3D neutron tomography:: recent developments and first steps towards reverse engineering

The 3D Neutron CT facility at FRM Garching is now operating successfully at a new cold beam line. The higher flux, improved motion control and new image processing software have reduced the time from exposure to 3D model down to one working day. For the first time, reverse engineering techniques hav...

Summary:The 3D Neutron CT facility at FRM Garching is now operating successfully at a new cold beam line. The higher flux, improved motion control and new image processing software have reduced the time from exposure to 3D model down to one working day. For the first time, reverse engineering techniques have been applied to data generated by neutron CT from metal machine parts. Both 3D models and inverse moulds were created using selective laser sintering, and an exact replica was cast in aluminum.
