Porosity/Inclusion Analysis Algorithms
in VGSTUDIO MAX
VGSTUDIO MAX offers various porosity/inclusion analysis algorithms to ensure optimal porosity detection for each part and scenario. Why? Because in 3D imaging using computed tomography (CT), image quality can be influenced by many factors. For example, short acquisition times in everyday industrial use, as well as large parts and multi-material scenarios, can all lead to reduced image quality. Noise, streak artifacts, contrast and gray value differences, and metal artifacts are additional factors that can affect the image quality.
Algorithms for Flexible and Standard-Compliant Porosity Detection
DefX
- The Swiss army knife among porosity/inclusion detection algorithms
