the analysis can be complicated in 3D due to the high interconnectivity of pores. A relatively simple analysis is the foam structure analysis which separates connected pore spaces making the analysis more realistic and comparable between samples, to understand the real pore …

How to crop a volume

CT data is big. Sometimes you need to share data quickly, like using file transfer services, but 10 GB just doesn’t work. Here is a video showing how to select a region of interest and export it to a new volume of less than 2GB, with a VGL file associated with it so the alignment …

Foam structure analysis

In this example a nanoCT scan of a 3 mm section of rigid foam is used to demonstrate the analysis of connected pore spaces. For more technical details please contact us, the images speak “volumes” by themselves:
