In this example a typical 3D X-ray analysis is presented of some radio-controlled airplane engine parts. Thanks to Clinton from Micton Hobbies in Somerset West, for loaning us the parts. Here are photos of the parts: The engine casing is a light metal casting, containing pores/defects. The 3D images clearly show all the defects down …

Our first 3D print from a nanoCT scan data set (blown up from 1 mm to 150 mm length) was successful! In this image the happy client is holding his 3D print of a microstructure within his material. This is a great way to visualize and demonstrate 3D information, great for presentations. When added to …

Two of the four bolts holding the engine of a 5 year old car of a well known German brand broke off, apparently after driving over a Johannesburg speedbump. The customer sent the broken bolt for a microCT scan for further inspection, with images showing the results below (cracks are black lines). Clearly, there are …
