Our History
Our History
While the company was founded in 1997, the history of Volume Graphics actually dates back a few years earlier:
- In the early 1990s, physicists Christof Reinhart, Thomas Günther, and Christoph Poliwoda developed a hardware system for the visualization of three-dimensional volume data sets based on images taken by CT scanners. It was the world's first computer capable of processing CT slice-image data sets in real-time and in 3D.
- In 1997, Reinhart, Günther, and Poliwoda founded Volume Graphics GmbH. They shifted their focus from hardware to software and developed the first software application able to process CT slice-image stacks in 3D on standard PC hardware.
- In 1998, Volume Graphics introduced its first software product: VGSTUDIO 1.0. From this point on, users no longer had to analyze volume data slice by slice. Instead, analyses of industrial CT scans covered the volume in all three dimensions.
Since 1997, Our Product Range Has Grown Significantly.
Since 1997, Our Product Range Has Grown Significantly.
Volume Graphics software is successfully used in research, manufacturing, and quality assurance. No wonder, since Volume Graphics’ range of products supports all types of analyses and visualizations using industrial CT data.
