AdvanCT Project at CONTROL 2021 International Trade Fair

May 4-6, 2021

Industrial computed tomography (CT) is increasingly finding its way into coordinate metrology. Previously established primarily in medicine and non-destructive testing, this technique can be used to measure both the external and internal geometric features of a component, such as cavities, without contact and without destroying the object under investigation. This offers great opportunities for the development and quality control of products, but measurements still take a long time and are often too inaccurate. Together with European research partners in the 17IND05 AdvanCT project, methods which significantly improve computed tomographic measurements in industry have been developed, above all making them faster and more accurate. At the Control 2021 virtual trade fair, project results, including 3D animation, will be presented.  www.control-messe.de/nc/control-virtuell/showroom/exhibitor-virtual/46508-ptb/

5th Annual Dimensional X-ray Computed Tomography Conference

May 17-19, 2021

The 5^th annual Dimensional X-ray Computed Tomography Conference is returning to the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, to be held May 17-19, 2021. We are proud to announce that this year’s event will be supported by the AdvanCT project. Participation is free and detailed information can be found here.

Training will be held on May 17:

• Introduction of TIGRE image reconstruction toolbox for dimensional XCT application
• Virtual CT with aRTist

Main themes of the conference on May 18 and 19 include:

• New developments in XCT (technology improvement, correction of errors, etc.)
•  XCT for dimensional metrology (traceability and verification)
• Dimensional XCT for industry applications (automotive, aerospace, additive manufacturing, etc.)
• Dimensional XCT for medical/bio applications
• Standardisation
