TESCAN Webinar:
Micro-CT and Additive Manufacturing: Moving from 3D to 4D
On demand
ENGLISH
The evolution of additive manufacturing (AM) over the last decade has been impressive and looks to be revolutionary as a disruptive technique in the overall manufacturing arena. However, there are still a number of obstacles to overcome concerning the quality of the final part. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is a non-destructive technique used to create highly detailed 3D volumes of intact samples and is widely used throughout an AM part’s lifecycle, including: process development, process monitoring, and final part quality. TESCAN micro-CT products meet this challenge head-on; providing maximum flexibility and versatility, and opening up the possibility to perform 4D studies on samples.
In this seminar we will provide and discuss:
- the basics of micro-CT,
- examples of imaging 3D printed samples,
- the future of micro-CT and dynamic CT – where samples are continuously scanned at high rates while undergoing change, either naturally or induced.
If you’d like to learn more about this exciting topic, please join us to see the possibilities that micro-CT brings to the additive manufacturing space!
Dynamic imaging of the compression of a 3D printed plastic sample. Over 200 3D images acquired at 6 seconds per scan.
