CT Solution Guide Additive Manufacturing: Gaining Deeper Insight into Additive Manufacturing Parts
A practical guide to the use of X-ray CT for defect detection, process control, and performance optimization in additive manufacturing.
Additive manufacturing makes possible complex geometries and highly tailored designs. At the same time, internal features such as porosity, lack of fusion, trapped powder, lattice deviations, or surface irregularities can influence mechanical performance, durability, and reliability.
The CT Solution Guide for Additive Manufacturing outlines how X-ray Computed Tomography supports:
- Non destructive 3D inspection of complex components
- Quantitative analysis of pore size and distribution
- Powder particle characterization and contamination assessment
- Design-to-part deviation analysis
- Advanced evaluation workflows for research and critical applications
Based on industrial case studies and established workflows, the guide removes the mystery around CT and its integration into quality control, process optimization, and materials development in a structured and efficient way.
The guide was developed in collaboration with Rigaku. All sample data were acquired using Rigaku systems, with image processing and analysis performed in GeoDict.
