Our CT 101 video series will guide you through the fundamentals of industrial CT, using our Lumafield Neptune CT scanner and Voyager analysis software. Whether you’re new to CT or looking to enhance your existing workflows, these videos will equip you with the knowledge you need to harness the full potential of this powerful technology.

Introduction to Industrial CT

Industrial CT is a powerful tool for solving engineering challenges, but it has been out of reach for most companies until now. In this video, we explore how industrial CT works and how it’s used in various industries.

‍Industrial CT uses X-rays to capture detailed 3D images of objects, allowing engineers to see both external and internal features. In this video, you’ll see the Lumafield Neptune CT scanner in action and learn how X-rays are projected through the scan subject to create radiographs. These radiographs are then reconstructed into a 3D model using Lumafield’s Voyager software, enabling comprehensive visualization and analysis. We also cover the basics of how industrial CT can be applied to product design, quality control, and failure analysis, with examples from the automotive, medical devices, and athletic equipment industries.

Introduction to Neptune

The Lumafield Neptune CT scanner is designed for ease of use and integration into various environments. This video provides a detailed walkthrough of the scanner’s features, safety protocols, and setup process. 

You’ll learn about Neptune’s compact design, which fits through standard doorways and operates on a standard outlet. We also cover the scanner’s user-friendly interface, fixturing tips for optimal scan quality, and the process of starting a scan. This video is essential for anyone looking to understand the practical aspects of operating a CT scanner.

Introduction to Voyager

Voyager is Lumafield’s browser-based software for working with CT scan data. This video guides viewers through Voyager’s robust analysis tools, including precise dimensioning, comparison workflows, and automated analyses. 

You’ll learn how Voyager can reduce part inspection time, cut costs on design rework, and conduct in-depth failure studies. We walk through the creation of inspection planes, taking linear and angular measurements, and using comparison tools to assess manufacturing accuracy and wear. We also explore automated analysis features like Porosity Analysis, Inclusion Analysis, and Crack and Leak Detection, discovering their importance in quality control and material integrity assessments.

Voyager Inspection Workflows

Voyager’s visualization and analysis tools are designed to enhance inspection capabilities and streamline complex processes. This video delves into Voyager’s advanced workflows for in-depth inspection and analysis. 

Learn about the importance of dimensioning, comparison workflows, and integrity analysis in various stages of product development. The video covers the use of Voyager for creating detailed inspection planes, overlaying scanned objects on CAD models, and performing Scan-to-Scan comparisons. It also highlights Automated End-to-End Workflows and the role of Lumafield’s AI co-pilot, Atlas, in guiding users through the software and interpreting scan data. This comprehensive walkthrough is perfect for engineers and designers looking to maximize their use of Voyager for inspection and analysis.
