Effective immediately, all computed tomography systems from YXLON International will be delivered including the VGStudio MAX 3.0 visualization and analysis software family.

According to the manufacturer, Volume Graphics, the software has been redeveloped from scratch. By directly implementing VGStudio MAX 3.0 and the add-on modules for special areas of application, YXLON customers profit right away from the numerous improvements and enhancements.

For instance, from the bright or dark theme user interface which can be chosen as needed, from the new capability that now enables working with point cloud data alongside voxel data, meshes and CAD data, and the additional possibility to carry out combined analyses. As a result YXLON is meeting customer demands for new CT applications oriented toward the future such as 3D printing or metrology tasks.

To make all the benefits of this new VG software equally available to business partners who already run YXLON CT systems using the previous release version, YXLON Life Cycle Service is going to offer appropriate upgrade packages on a timely basis which are precisely customized to suit the respective systems and customer applications.

It goes without saying that direct queries addressed to the YXLON Life Cycle Service or Sales staff are welcome, who are glad to advise customers regarding recommendable add-on modules. Primarily affected here are the YXLON systems MU2000-D, Y.Cheetah, Y.Cougar, YXLON MU60 AE, YXLON FF20 CT, YXLON FF35 CT, Y.CT Compact, Y.CT Precision and Y.CT Modular.

Volume Graphics Releases VGStudio MAX 3.0

VGStudio MAX 3.0, the latest version of Volume Graphics’ high-end software for the analysis and visualization of industrial computed tomography (CT) data, is available now. This software enables companies to easily run comprehensive, non-destructive tests in the areas of research, production, and quality approaches to handling large data sets, support of point cloud data, more assurance. New features include a revised user interface, memory-saving flexible automation features, combinable analyses, and simulations based on CT data.

VGStudio MAX 3.0, which has been completely redeveloped to take full advantage of modern hardware, now supports fast SSD storage and GPU acceleration.

A new unload/reload data function for gray values drastically reduces memory requirements. This benefits both metrologists, who do not require the gray values of the object’s interior, and users, who edit and share high-resolution CT data sets.

VGStudio MAX 3.0 can also work with point cloud data in addition to voxel, CAD, and mesh data. Moreover, users can convert from one format to another.

For flexible process automation, macros can now be combined, rearranged, and reused like building blocks.

A new combined analyses feature lets users combine, e.g., a wall thickness analysis with a porosity/inclusion analysis. A defect is then not only classified according to its size, but also according to its size in relation to the local wall thickness.

The improved Coordinate Measurement Module, which allows users to measure even difficult-to-access component surfaces, offers new and enhanced object registration options, tolerancing of registration results, and line and surface profile tolerances.

A new Transport Phenomena Module performs virtual experiments on, e.g., CT scans of soil and rock samples, to identify material properties. Detailed information about VGStudio MAX 3.0 is available on the Volume Graphics website.
