Research project: Size matters: x-ray computed tomography for dimensional metrology
The efficient measurement of the shape and size of industrial components is a fundamental requirement for many performance and safety critical industries, from aerospace engineering to renewable energy production and defense. The use of x-ray computed tomography (XCT) for dimensional measurement is a relatively recent innovation. This is driven partly by the advent of ever more advanced manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, which increasingly allow the design and manufacture of components with extremely complex shapes and internal parts.
