Capabilities

Data quality analysis
Monitor the data quality of your CT scans over time by keeping track of the spatial resolution and gray value contrast resolution. This ensures a consistently high-quality basis for your analysis and measurement results. VG software supports data quality analysis according to ASTM E 1441 and ASTM E 1695.

Visualisation and animation
Transform your data into captivating 3D and 2D visualisations with VG software. Impress and influence peers, decision-makers, and the public with stunning animations and exploded views—your only limit is your RAM.

Surface determination
All CT-based metrology relies on accurate surface determination in the voxel model, which reduces measurement uncertainty. Our surface determination feature minimizes measurement uncertainty by being subvoxel-accurate and locally adaptive, enabling the measurement of details smaller than a voxel. It processes grey values based on surrounding voxels for greater accuracy and includes an interval-based mode for high-accuracy, adaptive surface determination in automated environments with variable grey values. Additionally, it features a multi-material mode for simultaneous surface determination of multiple materials, producing one component per material.

Basic alignment and measurement tools
Our software offers essential alignment features, including Simple 3-2-1 alignment and Simple alignment, to ensure precise positioning. It also provides fundamental reference measurement tools, such as distance, polyline length, and angle measurement instruments. The Snap Mode feature also allows instruments to snap to surfaces easily, simplifying the measurement process.

Segmentation
Separate data sets into individual regions of interest (ROIs) consisting of different components and materials using manual selection, drawing tools, and semi-automated tools.

Reporting
VG software delivers immediate, actionable results, including insightful graphics and detailed reports. Export images, histograms, and data tables in standard formats, create customisable inspection reports, and interface with third-party quality management or statistical process control software. These reporting features are an excellent way to share the extensive information VGSTUDIO MAX provides about your scanned parts.

Automation
VGSTUDIO MAX offers easy-to-set-up automation compatible with nearly every CT system. This fast and flexible solution speeds up repetitive analyses with powerful automation functions. Automating recurring workflow elements can enhance efficiency across various tasks even for infrequently scanned objects.
