What Is Industrial CT Scanning? A Complete Guide for Manufacturers
Accuracy and standards of excellence are critical in today’s manufacturing industry, and industrial CT scanning offers both. CT imaging’s remarkable 3D imaging capability using X-ray tech enables the inspection of parts without the need for deconstruction.
Difference between Industrial X-Ray and CT scan
In the modern era of manufacturing which is very precise, non-destructive testing (NDT) is very useful in verifying quality without harming components. The use of imaging technologies, 2D industrial X-ray, and industrial computed tomography (CT) scanning, is widespread. Although both methods utilize X rays to detect objects, their data acquisition methods, resolution, and the applications of each differ considerably.
