The case study describes using X-ray CT scanning to examine assembled bottles with valve systems and identify a mispositioned valve causing leaks that cannot be detected by disassembly. Comparative CT analysis of functional and leaking specimens revealed the valve position difference, and a graphical report with a .zinspect viewer file was delivered to the client.

Carbon Fibers in Focus: CT Scan of a 3D-Printed Composite Part ↗

MPP

TetraVision performed X-ray CT scanning of a 3D-printed polyamide part reinforced with continuous carbon fiber for MPP, a digital laboratory for composites. The scan captured approximately 5,000 X-ray images, reconstructing a high-resolution CT volume that revealed fiber bundle divergence and fractures within the matrix. The data was delivered as a .vgl file for analysis in the myVGL viewer.
