Discover the exciting new capabilities of our latest version (as of March 2024)
Version 2024.1 is now available for download. Benefit from the following innovative features*:
Feature highlights
Interactive HTML reports
Interactive HTML reports
Sharing comprehensive inspection results just became even easier. The new HTML format is an all-in-one solution that also supports interactive elements, like part or result 3D views. These self-contained documents eliminate the need for a separate viewer application and are easily accessible with any Chromium-based browser like Edge or Chrome.

More exciting new features
Automation
Improved project organization
Now, projects loaded during batch processing won't automatically clutter your recent files list. This ensures your manually worked-on projects remain readily accessible. However, if you prefer the previous setup, don't worry — you can always change this setting in Preferences.

VGMETROLOGY
Enhancements for ROIs
Improvements for Erode/dilate ROI sphere mode
You can now specify the sphere radius in length units, even on anisotropic data sets. Enjoy significantly boosted performance, reaching computation speeds that are more than 50 times faster — specifically noticeable when utilizing larger radius values.

Preserve metadata between volumes
In the past, transferring metainformation like DICONDE tags between different volumes in a scene was impossible. With this feature, you can now easily move this essential information, even when creating entirely new volumes from initial scan results. This enhancement ensures traceability is maintained throughout your process, keeping your work consistent and structured.

Paint & Segment
Fast toggle for Paint & Segment preview
You can now switch off the Paint & Segment preview temporarily by simply holding down the "O" key. This quick transition enables immediate comparison between gray values and segmentation preview, allowing you to evaluate the segmentation visually in real-time and paint the remaining voxels waiting for accurate classification.
This feature is provided in:
VGSTUDIO MAX
Auto-color for ROIs
ROIs created by Paint & Segment are automatically colored based on their labels, facilitating an effortless differentiation after segmentation. This not only enhances visual clarity of segmented classes in your 2D view, but also renders them in 3D.
This feature is provided in:
VGSTUDIO MAX
Porosity/Inclusion Analysis
Equivalent diameter for P 202
We've listened to your needs and incorporated the commonly used parameter "equivalent diameter" from the P 202 standard into VGSTUDIO MAX. Now, you can further enhance your porosity analysis with the max equivalent diameter tolerance.
This feature is provided in:
VGSTUDIO MAX
Visualize P 203 freeform ROI tolerance status
Managing multiple ROIs in P 203 just got easier. Instantly view the tolerance status of each ROI, color-coded in red or green. This ensures immediate recognition of out-of-tolerance ROIs and their corresponding location in the part, enabling smoother correlation and analysis.
This feature is provided in:
VGSTUDIO MAX
Improved VGEasyPore relative mode
We've improved the relative mode in VGEasyPore to enable easier and more precise pore detection. This updated version* empowers precise pore identification with locally adaptive results, all by simply setting a contrast percentage without the need to manage absolute gray values. The default contrast value of 20% is suitable for most datasets, often eliminating the need for any further adjustments.
*The previous relative mode is still available, ensuring you can still seamlessly run existing analyses and VGinLINE jobs.

VGSTUDIO MAX
VGinLINE
Faster VGEasyPore
VGEasyPore now runs up to three times faster on datasets with many small potential indications*. This significant performance boost will save your valuable time when working with noisy data, making your process more efficient than ever before.
*While the voxel count and number of smallest indications may differ to past results due to the new voxel-exact calculation, the volume and shape features of the detected indications in the results table is not affected and will not change.

VGSTUDIO MAX
VGinLINE
Selection/deselection of "Crop" function in the
P 203 porosity analysis
P 203 porosity analysis
With the new function "Crop indications at freeform ROI edges", you can now decide whether pore feature parameters should only be evaluated within the ROI boundaries or, if desired, also within and beyond them. This applies in particular to detected pores that are intersected by the ROI boundaries and has a huge impact on the results of the porosity analysis on an ROI toleranced with a P 203 porosity key.
The new setting enables a foundry-related, application-specific customization of the porosity evaluation with regard to the application of the P 203 porosity key code to selected ROIs to avoid false-negative analysis results*.
*It is also the new default, but if you rely on the old behavior, you can disable it for newly created analyses. Existing analyses and evaluations will have it already disabled, to maintain consistency with previous versions.
This feature is provided in:
VGSTUDIO MAX
VGinLINE
*Depending on the platform, there are differences in the range of functions for different operating systems. See our continuously updated Product Information page for details.
