Computed tomography (CT) provides a three-dimensional view of the inspected object, allowing accurate analysis of aperture and wall thickness, measurement of geometric tolerances, comparison between actual condition and target conditions, or the extracted STL data.
Because of the description of the 3D test object, CT may be more accurate than radiography in analyzing the test object. In addition to providing a more accurate assessment of detection, computed tomography provides valuable information about the production process itself. This kind of information helps speed up the process, for example, during initial prototyping, or using CT data to reduce the number of nonconforming products and correct the process in a timely manner.
