Flower for Womens day

It was women’s day recently in South Africa so we scanned a flower and made a digital colourful mesh, which you can open in any CAD program or even windows10 can open it in 3D. Find the files on thingiverse here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3843542 Also see the video here and send someone a digital flower : FLOWER

Nautilus nanoCT

A nautilus shell is analyzed here using a nanoCT scan and 3D image analysis powered by VGSTUDIO MAX. For more about this interesting natural structure have a look at wikipedia here, the analysis is meant to show how nanoCT can visualize and analyze interesting structures in full 3D, as in the video and images below. …

Image based simulations: fluid flow in wood microstructure

This example showcases the capability of high resolution 3D images combined with simulations. A nanoCT scan of wood microstructure was used as basis for a simulation of fluid flow, taking as input parameters water viscosity, sealed edges and a pressure difference from top to bottom through the wood. The simulation then provides visual and quantitative …
