Researchers in Germany Use Computed Tomography to Examine Hidden Face in Nefertiti

Using CT imaging to study a priceless bust of Nefertiti, researchers have uncovered a delicately carved face in the limestone inner core and gained new insights into methods used to create the ancient masterpiece and information pertinent to its conservation, according to a study published in the April issue of Radiology.

CT Scanning Helped Reveal Complex Mysteries of Antikythera Mechanism

In an exciting link-up between high-tech industry and international universities, the secrets of a 2000 year old astronomical calculating device - the Antikythera Mechanism - were unraveled.

3D Micro-Tomography - A Powerful Engineering Tool

Tomography is an advanced imaging technique used to isolate and visualize a particular section of an object, based on multiple exposures.

Advantages of CT in 3D Scanning of Industrial Parts

Computed tomography (CT) has come along way since its public inception in 1972. The rapid improvement of computer technology and increased capabilities of CT scanning have definitely gone hand in hand. This increase in capability has led to CT scans being used more often and in more ways than ever before.

CT Scanning Examines Titanium Implant Research at the Canadian National Research Council

Industrial material researchers at the National Research Council Canada (NRC) investigate titanium foam plugs that have been implanted into rabbits. After six weeks, they use a Metris XT H industrial CT scanner to visualize bone in-growth into the porous titanium foam implants.

Cylinder Internal Geometry Successfully Scanned with 3D Laser Scanning Process

The Challenge: A manufacturer of performance engine components was redesigning one of their water jacket cylinders through a reverse engineering process. The assembled jacket contained "hidden" areas that were not accessible to common measuring technologies, neither contact nor non-contact.

Reverse Engineering Employing CGT for CAD/CAM Applications

In my field of CAD/CAM (computer aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) for the jewelry industry, I have been asked to source a cost-effective method allowing a jewelry manufacturer to digitize and incorporate handmade jewelry designs in a CAD software environment.
