Title:
Metrology in CT Imaging
Abstract:
The advancement of 3D printing and additive technologies has led to growing demand for new measurement strategies. In order to meet the new challenges in the manufacturing industry, industrial CT has become a critical tool for inspections requiring metrological rigor.
Here we will explore the basics of metrology by CT and a discussion of the major factors that influence the metrological performance. Furthermore, we will discuss the challenges that arise when using a CT system for Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerance (GD&T) projects and present the technical solutions that are necessary to make CT measurements accurate and precise.
