Non Destructive Testing
Volume Graphics' VGStudio MAX software provides sophisticated features
for NDT purposes to its users. The new VGL voxel technology based
image processing and analysis features allow a fast and efficient
work flow even with large amounts of data. Therefore they allow you to
improve product quality, increase productivity, lower development
cycle times and consequently costs.

Example: Quality control of castings
Much of the inherent strength of an engine - and the power it can
safely harness - is determined by the quality of the castings for
such key parts as the block, cylinder heads, crankcase, camshafts
and crankshaft. Finely-honed tolerances together with elimination
of impurities and air locks help give vital consistency. This
enhances reliability and performance by enabling engineers to
determine the strength of parts - and therefore the stresses that
can be safely applied to them - in complete confidence. Advanced
quality control techniques can help create parts of lighter weight
without compromising strength.
Volume Graphics provides advanced software tools necessary to
handle large amounts of data produced by modern 3 industrial CT
scanners within shortest time. Automated internal defect
detection or wall thickness analysis with VGStudio MAX
can be computed within minutes on data sets of more than 1 GB in
size (1024x1024x1024 Voxels)! Voxel based multidimensional image
analysis and visualization shorten former time consuming
slice-by-slice or STL based approaches.
