The increasing use of additive manufacturing techniques in the production processes in industries shows great growth, such as automotive, aerospace, defense, and electronics, among others, has contributed to the market growth.
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, involves the production of complex designs and structures these are expensive and are difficult to produce using traditional manufacturing methods.
Most people are familiar with CT scanners in the medical field, but CT scanning for three-dimensional industrial measurement, inspection, and modeling has undergone dramatic growth over the last several years.
The benefits of industrial computed tomography, including the precise scanning of micro and large parts of the structure, enable the manufacturer to reduce the product development cost.
Technological advancements such as the integration of artificial intelligence and the development of accessories to enhance image quality obtained by conventional CT scanners are the major factors expected to fuel market growth.
According to NCBI, more than 70 million CT scans are performed in the U.S. and 5 million in the U.K every year with an annual increasing rate of 10%, signifying the growth potential of CT in the overall medical imaging market. A steep rise in the applications of CT scans and growing trends of using CT scans for effective lung cancer screening are expected to boost the demand for CT scanners in developed as well as developing countries.
The Asia Pacific region is expected to offer lucrative opportunities due to its burgeoning industrial sector and focus on quality control. Further advancements in automation, portability, and data analysis will continue to enhance the capabilities and applications of 3D CT scanners.
Industrial computed tomography, also known as CT scanning, uses X-ray technology to create 3D images of both interior and external components. For internal component inspection, industrial CT scanning has been used in many industrial sectors. a device that measures items in three dimensions precisely using X-rays.
Computed tomography (CT) scanners have the ability to scan both an object’s internal surfaces as well as external ones completely, while allowing characterization of the porosity, fiber orientation and structure of the inner materials, all within the same dataset.
The DeskTom CT scanner from Rx Solutions is a 3D micro-tomography and digital radioscopy system enabling previously-inaccessible internal geometries of an object to be inspected without its destruction or labor and cost intensive disassembly.
CT scanners are the ultimate solution to the problem of inspecting internal and external surfaces of a part without having to cut them open or otherwise destroy them. This makes CT scanning ideal for objects that contain internal geometries such as chambers, valves, or deep holes. Entire devices can even be CT scanned so that internal components can be viewed and analyzed in relation to one another.
Because of its extreme accuracy of 5 microns over short distances, the DeskTom CT scanner is ideal for micromachining and micro-molded parts, a rapidly growing industry.
Industrial CT scanners are more affordable now than ever before, and their resolution and accuracy are unequaled. The DeskTom CT scanner offered by Laser Design is compact, requires no special room or location, requires little maintenance, and is the most affordable industrial CT scanner on the market.
The DeskTom offers an outstanding solution to both simple and complicated 3D visualization and inspection projects at about half the price of comparable systems. With power up to 150kV and a working envelope of 230 x 250 mm, the DeskTom can be used with plastics, elastomers and metallic parts.
An object is placed on a rotary table within the 3D CT scanner to be 3D scanned. X-rays enter the object, travel through it, and then collide with a detector, producing a 2D section image. Another X-ray image is then produced while the turntable revolves. More than a thousand cross-sectional X-ray images are combined to create the final 3D scan.
The global 3D industrial CT scanner market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
